Peter Mountain, former president and one of the original founding members of UniForum South Africa, has joined Enhanced Software Technologies (EST). EST, a privately held firm located in Tempe, AZ, is the home of BRU, a backup and restore utility for Unix/Xenix and Linux systems.
Mountain has been involved with Unix software development and promotion since 1985.

This prestigious award is presented by the members of UniForum to the individual who contributes most to the advancement of Unix in the country.
"We are excited to have Peter join our team," said Ted Cook, President of EST. "Peter's experience with the Unix operating system is quite extensive. We expect this experience will allow him to contribute in a valuable manner to EST on both a technical and business-development level."
