The Which Computer? Show last month saw Compsoft Plc, now part of the Headland Group Plc, and based in Godalming, Surrey, launch a number of extensions to its Delta 5 relational and transactional database for MS-DOS machines. One new addition, called Delta Five Graphics, provides the ability to display four graphs simultaneously on screen and to create a three dimensional effect. Also highlighted was the Delta Five Network database software, which stores databases anywhere on the network and allows up to 32 users to set up relationships across the network. Compsoft claims that Delta Five products are designed not for the professional programmer, but for people unfamiliar with computer technology. The package will be shipped as from April 1989, and will cost UKP300 for the single user and UKP400 for the networked version. Meanwhile, Compsoft’s training division based at The Manor House in Godalming, is looking to expand its range of training packages. According to managing director Peter Salkeld, by July of this year, they will have launched one specifically aimed at the Unix and Xenix markets. Geoff Bristow, chairman of Compsoft’s parent, has recently comfirmed that the Unix market is of particular interest.
