The UNIX Library Systems Marketplace

Abstract

As the computing world in general gets more excited about Open Systems and UNIX, so these developments are reflected in the library housekeeping systems marketplace, a trend which was identified in VINE 76 (The turnkey systems marketplace: ten years on). There are now quite a number of systems on the market either running exclusively under UNIX or in addition to versions available for other operating systems. Table 1 provides a summary of such systems currently available in the UK, giving some suggested hardware platforms and alternative operating systems on which they run.
