BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, 1990 FEB 1 (NB) -- The Queensland state stamp duties office has awarded a contract to NCR for the installation of a system consisting of Tower 32/850 supermicros, NCR intelligent terminals and dumb terminals. Software developer QCOM is to developUnix software for the network. The state of Queensland is two and a half times the size of Texas, but with only 15 percent of the population so the network will be thinly spread but must still ensure data security and reliability. This is the first core application in the stamp duties department consigned to Unix. (Paul Zucker/19900202)
