I am told by Lotus that the server and nodes are now shipping (01/09/90). But, people here who have bought Quattro and used it think it is a much, much better product. Price is right for educational institutions. Bruce Riddle Metropolitan Studies Program Syracuse University

For my two cents worth, I agree that Borlands Quattro, is a far superior product than Lotus 123. One note to be careful of is when printing graphics. Lotus does all the work then sends the image to the printer, so any timeout is ok. Quattro, however, sends the graphics a bit at a time as it generates it. If you are using TI=xx make sure the time is sufficiently high else you bet banners and page breaks in the middle of a graphic print. Doesn't look great. I have found that a 45 second timeout prevented the spooler from closing before the next bit of graph came along. Tim <Tim_Munro@carleton.ca> Fax:(613) 788-4448 Voice:(613) 788-3722
