peachey (10/21/82)

Name of site:
	hssg40
What the site is all about:
	Hospital Systems Study Group is forty-person, non-profit
	corporation formed fifteen years ago.  We are involved in
	the provision of interactive information systems to health-care
	institutions.  Since 1977, the development of such systems at
	HSSG has been based on UNIX.  We are currently on V7, but expect
	to be moving to System III in a few weeks.  We will also be a
	vendor of UNIX System III binary licenses before the end of
	1982.  We have invested several man-years in the maintenance
	and improvement of UNIX, both to make the system more "turn-key"
	and to improve kernel performance and reliability.  We have
	also done a great deal of work to provide high-performance
	multi-user database access and "application generation" tools
	for our hospital applications.
