---------------------------------------------------------------------
IBM has released new feature enhancements to the IBM Software Choice home
page at http://www.software.ibm.com/swchoice:
- Java(TM) 1.1.6 for OS/2 Warp
Provides the latest, state-of-the-art Java capabilities for Warp Server,
WorkSpace On-Demand, and OS/2 Warp. Now can take advantage of SMP
(Symmetric Multiprocessing) capabilities in Warp Server; also offers
significant performance enhancements on all supported platforms.
[Please note that Java 1.02 is not Year 2000 Ready, according to Javasoft.
Therefore Java 1.1.6 (only) has been tested and is recommended on
unsupported Version 3 releases of OS/2 Warp.]
- Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2 Warp (June, 1998 refresh)
The latest bug fixes are now incorporated into Netscape Navigator 2.02 (June
refresh). Also supports Java 1.1.6 for state-of-the-art Java capabilities
while surfing the Internet or your own intranet. This refresh is issued in
anticipation of Netscape Communicator 4 for OS/2 Warp, due later this year.
In addition, IBM has released the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol) Toolkit for Java and OS/2 Warp. This toolkit will be made
available to Software Choice subscribers on CD-ROM only. Subscribers
include customers who have purchased the Software Choice Subscription Plan,
IBM Software Advantage Upgrade Protection Option (UPO), or IBM/Lotus
Passport Advantage subscription for Warp Server, WorkSpace On-Demand, and/or
OS/2 Warp 4.
The LDAP Toolkit provides programmers the ability to write applications
which work with industry standard LDAP servers, including Lotus Domino for
Warp Server. LDAP provides common directory services for groupware, e-mail,
security, and other applications.
