Are you sure they didn't get an initial license in '92 and then re-licensed for a later version on '96 or therabouts? My recollection is that I was working with Sybase 11 in 95/96 on NCR UNIX boxes and that was when MS announced that it had bought a license for Sybase. Back in '92 I'd been involved in briefly looking at Sybase for a project we'd been designing as an alternative for using ICL mainframe kit: I'd didn't do any serious work with Sybase databases before the mid 1990s and so the news that MS had bought a license in '92 would likely have gone straight over my head: most of the database stuff I did back then was with IDMS rather than relational databases. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
