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!
