- Mike:
-
- Actually, even the Mac issue isn't set in stone. According to Marc
- Sokol in a discusson on that subject on our CompuServe forums, he
- mentioned that if the demand is there, we'll look real hard at going
- with Mac support. (Naturally if the demand isn't sufficient to
- justify the development effort, it won't happen, but that's just plain
- common business sense.)
-
- Also, anyone who wants to read about CA's plans for the future with
- regard to CA-Clipper, CA-dBFast, CA-Visual Objects for Clipper (known
- formerly under the code name "Aspen"), drop me a note with your
- USPS mailing address to 76703.3035@compuserve.com and I'll send a copy
- of the Statement of Direction.
