I have to wonder about DEC's commitment to Ultrix when they do things like this. Also, how about RBMS (Remote Bridge Management System), TSM (Terminal Server Manager), and LTM (Lan Traffic Monitor). As much as I dislike having to work with VMS, I'm glad that I have access to a VMS node on our network so that I can run these programs. To mention some others, DECwrite is being made available under Ultrix, but what about DECdecisions and the other new software that DEC is touting for DECWindows? How about it DEC? -- Dave White Grass Valley Group, Inc. PHONE: +1 916.478.3052 P.O. Box 1114 Grass Valley, CA 95945 davew@gvgpsa.gvg.tek.com
