Hi
        I have a customer (3.5K licenses) would like to know if v1.1c will
be certified for NT4. Is v1.1b Certified? I know it works but this is a
goverment
department and they like it by the book.
  Also any clues to when 1.1c is to be released would be appreicated?

Regards

We are pleased to announce the availability of:

Digital DCE Runtime Services V1.1C for Windows NT
Digital DCE Application Developer's Kit V1.1C for Windows NT
Digital DCE Cell Directory Server V1.1C for Windows NT
Digital DCE Security Server V1.1C for Windows NT

Version 1.1C of DCE for Windows NT is based entirely on the OSF DCE 
Release 1.0.3 code base, including the OSF DCE RPC runtime.  Earlier 
versions of the product (Versions 1.1, 1.1A, and 1.1B)  were layered on 
top of the Microsoft RPC runtime. This is no longer the case for 
Version 1.1C.  However, most applications built with previous versions 
should continue to run unmodified on V1.1C.

DCE for Windows NT Version 1.1C includes the DCE Security and Cell 
Directory Service (CDS) servers required to allow you to create complete 
DCE cells based on Windows NT systems.   Earlier versions (1.1, 1.1A, 
and 1.1B) of the  Security and CDS  Server kits will not work on systems 
with Version 1.1C Runtime Kit.

The DCE for Windows NT Version 1.1C product also provides several Digital 
value-added features complementing the standard OSF DCE R1.0.3 services, 
including:

	- DCEsetup, a Windows-based DCE cell configuration utility

	- DCE Director, a Windows-based DCE management tool

	- Visual ACL Editor, a Windows-based ACL management tool

	- Remote DCE Client Configuration

	- Integration between Windows NT Login and the dce_login facility

	- C++ extensions to the IDL compiler and runtime

	- Name Service Interface Daemon  (NSID)

	- Generic Security Service API (GSSAPI)

	- RPC Event Logger Utility

	- DTS Time Provider executables
