Cognos' future support for Interbase?

[Andre Guertin]

Hi,

As a supported client of InterBase both on Vax and On Alpha, I received in
november a letter from Cognos (Ed Shepherdson, Director, 4GL Products)
about the "Maturity of InterBase for OpenVMS" 

Here are some quotes :

"InterBase for OpenVMS version 3.3L3 is the final release of this product
from InterBase Software Corporation on OpenVMS VAX. There will be no
further releases, bug fixes, or enhancements."

"InterBase version 4.0 for OpenVMS versions 6.2 and 7.1 on Alpha is
currently being shipped, but no further versions are expected from
InterBase Software Corporation after that."

"Supported customers will continue to receive Telephone Support from Cognos
until their existing support contracts expire, and then Cognos will offer
free Telephone Support on InterBase for OpenVMS until December 31, 1999.
Telephone Support will be discontinued after December 31, 1999."

"PowerHouse 4GL on OpenVMS will continue to support the interface to
InterBase at the functionnal level offered in our fully certified and
supported Year 2000 compliant versions of PowerHouse 4GL for OpenVMS. These
are PowerHouse 4GL versions 7.10G and 8.10."
