The reason for two products is historical, very broadly :

UniVerse was developed by a company called VMark

Unidata was developed by a company called Unidata

They competed for a number of years

Then they merged and became Ardent, with two products.
I think they considered merging the products but decided against it

Ardent was then taken over by Informix, nothing much happened

Informix was taken over by IBM, there is more activity

Still two products

We are running AIX/D3 right now.
The question has been raised "Do we want to stay with Pick or move to
another database?"  Common sense, in this case, dictates stay on Pick.

I have started looking into the different MV database products
available: Revelation(?),  jBASE, QM, and the U2 products.  My initial
question was: "Why two different products?  What's the difference?"

That's all really.

Yeah, I don't think *I* even have that anymore.  'Twas a while back by
now :)
