- It's now Helix Tachnologies "Helix Express". I have had it since 1984 and it is
- the only database I'd recommend to my small-business clients, especially if they
- want to maintain it in the future. I've never had data problems and we're
- talking eight years here! As for technical support I have had no problems,
- mirabile dictu! Rumour has it that the "management" of Odesta just lost it
- and ran aground - they ignored Helix in the end to concentrate on that
- silly "Geo-query" product. True, as in all things, there are problems
- even now, but Helix has been around longer than any database product
- for the Mac. Also, its speed (I think MacWorld or MacUser) is faster than
- other relational db's.
-
- Furthermore - there's a(n?) HELIX LISTSERVER!
