464.0. "Lotus 1-2-3 for VAX/VMS with RDB Support!" by TROA01::NAISH (RDB4ME Paul Naish DTN 631-3352) Fri Oct 20 1989 18:44

    I just received a Digital press release, parts of which I have listed
    below. Does anyone else have more details?
    
    
"TORONTO, October 10, 1989 ... Lotus Development Canada Limited has announced
the development of 1-2-3 for VAX/VMS ... The software was demonstrated today
at Info '89 in New York."

"Based on 1-2-3 Release 3 technology ..."

"The product will be tightly integrated with Digital's ALL-IN-1 integrated 
office system, and will support Digital's services for Network Application
Support (NAS), including DECwindows, VAX/SQL Services and Compound
Document Architecture. Through Lotus's new Datalens technology, designed to
provide access to external data from directly within Lotus applications, 
1-2-3 users will be able to easily integrate data through VAX/SQL Services
from the native RDB/VMS relational database system and other databases into
their spreadsheets."
