Not the TCP/IP NLM no. A couple of weeks ago we did unleash NetWare NFS 1.2
upon the world.

Nope. NetWare NFS 1.2 doesn't do this.

Now this is one of the things we've done. The LPD/LPR print support is
now fully bidirectional.  UNIX systems can spool print jobs to NetWare
printers and DOS/Windows, OS/2 and Macintosh NetWare clients can spool
print jobs to printers that are physically plugged into UNIX machines. For
Macs to be able to do this you need NetWare for Macintosh installed too.

>My question is what the upgrade policy is going to be?

I attach a short blurb on the 1.2 product. Its actually the PR announcement but
we did keep it nice and factual this time around so it shouldn't offend
those who have a bee in their Y-Fronts about the net being kept free
of marketing drivel. It also saves me from having to type a new set of
words about it. In addition to the upgrade described in the blurb there
is a free upgrade deal for those who purchased the product within the
30 days prior to the announcement (which was the same day as first customer
ship).

Enjoy,
Keith

Novell INTRODUCES NEW VERSION OF NETWARE NFS

New Features Boost UNIX-to-NetWare Interoperability

Overview: Novell announces a new version of NetWare NFS, the first and 
only integration solution between native UNIX environments and native 
NetWare operating system environments.

NetWare NFS is a set of NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) for NetWare 
v3.11.  It provides UNIX users with Network File System service in 
addition to the benefits of NetWare, and supports all popular 
versions of UNIX available today.

The new product will be demonstrated for the first time January 22-24 
at UniForum in San Francisco (booth #2535). 

Features: The new NetWare NFS v1.2 features include:

~ A bi-directional print gateway that now allows NetWare users to print 
  to UNIX printers as well as allowing UNIX users to print to NetWare 
  printers.

~ An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) gateway that allows FTP client systems 
  to access files on any NetWare server on the network, including those 
  that do not support TCP/IP services.

~ An X Window application called X Console that can be used to access 
  the NetWare v3.11 graphical user interface adminstration utilities 
  such as MONITOR, TCPCON and NFS ADMIN.

~ Three options for controlling the way UNIX and NetWare file system 
  semantics interact to make true cross-platform computing easier and 
  more flexible.

Availability: NetWare NFS v1.2 is available now and can be purchased 
              from certified Novell Gold and Platinum resellers.  

Pricing:      $4995 per single copy, or $14,995 for a five-pack 
              (buy three, get two free).  Customers can purchase 
              upgrades from NetWare NFS v1.1 to v1.2 for $750 until 
              July 31, 1992.
