We also have set up mail accounts to handle info requests for Tigre, our Interface Builder for Smalltalk-80, and for Tigris, our Multi-User Object Oriented Database System. For Info on Tigre (Interface Builder), or Tigris (Database), send mail to: ucscc!veda!info@ucbvax.berkeley.edu To request a beta agreement, send mail to: ucscc!veda!beta@ucbvax.berkeley.edu To talk to Jordan directly, send mail to: ucscc!veda!jordan@ucbvax.berkeley.edu Ucscc is also on the internet as ucscc.ucsc.edu, so you can mail to veda!info@ucscc.ucsc.edu veda!beta@ucscc.ucsc.edu veda!jordan@ucscc.ucsc.edu Only send mail to the well account as a last resort.... We have our own UUCP system now, and want to minimize well traffic. as well, if your mailer knows about it. All mailers should know about UCBVAX! The rest of our address info is: Tigre Object Systems 11 Glen Canyon Road Santa Cruz, Ca 95060 U.S.A. Phone: (408) 426-5308 Fax : (408) 479-4196 A note on the name of our system, for those wondering why we didn't call it Tigre, or TOS....There's already a tiger on the net (princeton), and tigre would confuse mailers....People would also misspell it...And mail would bounce off of princeton. TOS is a TLA (Three Letter Acronym) and there are already too many TLA's in the computer field. Veda is the Sanskrit word for "Knowledge"...Or "To Know"...The Rig Veda is the oldest written book known to man. Sanskrit is the oldest, and most organized, language, and it's OBJECT-MODIFIER-VERB sentence structure is very similar to Smalltalk. The purpose of Tigre is to store and disseminate Knowledge, and thus veda seems appropriate.... Jordan -- +===========================================================================+ + Jordan A.
