FURTHERMORE, Lotus simply has a BAD attitude.
I heard that at the OLE Workshop at Seattle Lotus showed
a beta version of Notes that supports Object Linking
and Embedding.
The Lotus "REPS" (ha ha ha) went about "preaching" that
Lotus supports OLE technology and that customers and
developers should support Microsofts efforts.
Great! Thanks Alex (of LDC), Hey I simply was not
even considering OLE until you opened my eyes.
They also dodged questions about the functionality of
Notes - including "please explain your choice of a
replicated database" (they claim it is a replicated
distributed databases using e-mail). The justification
for not reponding was that it did not relate to OLE.
I suppose when Network Extensions come out for Windows
Lotus will be "opening" developers eyes again by
asking us to support distributed object management - BUT
that is not related at all to OLE is it.
Anyway, just thought I would feed to response to Lotus
Notes. They really get on my nerves.
