Does anybody out there know about Open Dialog for "other", ie. non-Apollo systems. Specifically, we are interested in a version for DEC DECstations running Ultrix, VAXstations running VMS 5.1, and Silicon Graphics systems run- ning whatever their flavor of Unix is. Assuming that at least one of the above is available, where the hell can we order it? Our local sales people seem to be having their brains sucked out by the giant HP machine. Along the same line, our hardware and software service contract seems to have vanished into the abyss in Chelmsford -- the local administrator sent it on two months ago, and the 800 number still won't talk to me. I can't get patch tapes, and I am probably missing the SR10.2 shipment. I'm getting pretty pissed off! -Chris Christopher E.

The stuff we've committed to replication for V2.0 is for * Apollo m68k and Prism machines * Sun 3 and Sun 4 machines * Source You'll be able to order this in early January. We're currently testing a port to the HP-UX 9000-3xx series, and it's looking pretty good for February...(famous last words? :-) We have source-code customers doing ports to VMS, VAX/Ultrix, and SGI. I believe the VMS and VAX/Ultrix ports are straightforward, but the SGI port ran into a couple of snags related to C++ language processor incompatibilities. We wanted to do the VAX ports ourselves, but we couldn't find a beta site. Is anybody interested? (Ditto for DEC/PMAX)? We'd like to hear from you. >Assuming that at least one of the above is available, where the hell can we >order it?
