IBM DROPPING DEVELOPMENT OF DOMINO, NETWARE, OS/2 ON IPCS
http://www.news400.com/redir/redirDB.cfm?ID=305
IBM is dropping new development of Domino, NetWare, and OS/2 WarpServer
on the IPCS, leaving V4R3 as the last release of OS/400 to support these
products. IBM will continue to support the products until January 31,
2001, however. IBM says it will focus
new IPCS development on NT on the IPCS, with a goal to get new NT
releases, such the upcoming release of NT 5.0, ready for the IPCS within
30 days of the official Microsoft ship date. (Domino is available
natively on the AS/400 for V4R2 and higher, which is why IBM is pulling
the plug on developing Domino on the IPCS.)

I think this really BLOWS as far as Netware goes - does IBM realize that
by doing this, they are perception-wise putting another nail (even
though they thankfully keep popping out...) in Novells coffin ???? !!!
Or is no one using this ?
