The following are the planned new releases for CY1997 for the POLYCENTER
products DIGITAL sold to Computer Associates.  With one exception, these
products will be available through DIGITAL at the time of their release.  All
of these releases will be manufactured by CA, so there will be packaging

will keep you informed on this notefile.

    Excuse me, isn't e.g. 
    
    * AssetWORKS Enterprise Client V3.0
    
    the one and only and current existing release we sold to CA? Likewise
    the PC client 3.0, and the "server" 3.0? (all in the same package).
    
941.2ZEKE::BURTONJim Burton, DTN 381-6470Fri Jan 31 1997 06:456
From what I understand V3.0 never got released by Digital.  It was planned
for release last year, but ended up being delayed numerous times.  I'm
reasonably sure the V2.0 release is what is out now.  Someone correct me it
I'm wrong.

941.3Still one product, multiple licencesESSB::RJOYCEFri Jan 31 1997 10:2211
    From what I understand, the Digital AssetWORKS V3.0 product was never 
    generally (officially) available. So the current release is still V2.0. 
    We have been waiting since almost last June for a new release, V2.1 did 
    not happen and Dec's V3.0 got held up for many reasons. The CA V3.0 (or 
    V3.0a as it says in the Release Notes on their new CD) release is as Jim 
    mentioned further delayed, CA are now doing the manufacturing. 
    
    CA's POLYCENTER AssetWORKS will still be delivered as I understand in
    one CD. The licences are purchased as before as part numbers.

    Ok... I was a bit confused by .0 (but I'm often confused... ;-)
