UnixWare users should soon be getting upgrades from Novell Inc that provide for easier installation, bug fixes and Pentium support via a new compiler. The desktop version now includes the TCP/IP stack, Motif 1.2 and an MS-DOS and Windows emulation box. UnixWare 2.0, due next summer, will include symmetric multiprocessing and more NetWare integration, including support for NetWare Directory Services through a new release of NetWare Network File System which will pass NetWare Directory Services changes to UnixWare directories and update Directory Services with new UnixWare network information. By the time UnixWare 2.1 is around, in 1995, the operating system will have adopted NetWare Directory Services as its directory service. In addition, US reports say that Novell has handed over its remaining Open Systems Interconnection-based Unix products to Kirkland, Washington-based Firefox Inc, which already has responsibility for NetWare OSI products.
