UniVerse (and I believe AccuTerm) are both now owned by Rocket.

MVBasic is the generic term. Seeing as Rocket has bought up pretty much
all the Pick players now, Rocket MVBasic is (if they are named products)
simply a newer version of the other.

Most communities seem to have consolidated here. There's a whole bunch
of similar products under the MV umbrella (like a bunch of stuff under
the relational umbrella), but seeing as it's a fairly small niche and
many of us have feet in several products, it makes sense all to be in
the one place. Advice for one product tends to apply to others too...
