Is this the right place for this? As far as I can see, this is just an AD & nothing to do with U2??

This new package is based on the commercial MultiValue database QM, developed by Ladybridge Systems in the UK. About QM * Originally developed for in-house use at Ladybridge in 1995 * Released as a stand-along database engine in 2001 * Not beta code. Full production code with real users. * Complete MultiValue environment * Basic comiler and run-time * Query language with dictionaries * MultiValue filesystem with dynamic files * external C/VP API * Update triggers * User defined functions Announcing OpenQM OpenQM is an open-source fork of QM with all features intact. OpenQM is being released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) allowing for full access to source code and free use for all applications that are compatible with the GPL license. For applications that need other license terms, commercial licenses are also available at a cost that is 15-20% that of similar sized U2 systems. Call for Developers Most of OpenQM is implemented in BASIC. Even internal functions such as the Basic debugger, TCL, and line INPUT are implemented in BASIC. Almost the entire system can be extended in BASIC. If you are a MultiValue developer and want to get "under the hood" of a remarkable platform, we want to here from you. Join the 'openqm-devel' mailing list at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openqm-devel Call for Users Take control of your MultiValue destiny. Control costs. Help build a community. While the open-source version of QM is not quite available yet, you can get a demo copy of the existing QM software to start working with right now. The release for Linux is only a 460K download with a seperate, much larger, download for documentation and the client API code. Come Visit Us While still pretty new, we are working hard on building an internet presence for OpenQM.
