Subject: Statice now runs on Unix

Hi there,
since I've never seen 'Symbolics' or 'Statice' in
comp.database.object, this might be interesting:
A few days ago, Symbolics announcecd the availability of a beta-
release of their ODBMS 'Statice' on Unix platforms. It is quite
powerful and tightly integrated within Common Lisp.
Currently, Symbolics and LUCID are supported.
People (like me) used to Symbolics' Genera development environment
can continue to use Statice there (where it has been already
successfully employed in 'real world' applications)
and now also use it on Unix Workstations. (Those are the cheaper
boxes, I guess). Both kinds of platforms can be freely intermixed
in a network.
Statice is based on standards of Lisp: CLOS and CLIM
(Common Lisp Object System, resp. Common Lisp Interface Manager)
Here's the address of Symbolics in Germany; they're mostly
responsible for Statice on Unix:
Symbolics Systemhaus GmbH
Mergenthalerallee 77
6236 Eschborn (til June 31)
65760 Eschborn (from July 1)
Tel. (49) 6196-47220, Fax (49) 6196-481116
Contact person is Dr. Thomas Neumann (ยทยท@symbolics.de).
I don't have the address of Symbolics in the US and UK
right now, but I post them soon, so that they can also be
added to the vendor's list, which is frequently posted
to comp.database.object.
People in comp.lang.lisp will probably know Symbolics
pretty well.
