584.0. "FOCUS and VMS V6.1" by CIM2NI::VANDERAA (Jim VanDerAa TAY2-1/h15 227-3277) Wed Jul 27 1994 14:38

    It's been 7 months since the question was asked:
    
    Does FOCUS work on VMS V6.1?  If so what version
    of FOCUS?
    
    Hi,
    I work in the CIM group in HLO. Our customers (FAB4) uses
    FOCUS for a lot of their reporting needs. We are going
    to upgrade our systems to VMS V6.1  Has anyone that's running
    FOCUS, upgraded to VMS V6.1?
    
    
    Thanks,
    Jim VanDerAa.

	Did you try phoning IBI down in Burlington, MA? Maybe their phone support people could help you out. I'm assuming that their product is upward compatible with our VMS versions but ask them. Just a thought, Lisa Irish
584.2	Great Idea.	CIM2NI::VANDERAA	Jim VanDerAa TAY2-1/h15 227-3277	`Fri Aug 05 1994 10:55`	7
	Great Idea. Thanks, Of course noone around here knows the number. Shows how long we had a FOCUS issue.... Thanks again, Jim V.

	Well, I know that IBI is in Burlington, MA - if they can't help you then they most likely can give you the number for support issues - actually the people there are pretty knowledgable overall (I know some of the people that work out of the Burlington office) - they may be able to tell you right over the phone - if the same receptionist is there that I last met, then she may even be able to help...

	I'm having problems with FOCUS and VMS 6.1 - FOCUS 6.1.A Focus is crashing with an internal error (%FOCUS-F-INTERROR, FOCUS internal error) Anyone got a later kit I can try out?? David

	Date: 06-Sep-1994 15:19BST From: COYLE COYLE@PLOP@PICA@MRGATE@ZKOMTS Dept: Tel No: Doc No: 018653 TO: OTTEN_D@A1SHIPS@SHIPS@RDGMTS Subject: RE: (Q) - FOCUS and VMS 6.1 I just spoke with Susan at IBI in New York who said that they have not completed their certification testing of FOCUS on VMS 6.1 They expect to complete this QA testing sometime within the next 2-3 weeks ...but she could not give a timeframe for "actual certification" as it will depend on how many (if any) errors are encountered and need to be fixed.....Her recommendation is that if you are running "critical" application(s)...that you hold off on migrating FOCUS to 6.1 for a while.....If you are just planning ahead and would like to run it in a test environment....you can pull a copy of FOCUS 6.5.3......
584.6		SXYEXE::OTTEN	David Otten @SBP - 782-2675 ASG Solent	`Tue Sep 13 1994 07:56`	4
	I installed 6.5.1 - No problems with this release.. David
584.7	IBI'll know by Oct 28!	MBALDY::LANGSTON	our middle name is 'Equipment'	`Mon Sep 19 1994 15:59`	11
	I spoke to Ben at IBI last week. He spoke to Susan Trommer and she said the new date by which they will know whether there are any issues is October 28! Maybe someone who knows the right people (IBI / Digital "relationship" people) can call them and find out what we can do to "help." My customer needs to upgrade a bunch of 7600s to 7700s and needs VMS 6.1 to do that. Bruce
