Unify Corp has done an implementation of its Accell applications development system and Unify relational database to run on Apple Computer Inc’s A/UX implementation of Unix, which it hopes will make A/UX more attractive to corporate and educational users. Vertical market packages have been written for the Accell/Unify database package for use in the health care, manufacturing, retail and distribution, banking and finance, and government administration sectors. The software will run on Apple’s Macintosh II, IIx and IIcx A/UX models, which after a slow start have begun attracting orders from large corporate users and the US defence industry. Meanwhile, Unify Corp is expanding its value added reseller channels in the US with a new VAR sales accelerator initiative, offering resellers more technical, sales and marketing support, along with an 80% discount on the price of the Accell 4GL development system, which brings the cost down to $900 from $4,500.
