Unify Corp has given the Sun-AT&T Open Look graphical user interface a boost by launching a new version of its Accell/SQL applications development technology supporting the interface. Currently on beta test, Accell/SQL for Open Look gives developers the option of bringing both new and existing Unix applications to the Open Look environment. There are cliamed to be over 450 Accell applications, and Unify says these will run under X Window and Open Look with no additional programming. Applications can still be run in character mode, or on a mixture of character-based terminals and X terminals on a network. Micros running Microsoft Windows are also supported. Unify provides a run-time version, so that once developers have invested in a development version, further copies can be sold on to customers at a quarter of the price. Prices range from UKP370 up to UKP83,880, depending on the number of users and it’s available this quarter.
