It is a very solid beta, and the production dates are very near. it is a GREAT and unusual product combining the strengths of the Oracle Database Kernel,Oracle's networking capabilities, and a hypertalk interface which brings a whole new object-oriented approach to things.. At COMDEX, Oracle demo'd a MAC hypercard application accessing databases on the MAC, XENIX, vax VMS, and SUN. Support for 3270 and LU6.2 SQL*NET is also coming. ENOUGH. Since I work for Oracle, I don't want to sound like I'm advertising. Its a great product, I love it and will never go back to my COMPAQ MSDOS world. -Ben Linder Oracle Advanced Services email: blinder%oracle@hplabs.hp.com uucp : hplabs!oracle!blinder
