109.0. "Licencing questions OTL .vs. 5LW" by EVTAI1::ROUX_P (Software Mktg France) Mon Feb 03 1997 12:32

    My reading of the Sales Update article entitled "DIGITAL PATHWORKS Business
    Practice Changes" raises a few questions I suppose other people ask
    themselves :
    - for an existing 16-bit PC customer (ie Win 3.1 or 3.11), does a
      customer order a "new" QP-5LWAA instead of the traditional QM-0TLAA ?
    - if the licence of PWKS-32 grants a non-32 bit PC user, will the
      QA-0TLAA-H8 (ie the 16-bit binary Cd-ROM) be available for a
      foreseable future ?
    - will the QM-0TLAA disappear ?
    
    Best regards
    Philippe
