Open-source software
The newest version, db-UIM/X 2.9 offers developers a new novice mode for easy learning, advanced internationalization The support for monetary values, time and date for countries around the world. It also embraces the use of native characters and symbols in the different alphabets. See localization, i18n, Unicode and IDN. internationalization - internationalisation providing automatic message catalog generation and improved OO capabilities that help define methods created in db-UIM/X. "db-UIM/X has emerged as a clear leader in the UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). client/server development tool market. It not only has all the capabilities of the market-leading UIM/X UIM/X User Interface (builder for) Motif / X Window GUI builder, but also full database support," said Bob Bickel, director of products for Bluestone bluestone, common name for the blue, crystalline heptahydrate of cupric sulfate called chalcanthite, a minor ore of copper.

Novice Mode - provides a convenient starting point for new users
giving them a simple model for building applications. Developers
simply lay out objects on a window, and drag and drop them onto
database objects to create applications quickly and easily.
Improved OO Capabilities - enabling developers to construct their user
interfaces out of reusable GUI object classes called components.
These components feature encapsulation, inheritance and
polymorphism - which means that db-UIM/X developers have full,
unabridged access to all the benefits of object oriented
programming.
Advanced Internationalization - Development of international
applications usually requires message catalogs be created for all
translated text. This new feature gives developers an automated
process for message cataloging instead of creating each catalog
manually.
Run Mode - provides a quick and easy way to test a newly generated
application. Run mode gives developers an easy way to test the
main program and the Interface Functions of the interfaces,
saving further time in life cycle development.-0-
