I have been told by my local IBM rep that NeXTStep is currently available
only on the RS6000 machines running AIX. I was under the impression that
it might also be available on the PS/2s. What is the real scoop on
NeXTStep wrt to mahines and operating systems?

NextStep has been announced on both the PS/2 and the RiscSystem 6000 hardware. The availability date for the PS/2 has passed and the 6000 version was announced with availibility this month. Keep in touch with your IBM marketing representative about announcements regarding availibility of the NextStep product, but insist that he/she have or show you published information and not their opinions. There's good stuff coming as promised; it just isn't here today as you were led to believe. ________________________________________________________________________ ________ Ken Dillman | IBM | Phone: (512) 838-4804 AIX Porting Center| 11400 Burnet Road| VNET/PROFS: KDILLMAN at AUSTIN Zip 2830 | Austin, TX 78754| Internet: kdillman@austin.iinus1.ibm.com

Ask your friendly neighborhood IBM salesman for a product announcement and ordering information. What I heard (rumor?) was that NeXTStep would be under AIX on PS/2 Models 70 and 80 with the expensive color monitor on September 28. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walter C.
