NETWARE 4.0 ENDORSED BY OVER 450 THIRD-PARTY DEVELOPERS
Over 600 Products to Run with Novell's Global Enterprise Solution
Washington, DC -- March 10, 1993 -- Over 450 companies representing more
than 600 products have endorsed NetWare 4.0, Novell Inc.'s next generation
operating system for global enterprise networking. NetWare 4.0 provides an
integration platform that lets customers connect their diverse computing
environments into a cohesive network computing system, making the network
easier to use, manage and administrate.
"Our customers are the beneficiaries of the strong endorsement
we are receiving from the developer community regarding the NetWare 4.0
platform," said Willie Tejada, director of Novell's Developer Relations.
"Customers wishing to upgrade can be assured that many of their favorite
products and applications are compatible with and will be enhanced by
the new services provided in the NetWare 4.0 operating system." NetWare
Directory Services, enhanced security, imaging, routing and wide area network
(WAN) improvements, and multiple language support are just some of the new
services and capabilities provided by the NetWare 4.0 platform. Tejada
commented, "NetWare 4.0 offers a robust set of network services that developers
can use to build the next generation of products for our customers' enterprise
computing needs."
To assist customers in determining which products will be available
for the NetWare 4.0 platform, Novell has compiled the NetWare 4.0
Resource Guide. This document provides product descriptions, lists the NetWare
services the developer plans to support in upcoming product releases, and
offers product and press contact information. The guide was distributed at
today's announcement of the NetWare 4.0 environment and will be available at
the Novell booth at InterOp Spring.
Novell also gave customers the opportunity to get a first hand look at
products integrated with the NetWare 4.0 platform during the announcement
activities. Over twenty key developers were showcased at personalized
demonstration stations.
These developers include: Beyond, Incorporated, Borland International,
Cheyenne Software, Inc., Compaq Computer Corp., DaVinci Systems Corp.,
Fluent,Inc., Gupta Corp., Hewlett-Packard, IBM Corp., Imagery Software, Inc.,
Intel Corp., Legato Systems, Inc., Lotus Development Corp., Microsoft Corp.,
NetFRAME Systems, Oracle Corp., Powersoft Corp., Reach Software Corp.,
Sybase,Inc., Symantec Corp., Wellfleet Communications, Inc., and
WordPerfect Corp.
Additionally, Novell showcased development partners at numerous other
InterOp announcement-related activities including a Yes, It Runs with NetWare
reception for resellers, key accounts and OEMs. This event featured the
products of 90 of Novell's development partners.
Developers' Programs and Services
The availability of two Software Developer's Kits (SDKs) for the
NetWare 4.0 platform three months prior to today's launch has aided the
NetWare 4.0 development effort. The NetWare Client SDK provides developers
with a single interface for writing DOS, Windows and OS/2 applications in the
NetWare 2.x, 3.x and 4.0 environments. The NLM SDK for NetWare 4.0 provides
developers with a toolkit for writing server-based applications known as NetWare
Loadable Modules (NLMs) which can directly access the new and enhanced services
of the NetWare 4.0 operating system.
Novell has also been working to simplify and enhance the
application development process by increasing the number and variety
of NetWare-enabled third-party development tools. Since the beginning
of 1993, seven new offerings, including C++ and FORTRAN compilers for
NLM development, and object oriented tools, have been announced.
These activities show Novell's commitment to the developer
community and to facilitating the creation of products customers
need to successfully expand their networks. Development-related
activities are managed by the Novell Professional Developers' Program,
which offers streamlined access to NetWare products and Novell
development tools, as well as a wide variety of developer-oriented
support services. The Yes, It Runs with NetWare Program is
another important service for developers giving them an easy way to
let customers know their products are compatible with NetWare. Call
Novell at 1-800-NETWARE (800-638-9273) or 801-429-5588 for more

with NetWare Program, or contact your local Novell office.
