273.0. "Non DIGITAL ES Shells." by YIPPEE::FITZGIBBON (Joe Fitzgibbon VB/EIC) Mon Feb 04 1991 15:57

	The following entries to this topic are intended to identify which 
NON-DIGITAL ES Shells are available on the  market; their basic features,
platforms supported, etc... The details have been extracted from Product
descriptions distributed by the Tool manufacturer, or from Product announcement
items in the trade journals. 

	Any comments/information you wish to contribute are welcome.

	N.B. This exercise is NOT intended to identify any 
	     "Preferred/recommended" tool, nor does it lay 
	     any claim to being an objective evaluation. It 
	     is simply a survey of what appears to be available.

	     I am in the process of accumulating further details
	     (including distributors) in a Notes conference on my 
	     VS, which I will make generally available if there is 
	     a real interest.

	     Licence prices are approximate only.

	     "?" indicates missing or uncertain information.

Joe.
