| We're all just going to have to hang tough until it ships. There is no
other solution, short of recoding eXcursion's socket code.

(Who also must talk with customers on the subject and who hopes that the
good explanation in the release notes will help calm them down. ;-)

Current info is:
Soon... hopefully before the end of the quarter.
That is from development @ Microsoft. So yes, we are still waiting on
Microsoft for final bits. The good news is that it appears the current
"final" components are functional with PW32 with no changes...

| Jeff, et al, feel free to say "don't do that" but I thought I'd ask
just the same.
Given that a PATHWORKS 32 customer has beta16.zip, what's required
from that zip to make PATHWORKS 32 Winsock 2 bit work? I recall that
early on in the Hummingbird development, there was a rather ugly
installation procedure for the Winsock 2 installation. Can this be
made to work?

| i'll be one of the 'et all' and say
don't do that!!
there is no clean way from Microsoft to de-install deta16.

Sure there is ,... FORMAT the hard disk!
Seriously, that is damn near the only way to un-install beta16.

| 150.8 | No use for DECnet on a PC | STAR::JACOBI | Paul A. Jacobi - OpenVMS Development | Fri Mar 14 1997 11:28 | 9 |

Why run eXcursion over DECnet? It runs just fine over TCP/IP!
The most popular PC network application is Netscape, which runs over
TCP/IP. Why use DECnet when TCP/IP is all you really need on a PC?

| Why DECnet?
I talk to a fair number of customers who are VMS/DECnet only shops.
They're still out there. Some are simply frightened of TCP/IP. Some
don't want or need to invest the money to buy UCX or equivalent. Some
don't want to invest the time in setting up and administering another
protocol. Some have legacy applications that depend upon DECnet.
Those who have no plans to hook up to the internet have no compelling
reason to switch to TCP/IP.
I'm not DECnet's biggest fan, but I know there are still users out
there. (I also know that eXcursion's lack of DECnet support on Win95
has angered some, and has driven others to adopt TCP/IP sooner than
they'd planned.)

| 150.10 | how will it be distributed?? | VMSNET::M_SMITH | | Wed Mar 26 1997 16:53 | 5 |
| When the winsock2 kit is ready, how will it be distributed to DEC PW 32
customers?
