- Are you aware of the announcements made by Intergraph at Autofact in November?
-
- There Intergraph announced porting NT to the Clipper Platform as well
- as porting MDEM products (including I/EMS) to the DEC Alpha running NT.
-
- Also, all of Intergraph's engineering and mapping GIS software will
- be ported to Windows NT, including, of course, MicroStation.
