if you're using OI (or thinking about it), get the manuals. $60 total
gets you a @250page user guide on uib and more importantly a >1000page
OI programmer's guide that is very well written (from my novice
point of view). professional, not the pr common with dos stuff;
besides being a tech ref, includes nice little examples.
where i work, we're downsizing; i plan on oi being my main
development tool. btw, in the oi ref, page Notes-2, one can read:
"OI runs on SunOS, AIX-RS/6000, HP-UX-HP9000/700, IRIX-SGI, Ultrix-DEC,
Linux-i386; it has been ported to a few other platforms as well."
that oi is free on linux is important to me; that it is not free on
the other systems that my company uses is not a problem-they're used
to buying software!
