Early bird catches worm: there are two programs already shipping for the still-unavailable Microsoft Windows NT-run Alpha AXP, Digital Equipment Corp says. One is SlickEdit, a programmer’s editor from MicroEdge. The other is Hamilton Seashell, a software tool from Hamilton Labs. DEC is planning to have AXP PC machines out with software developers before Microsoft puts NT into general release. Look for the hardware in March or April. Meanwhile, DEC is pulling together a central NT engineering – cum – marketing group under Jesse Lipcon and has picked Dennis Schneider, who rolled out DEC’s Desktop Direct programme, as director of marketing.
