oz@rlgvax.UUCP (THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ) (09/23/83)
Just a quick note: CCI's (Computer Consoles Inc.) Office Automation system
is called OfficePower not UNIX. UNIX is a trademark of Bell Labs, Office
Power is a trademark of CCI for its Office Automation system that runs
under the UNIX operating system. Since I am involved with the product, I
do not think it would be fair for me to comment on it. For an in depth
analysis of OfficePower by an impartial observer, see the latest edition of
the Seybold report which discusses OfficePower.

As OZ is aware, I am involved in the installation and evaluation of CCIs Office Power at a major military installation. I do not want to comment on the package on the net, not because of severe problems with the package (by and large we are happy with it, and CCI has been co-operative), but rather articles tend to have a long half-life. There are some problems that are being worked on, and if anyone is interested, I will send them mail, but I do not want to post an article about a bug, then have the bug fixed, but the article hang around or get passed around for months. In general, the system works well, and supports electronic mail with attachments, telephone messages, calendars, reminders, a word processor, some data base capabilities, and some interesting alternatives to 'vipw' and the like (did I get them all OZ?). -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric
