Antares Alliance Group, the Amdahl Corp -EDS Corp venture, plans to introduce its Edge Web development products this month. With its built-in ActiveX object library and scripting engine, Antares says Edge will simplify the development of Web-based applications. Edge will connect with Object Linking and Embedding and Open Database Connectivity-compliant databases and features a dynamic, scaleable object-oriented execution engine. Edge personal edition will be released in beta this month and ships in January, for about $300. Silver and Gold versions, for up to five and 100 developers, respectively will be available in March for $1,000 and $2,000 and an enterprise version is expected in June 1997. The company says so far the Edge product group has kept itself separate from Antares’ ObjectStar mainframe software group, but the two products should be compatible somewhere down the line.
