I heard that IBM bought Unidata and Universe to kill them off.
To their surprise many of us are refusing to let the U2 die.
I think the problem WAS (apparently the people involved have moved on)
that the top people in the DB2 group (of which U2 is a part) were very
heavily emotionally involved in DB2 itself.
They've now been replaced with people who are a bit more
business-minded, and who realise that the U2 databases are valuable.
Maybe U2 will do an Informix on IBM (remember when Informix took over
Ardent it turned into a reverse-takeover, and it was Informix that came
off worse :-)
