We are currently in the process of evaluating possible alternatives
for our News Archival System in the future. In particular, the PICK
database/operating system as implemented by IOS Inc. on C.ITOH hardware is
under consideration. In the past, we have used PICK on a Honeywell
with support from Ultimate. This configuration is now obsolete.
The following items/issues are of interest to us:
* Opinions/Comments/Experience/Recommendations on PICK related products and
on PICK itself
* ...on IOS
* ...on C.ITOH (CIE Systems)
* ...on Ultimate
* How "open" a system is it for the future? ...possibilities for growth?
* Connectivity with DEC VAXes (Ultrix, VMS), Suns, and other UNIX machines
via Ethernet, tcp-ip, etc.
If you or anyone you know is familiar with these issues,
***PLEASE*** send me e-mail or call me. I'd be very interested in
their experience(s) and opinion(s) with regard to this matter.
We appreciate any info/help.
Rex
