230.0. "Lotus and Digital UNIX" by ACISS2::DATZMAN (Vee Vont To Pomp You Up) Mon Apr 14 1997 13:19

    A customer informed me that the reason ther was no Digital UNIX cleint
    for Notes was that Digital pulled a resource allocated to Lotus for
    doing the port. 
    
    What is the story here?  I am assuming that if we had a resource
    helping Lotus port to DEC UNIX and we pulled the resource we would have
    good reason for doing so.
    
    Are there any plans to provide Lotus Notes server or client support on
    Digital UNIX?
    
    Thanks,

Digital and Lotus made a mutual decision not to bring to market the
Digital Unix port of Notes, and formalized the agreement during the
fall with a new contract focused exclusively on WNT.  This decision 
was based on where the groupware market for Notes was going, the
incremental Unix revenue -vs- cost of maintaining the Notes/Unix product 
over time, and the fact that the reference/development platform is WNT.

There is no plan to continue with the Digital Unix port of Notes/Domino.
