DEVCON for LAN Systems!!!


This is a brief snapshot of our planned Developer Connection for LAN
Systems and a questionnaire for customer feedback.

PSP LAN Systems develops products that provide network operating
system services (such as file, print, transaction, security and
directory) for multiple operating systems (OS/2, DOS, Windows and
AIX). Today, these products include OS/2 LAN Server, LAN Server
Ultimedia, LAN Server for Macintosh, DOS LAN Requester, LAN
Distance, Network Transport Services/2, LAN Netview, OS/2 and
Windows DCE Run-time Client, AIX DCE, and AIX Encina. In addition,
there are complementary products that extend the system's
functionality such as Communication Manager/2, Database/2 for OS/2,
NetSP, CICS and Distributed System Object Model. PSP LAN Systems
has identified an API (or development tools) strategy that provides
an application development environment with industry standard APIs
for application portability and object frameworks to assist
developers with code reuse.

To help communicate the API strategy and identify the current
inventory of LAN Systems API to you, we will deliver a Developer
Connection CD-ROM for LAN Systems (See Note 1). This CD-ROM is a
cross-platform offering that will support the installation of
products and information to OS/2, Windows, DOS, and AIX
workstations. It provides the programming environment required for
client/server and distributed computing application development.
The CD-ROM will contain the following:

- LAN Systems Toolkit
- Header files, library files, sample programs and documentation
for all current products and those products in beta. (See Note 2)
- API Roadmap Document that provides a detailed description
of each API category and the future of the API. For example,
the roadmap will identify if the API is the standard or how
it will be mapped to the standard in the future.
- IBM SOMobjects Base Toolkit
- LAN Systems Product Betas
- Other Resource Manager APIs
- Technical pubs and white papers
- Product demos
- Third-party application development tools

Notes: 1) The Developer Connection is a subscription program
that offers the latest and the best in development
information from IBM development teams. Currently
LAN Systems participates in Developer Connection
(DEVCON) for OS/2.
2) Some of the APIs in the LAN Systems toolkit are available
with their shrink-wrap product offering. DEVCON will become
the vehicle to deliver the consolidated API and
toolkit information for LAN Systems products.
