The MS in MIS program at the McIntire School of Commerce, UVA, is relatively new. This semester it offered a course in UNIX literacy and Micro Focus COBOL, which will be followed-up next semester by a course in ORACLE and INFORMIX. I have heard, in more than one occasion, that UNIX operating system is being used more and more every day in the developing Management Information Systems. I would appreciate if someone could shed some more light on this matter. What I would like to know is how much of this "rumor" is really true? Thanks in advance.
