Doric Computer Systems International Ltd, based in Watford, Hertfordshire, has bought the worldwide copyrights to the Info range of applications generator software products from Henco Software Inc, Waltham, Massachusetts (Henco is now called Expressway and is concentrating on different markets). Info, a relational database management system, includes a data dictionary, forms-based data entry, interactive report writer and free-form query system. The software started on Prime Computer Inc and Digital Equipment Corp VAX hardware, although Doric converted the software for Unix around 18 months ago. Doric has now opened an office in Seattle and plans to launch the Unix version in the US. Future developments include the addition of a graphical user interface and SQL interfaces to Oracle and Ingres. Environmental Systems Research Institute Inc, based in Redlands, California, uses the pro-duct as the basis for its ARC/Info geographic information system.
