-@appendix What is Unireg?
-
-@cindex Unireg, described
-@cindex interface builder
-
-Unireg is our tty interface builder, but it uses a low-level connection
-to our ISAM (which is used by MySQL) and because of this it is
-very quick. It has existed since 1979 (on Unix in C since ~1986).
-
-Unireg has the following components:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-One table viewer with updates/browsing.
-@item
-Multi table viewer (with one scrolling region).
-@item
-Table creator. (With lots of column tags you can't create with MySQL)
-This is WYSIWYG (for a tty). You design a screen and Unireg prompts for
-the column specification.
-@item
-Report generator.
-@item
-A lot of utilities (quick import/export of tables to/from text files,
-analysis of table contents...).
-@item
-Powerful multi-table updates (which we use a lot) with a BASIC-like
-language with LOTS of functions.
-@item
-Dynamic languages (at present in Swedish and Finnish). If somebody wants
-an English version there are a few files that would have to be translated.
-@item
-The ability to run updates interactively or in a batch.
-@item
-Emacs-like key definitions with keyboard macros.
-@item
-All this in a binary of 800K.
-@item
-The @code{convform} utility. Converts @file{.frm} and text files between
-different character sets.
-@item
-The @code{myisampack} utility. Packs an ISAM table (makes it 50-80%
-smaller). The table can be read by MySQL like an ordinary
-table. Only one record has to be decompressed per access. Cannot handle
-@code{BLOB} or @code{TEXT} columns or updates (yet).
-@end itemize
-
-We update most of our production databases with the Unireg interface and
-serve web pages through MySQL (and in some extreme cases the Unireg
-report generator).
-
-Unireg takes about 3M of disk space and works on at least the following
-platforms: SunOS 4.x, Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, ICL Unix, DNIX, SCO and
-MS-DOS.
-
-Unireg is currently only available in Swedish and Finnish.
-
-The price tag for Unireg is 10,000 Swedish kr (about $1500 US), but this
-includes support. Unireg is distributed as a binary. (But all the ISAM
-sources can be found in MySQL.) Usually we compile the binary for the
-customer at their site.
-
-All new development is concentrated to MySQL.
