Progress Software Corp has launched a distributed processing version of its Progress applications generator and relational database management system. The software is designed for hetero geneous networks of computers concurrently running MS-DOS and Xenix. Demonstated at the recent Santa Cruz Operation Forum ’88 exhibition, the software enables Progress users to configure a network in which the database resides on a Xenix-based server machine, with the client processes on Xenix, Unix or MS-DOS hardware. The new facility joins other Progress/D products, including LAN Progress, a fault tolerant personal computer local network database server product, a Unix local network product, and an offering based on Intel’s OpenNet Xenix network. Pricing will include discounts for multiple CPU networks; the company didn’t say where it lived.
