5284.0. "Continuing support for MCC on Ultrix?" by OSLACT::BJORN (Bj�rn Olav Haugom) Wed Jun 30 1993 10:50

I have a question concerning the future of DECmcc for Utltrix.

When MCC for OSF/1 is available, will we still support MCC for Ultrix, and if
we do, for how long and what type of support.

Alcatel, who is OEM'ing MCC in their NMC product is concerned about our
cut-offs in different development projects on the Ultrix platform. They want to
know what happens with their existing Ultrix-customers, when we move to OSF/1.
Some of their prospects are waiting for the OSF/1 release, for the rumours of
not getting continuously support on Ultrix.

5284.1Ultrix support will continueDELNI::FERREIRAThu Jul 01 1993 11:4513
Basically, there will be limited new releases on Ultrix.

Support, however, for Mcc (POLYCENTER FRAMEWORK/200) on Ultrix will 
continue after the availability of the POLYCENTER products on Alpha OSF/1, 
just as for support for older versions after new versions are released.

We intend to offer aggressive license upgrades to AOSF/1 IF they've
already purchased POLYCENTER Framework/200 on Ultrix.  Plans won't be 
published for serveral months from now, however - so don't send mail - I'll 
post it here once it's been finalized.
