- They don't exist in releases beyond 6.04. At a marketing 'seminar' last
- week the regional marketing manager announced that SI has decided to offer
- a SAS/ACCESS product for popular PC file structures(dbf, dif, etc.) under
- OS/2. In response to a question, she said that no decision had been made
- on Windows 3.1.
-
- It occures to me that with SAS/TOOLKIT third parties could meet the need
- and sell it independently of SI. Wow, competition in SAS Software!!!
