Following Unix System Laboratories Inc’s System V.4.2 US bonanza two weeks ago, the European launch of the product was a more subdued affair – just a smattering of Unix Labs and Novell Inc officials graced a podium at the Networks ’92 show for a briefing by Univel Inc on its UnixWare derivation with added networking. Out in September, UnixWare will include Novell’s Message Handling System electronic mail gateway and transparent access to NetWare 2.X and 3.X implementations. Univel will announce distributors on July 14 – OEM agreements for the thing are still under wraps. A European distribution strategy is still being put together according to Univel’s international marketing director, Greg Fallon, though existing Novell distributors and resellers will get first refusal. Maintenance and support services is to be handled by Novell’s existing support centres.
