Data General Corp’s AViiON Unix systems are claimed to be the first Unix systems to use Action Technologies Inc’s Message Handling Service. The systems have can now act as NetWare servers by complementing native NetWare servers, and provide both Message Handling Services and commercial Unix applications in the one environment. Message Handling for AViiON provides electronic mail service for Data General’s AV Object Office, and Office users will be able to use messaging services as well as other data management services. This implementation has been certified by Novell Inc for compliance with the Message Handling standard so that applications can communicate between different environments.
