Powerhouse Web

[Deskin, Bob]

PowerHouse Web is currently available for Windows NT, HP-UX, and OpenVMS
(VAX and Alpha). It is in field test for MPE/iX.

PowerHouse Web is a deployment option for PowerHouse 4GL. It is new
technology just like PowerHouse Client and Axiant. QDESIGN is used to
generate screens and HTML Templates which are used to generate the actual
page that the user sees.

The current PowerHouse Web versions are 2.2xD (where the x represents the
platform in the same manner as PowerHouse). The corresponding version of
PowerHouse is 8.2xD. Note that the only new features in PowerHouse 8.2xD is
support for PowerHouse Web, so PowerHouse 8.2xD is not currently a general
release.

Full information including the PowerHouse Web Guide can be found on our web
site at www.cognos.com/phweb.

As for pricing, I've stated our policy before. You'll have to contact your
Cognos office or sales rep.
