Paris-based Thomson-CSF SA’s Must Software International SA has announced the first versions of its Nomad applications generator for Unix, starting with IBM Corp systems. Later this year it will add a Sun Microsystems Inc version, next year one for Hewlett-Packard Co. Shipping now, Nomad for Unix offers an environment for client-server application development and reporting. It provides a windowed user interface, non-procedural proprietary language, procedural language, reporting and data management facilities, a developer’s workbench and a syntax-free reporting front end. It comes with a Sybase SQL Server interface, enabling full read-write client-server access to Sybase from AIX, OpenVMS, MS-DOS and OS/2 clients. The company plans to add Motif support in the first half of 1994 and communications support via TCP/IP by the second half of 1994. The single-user price is $2,500. Multi-user pricing ranges from $10,500 to $120,000, depending on the class of machine and the number of users on it.
