Carol Miner just spoke at our User Group meeting on Setp 17th and she
told us that a new beta was due december 1998 time frame. This is a new
32bit client. She mentioned that it requires V4R2 or higher. If you have
any CISC boxes, you can't go to this version, because you won't be able
to use it. Also, you can't have your current CA/400 and this new one on
the same PC since they share many of the same programs. This is a
problem for us consultants who have a CISC and RISC machines to support
our client base.
