Can anyone confirm/deniy this? I have heard this floating around all over
the place. But no authoritative statements or even an inside voice. Maybe
some of the IBM'ers that read this group can give us a hint without making
an official statement? My company is putting a lot of resources into
learning AIX for the purpose of supporting "future" buisness. And if this
is a dead end alley on the PS/2 platforms for god's sake tell us. We have
worked with SCO since before time so we don't have a problem there. But I
am paying people to learn this thing as I type. :-( If it's a dead end
we're gonna be stung.
BTW, I talked to a IBM AIX Tech durring a "Hot call" about a week ago and
he said that AIX 1.3 would be out in about a month? He said the current
"update (26 damm disks)" was getting out of hand and that they would be
going to a new release level. (He thought it would be 1.3 but it might
be the rumored 1.2.2)
BTW, if anyone want's to e-mail me a note with more authority I won't
say a word if you don't want me to. Or even better I'll mention the
rumor from another voice if you're okay with it.. :-)
Thanks in advance,
Karl
