  15.                     Time and Place Connectivity/2 Version 1.3 allows users      
  16.              to perform interactive, bidirectional view, free-time search,      
  17.              and calendar update operations in the following environments:      
  18.              o   LAN:  Time and Place/2                                         
  19.              o   Host:  OfficeVision/VM, PROFS, OfficeVision/MVS, and

  21.                     New Enhancements                                            
  22.              o   Support to connect remote Time and Place/2 2.0 systems         
  23.                  using APPC over an SNA network                                 
  24.              o   APPC and RSCS connectivity to the OfficeVision/VM host         
  25.                  calendar environment

  29.                  Time and Place (TM) Connectivity/2 Version 1.3 is a LAN-based, 
  30.           bidirectional calendar connectivity program that now offers           
  31.           connectivity to OfficeVision/400 (TM).                                
  32.                  This System Application Architecture (SAA (R)), OS/2 (R)       
  33.           32-bit program allows users of the IBM Time and Place/2 2.0 time      
  34.           management product -- plus OfficeVision/VM (TM) 1.2, OfficeVision/MVS 
  35.           (TM) 1.2, OfficeVision/400 3.1, and PROFS (R) 2.2.3 -- to perform     
  36.           interactive, bidirectional view, free-time search, and calendar       
  37.           update operations in LAN and host environments.                       
  38.                  Time and Place Connectivity/2 1.3 provides the ability to      
  39.           connect the Time and Place/2, OfficeVision/VM, OfficeVision/MVS,      
  40.           OfficeVision/400, and PROFS calendars in an "any-to-any" fashion.     
  41.           For example, by installing and configuring Time and Place             
  42.           Connectivity/2 1.3, calendar interoperability occurs as follows:      
  43.           o   A Time and Place/2 user can interact with the calendars of        
  44.               OfficeVision/VM, PROFS, OfficeVision/MVS, and OfficeVision/400    
  45.               calendar users.                                                   
  46.           o   A PROFS or OfficeVision/VM user can interact with the calendars   
  47.               of Time and Place/2, OfficeVision/MVS, and OfficeVision/400       
  48.               calendar users.                                                   
  49.           o   An OfficeVision/MVS user can interact with the calendars of Time  
  50.               and Place/2, PROFS, OfficeVision/VM, and OfficeVision/400         
  51.               calendar users.                                                   
  52.           o   An OfficeVision/400 user can interact with the calendars of Time  
  53.               and Place/2, PROFS, OfficeVision/VM, and OfficeVision/MVS         
  54.               calendar users.                                                   
  55.                  In each case, calendar users see remote calendar information   
  56.           in the user interface they are accustomed to.                         
  57.                  Additional Time and Place Connectivity/2 1.3 features include: 
  58.           o   Support to connect remote Time and Place/2 2.0 systems using APPC
