1. Antwort und 1. Frage:
If you mean you want to run
IB on a Netware server the answer is no.
InterBase 7 is not available as an NLM. Add a Windows or Linux server
to your network to host
IB.

nochmals nachgehakt :
Yes, this is the answer for the question. But in the future ? My problem is:
Our Customers have a lot of Netware-Fileservers running. And our software (in future) should run with Interbase. The new Application will take over 3-6 month to be ready to run. If this problem isn't cleared I must decide, either to use Interbase or Novell, i.e. I must say to the Customers : "You must buy a new Database in any case" and if Interbase isn't running with Netware, you must also buy a new Network - System including Installation.
Thanks for answer

There is no chance whatever,
IMHO, that there will be a version for
Netware. There was an
IB 5 version for Netware but the sales were so
tiny that it was dropped.
I must be missing something. Why would they buy a new network
OS? Just
buy a PC, install Linux or Windows, connect it to the network and
install InterBase. Unless you are dealing with a large number of users
the harware and software cost could be as little as $500 to $600.

Und noch eine von Jeff Overcash höchstpersönlich :
Most major
DB vendors either have already or have announced dropping Novell as a platform. It is a good file server, but an awful
DB server. There are no plans to release a Novell version of
IB.
