Let me take this one.
=20
We want everyone to try PowerHouse Web. We think that anyone who wants =
to do
data-driven web applications will love it. If anyone wants a 6 month =
trial,
we can arrange that.
=20
As for the offer of "free software" it applies to supported customers =
of
PowerHouse on a platform that supports PowerHouse Web. Why? Because you =
need
PowerHouse (QDESIGN and PDL/PHD) in order to create screens/pages for
PowerHouse Web to run. So our offer was directed at supported customers =
on
MPE/iX, OpenVMS Alpha, UNIX (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris), and Windows =
NT/2000/XP.
PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web 8.4D will be shipping on those =
platforms
in early April.
=20
For AS/400 customers, if you'd like to try PowerHouse Web, pick a =
platform
where it's supported and let us know (call Bob Berry). I'm sure we can =
work
something out.
=20
PS My original reply may come through as well. It's pending because it =
was
too big. I've deleted some of the thread.

Bob Berry,
=20
Just checking:  Does "all supported customers" in this context (6 month
trial) include those on the AS/400?

Thanks.
