STATUS OF VAX OPS5 V3.0
September 2, 1988
======================================================================
On July 27th, I sent a notice to my OPS5_TEAM and OPS5_INTEREST distribution
lists outlining the impact of AITG's budget situation on the VAX OPS5 V3.0
product under development. I am very pleased to announce that the project
is "off-hold" and that development work will continue on this important
version of VAX OPS5.
V3.0 development will be completed by the Advanced Systems & Tools group
in ISTG. The group includes expertise in VAX OPS5, DECwindows and delivering
corporate products. Product management and engineering management will reside
in AITG which is co-located with ISTG in the AI Technology Center. We don't
expect any major schedule revision.
Many thanks to all who provided support in the effort to resume work on
V3.0. And many thanks, again, to the Valbonne team for their dedication
and commitment to a high level of quality in their efforts to bring
this DECwindows-based development environment to fruition. You can look
forward to receiving additional V3.0 project status, at a minimum through
monthly VAX OPS5 product status reports.
We have a strong message around the breadth of AI products and services
offered by Digital, and product management looks forward to resuming
nondisclosure discussions on VAX OPS5 V3.0 to qualified customers.
Regards,
Sandy Mills
VAX OPS5 Product Manager
