After phase II (Aug 94 - Feb 95): Unix migration

'Sybase seem unable to fix the problems, and now no longer suggest using their Novell product for major systems. It looks likely that the only solution is to move the database onto UNIX, and budgetary agreement to this has been reached in principle. Trials on UNIX are currently being conducted.

It would be unreasonable to attribute much blame for this to GIS - Sybase is a reputable and established supplier; a more cautious technical approach would simply have moved to UNIX earlier, at a stage where the product seemed stable.'
