Third Party Products Testing Update (January 13-26, 1991)

In our efforts to keep you as informed as possible on the status of
current testing projects, we have compiled this report which
provides information on compatibility issues with LANtastic and
third party products. This report contains information only on
current projects. If you are having problems with a product running
on LANtastic, please contact our Technical Support staff at (602)
293-6363.  A current compatibility list and detailed technical
bulletins on various third party products are available through our
BBS at (602) 293-0065 and through our Artisoft Fax System at (602)
293-1397.  If you have any comments or suggestions about this
update, the compatibility list or technical bulletins, they may be
forwarded to: Artisoft, 575 E. River Road, Tucson AZ 85704, ATTN:
Compatibility. Thank you.

Ashton-Tate's dBASE IV 1.1 - We have been working with Ashton Tate 
to resolve reported printing problems with dBASE IV 1.1; the process 
should be completed shortly and we hope to be listed as a supported 
network by Ashton Tate by the end of this month.  At that time a 
detailed technical bulletin should be available.
 
Digital Research DR DOS 5.0 - We have been working with Digital 
Research to resolve reported problems with DR DOS 5.0. We are 
currently testing this product but have encountered some difficulties. 
If you are currently running DR DOS 5.0 over LANtastic successfully, 
we would like to hear from you; that may be faxed or mailed to the 
above address ATTN: DR DOS Testing.   

Microsoft Windows 3.0a - The long awaited update bulletin should be
available this week.
    
TCP/IP - We are currently researching all TCP/IP solutions, and are 
in the process of working with two companies to provide a TCP/IP 
solution for LANtastic: The Wollongong Group (WIN/TCP for DOS, 
WIN/ROUTE) and FTP (PC/TCP for DOS). 1) FTP has tested their NetBIOS 
and PC/TCP software with our adapter-independent network operating
system. We are satisfied with the results so far and this product
will be added to our compatibility list.  2.) We have done detailed
testing with The Wollongong Group's WIN/TCP for DOS and our Network
Operating System with our NetBIOS (both our 2mbps and ethernet
adapters were tested).  A few minor problems have been encountered;
we are currently working to provide an acceptable work around.

MISC - A new compatibility list should be available this week. If you
are using a software package successfully on LANtastic and you do not
see it on our list, please let us know. Please fax or mail that
information to the above address, ATTN: Compatibility.
