- About 1 month ago when I called Lotus the lady said that AmiPro 3.0 for windows
- had been officially announced and would be out in late summer or early fall.
- She said a more exact date, I just can't remember. She also sent me a flyer.
-
- However, when asked about OS/2 she said that no official release date has
- been announced, but they were working on it for sometime in the fall hopefully.
- She said the upgrade from the windows versions would not be to much. They
- did not want to make it finacially prohibitive to go to OS?2 products.
