On page 10 of the October 8th issue of PC Week it mentions that SUN
and Walker, Richer & Quinn revealed a kjoint development pact.

WRQ will work with SUN to customize Reflection for PC-NFS .

Over 20% of the 400,000 PC-NFS users want something beyond VT100 and
advanced features like multiple host sessions, hot key between sessions,
color graphics support, and built-in file transfer.

The two companies will also explore integrating the two product lines
such as E-mail and common user interfaces.
WRQ plans to release a Windows 3.X version in 1991.

Officials from both companies declined a time frame for the new
products.
The developmrent agreement is scheduled to plan 3 years.

--------
I like the idea of this. If PC-NFS will include a VT220 emulator and
higher and I have to pay a little more to get it, that is fine with me.
Building a series of products around PC-NFS (in addition to the existing
Lifeline) is a great idea. I welcome addirional comments from Sun or WRQ
on this. (Would be glad to beta)
