Close - Java is a relatively new programming language developed by James Gosling of Sun Microsystems, geared towards the Web and the concept of distributed computing. It is a powerful, yet simplistic language, interpretive in nature, designed to facilitate rapid program development, distributed resources, secure, well-behaved program code. HotJava is a sort of proof-of-concept browser written by Sun to show off the Java language. > The objective is to provide the WWW with more powerful > capabilities especially in the field of animations and multimedia > without imposing high loads on the network. Well, not necessarily. The main goal of Java is to provide a means to pool the resources of many, many different sites and processors, each contributing some to the end result. The cute little animations you're seeing now are just the beginning - sort of like saying BASIC was a language designed to write "Hello World", or Pascal is just a language to teach programming. Look at some of the applications today that are written in BASIC (one accounting program for Unix comes to mind), or Pascal (including this editor I'm using now). We'll see the same progression with Java, with the browser/workstation filling the role of the I/O device, and the network becoming the central processing unit. --- * Origin: Somewhere on the eastern seaboard (1:2605/606) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 176 UNIX Ref: CEU00000 Date: 10/23/95 From: ROB WEHRLI Time: 10:32pm \/To: BOB BACOLA (Read 10 times) Subj: DATABASE FOR UNIX On 22 Oct 95 07:09am, Bob Bacola wrote to All: There are numerous types of db products available for Linux. Please indicate your preference, and I'll be happy to share whatever information I have with you. Some places to look are the sunsite (and mirrors) archives and the Linux Journal. There is an extensive list of commercial products for Linux, but I'll have to check to see where it is these days...memory..fleeting at best. If you're the x-base type, you may wanna take a look at VersoSoft's dbMAN. Calls to (408) 723-9044 will probably help. There is an ansi sql product by Just Logic at 800-267-6887. Considering the number of share/freeware products available for Linux, it seems that these commerical items are a bit pricey, but in my experience, they are very much worth the relatively (comparatively) low cost for technical support, documentation _and_ oftentimes excellent products. I'll be happy to scour the remaining items I've mentioned above for more info if this isn't enough to whet your appetite. Rob! BB> Does anyone know of any database software for Linux?

Problem is it only talks kermit for starters. And its pretty sad at making the connection for you....especially the more complex ones including dialback security and stuff that businesses require and its terminal emulation isnt what I would call A1. > In a few years we will all be using some variant of TCP/IP > anyway...
