Novell Inc has released version 1.1 of UnixWare, which it has now integrated more tightly with NetWare. UnixWare 1.1 also incorporates Advanced Merge for Windows in both the Personal Edition and Application Server versions, which enables Windows applications – including those written for NetWare – to run on top of it. It accesses NetWare services through NetWare 4.X servers. Both versions additionally come bundled with TCP/IP support for Point-to-Point Protocol, the SLIP Serial Line Internet Protocol and Simple Network Management Protocol, enabling remote node dial-ins to look like native clients. Network administrators can see both NetWare and UnixWare nodes on a single display and manage the UnixWare system from a central site. UnixWare 1.1 also includes a European Language Supplement to facilitate internationalisation and localisation, and supports OSF/Motif 1.2 run-time libraries. Further enhancements include support for Adaptec Inc and Future Domain Inc SCSI adaptors; 3Com Corp and Eagle Technology Inc NE Ethernet adaptor boards; source routing for IBM Corp’s Token Ring; and video support for Compaq Computer Corp’s Q-Vision. Online Data Manager, a high availability file system, manages files and disks on-line. UnixWare 1.1 will be available through Novell Gold, Platinum and Unix Master resellers.
