Whatever happened to the Itasca ODBMS?
I went to www.ibex.ch and their only product seems to be something called
"Project Vista". Has the ODBMS product somehow morphed into something with
builtin models for general purpose business applications?

They still have a white paper on their web site:

ITASCA in multimedia manufacturing integration. At Database '95 (Palais
des Congrès, Paris) client Odense Lindø, the world's second largest
shipbuilder, presented their experience using ITASCA to manage millions of
objects, largely from legacy CAD applications and countless other
databases.

Interesting, but I was thinking of something that provides a programming
model within the database environment, along the lines of GemStone and (I
think) Itasca.

Interesting. Thomas Beale posted a message on comp.databases.object around
August last year and mentioned he had develope an Eiffel binding for
Matisse, but also said:

Matisse appears to have been bought out and buried by another company,
leaving all its users high and dry.

I have had contact with Fresher, the company that owns Matisse, and they have
indeed decided to market it again. It is still my odb of choice.

Hi Tom.
Yea, I had a quick look at the web site. I'm also in contact with them
regarding something else.
Cheers,
