3511.1DECforms will be provided on DECwindows.IO::MCCARTNEYJames T. McCartney III - DTN 381-2244 ZK02-2/N24Wed Oct 24 1990 02:5721
    What we've been telling customers:    
    
    The  DECforms group is committed  to  developing  a  native  DECwindows
    layout in the DECforms product.   This layout would allow the IFDL form
    designer the ability to produce forms which  take  advantage of many of
    the  DECwindows  and  OSF/Motif  toolkit  artifacts in addtion  to  the
    already  existing  extensive  field  validation  and  dialog management
    features of  DECforms.    Access  to these capabilites would be via the
    same application programming  interface provided for the character cell
    DECforms product shipping today.
    
    We  currently  are  in the final states of specifying  the  capabilites
    which will eventually be included in this DECforms support, but  do not
    yet have schedules which  we  can  publish to customers.
    
    Additionally, many of these capabilities  have been proposed by Digital
    to the ISO/ANS FIMS committee for inclusion into the FIMS standard.
