This is currently by a large margin the most powerful facility of this sort in the world. In September 1994 (and before in fact) we open our doors to the scientific users of Europe and we have recognized the need for a powerful and widespread database for a diverse set of applications. These range from the archival of data to the management of users proposals for experimental time. While looking around we came upon POSTGRES and have been impressed by its capabilities and its applicability to scientific research. We have its compiled now for our two prevalent types of machine: HP700 under HPUX V8.07 and 9 and SUN4 under SUNoS 4.1.3. I have two requests: 1) Could you place me on any mailing list that you have. 2) We have so far been unable to bring a windows based application into operation. We can work up to a point using Windows Development tools such as Builder Accessory or HP Architect but it is relatively hard work to interface this actually to the data. We have tried to put PICASSO into operation but have so far failed. Can you give me any advice or help. -- --------------------------------------------- | WCA Pulford | | | | European Synchrotron Radiation Facility | | Boite Postale 220 | | F - 38043 Grenoble Cedex | | France | | | | Tel.: +33 76.88.21.48 | | pulford@esrf.esrf.fr | ---------------------------------------------
