|  | None of them were ever 'the DSRI architect', though they are ex-Rdb/ELN
folks and one of them was certainly one of the 2 principals in the
initial DSRI definition.

| 25.2 | more about interbase and pictor | BRSADV::BOUQUIAUX |  | Wed Aug 26 1987 07:53 | 6 | 
|  |     hello michael,
    i have read the "DEC PROFESSIONAL " of augustus about INTERBASE
    have you other literature about "INTERBASE" and about "PICTOR"
    (see the article)
    we(A.C.T. unit of DEC BELGIUM) are very interested.
    Thanks in advance.

| 25.3 | not much info, but ... | CREDIT::CAMERON |  | Wed Aug 26 1987 18:33 | 11 | 
|  |     Have you tried calling InterBase and asking for marketing literature
    and a reference site that you could call.  This would allow you
    to make a list of 'strong points' about the product.  That will
    provide you with half the story.
    
    From my understanding, ( I have not seen it ) it is a good system.
    It is very smart about the way it uses DSRI. I can't believe that
    it could be much better than Digital's DSRI products. I have no idea
    how well it is selling or how solid the company is.

| 25.5 | Give them a call..... | GYCSC1::APPS | $ SET OLTP /NAME=VAX ACMS | Thu Sep 10 1987 20:08 | 9 | 
|  |     If you give them a call at (617)649-3977 they will send you, in
    a very short space of time, a large amount of literature which I
    am not going to attempt to paraphrase here.
    
    Should anything come of some enquiries going on here as to the use
    of the software in a mixed-vendor environment (SUN, APOLLO, DEC),
    I'll post a note.
    
    John
