1348.0. "What is ALL-IN-1 IOS ?" by UFHCOP::CHEQUER (An object of orientation) Wed Sep 02 1992 20:30

    What is ALL-IN-1 IOS ?
    
    I  have been able figure the IOS bit (Integrated Office System), but 
    is  it a different product, is it a upgrade or is it just a new name 
    for an old product ?
    
    I have a running V2.4 (German) ALL-IN-1 system, what do I need to do 
    to  change it into a ALL-IN-1 IOS system, because currently its only 
    a  office  automation  system  that  provides a number of integrated 
    office applications.

	Its the name for the VT based office product you know and love as ALL-IN-1... It was called IOS to distinguish it from that deft piece of marketing ALL-IN-1 Mail (The X400 Mail Product!). Latest version is V3.0 (originally codenamed Diamond) Winton

	Hi Winton, >deft piece of marketing ALL-IN-1 Mail (The X400 Mail Product!) Yes put's a smile on my face. That product is now called DECmailworks so now it's part of the Pathworks family of products. I remember taking my very first call for ALL-IN-1 Mail and I asked the customer what menu option he was having problems with !!! Need I say we were both confused to say the least :-). Sunil

	re .1: ... to continue Winton's sentence: >> Latest version is V3.0 (originally codenamed Diamond) the German variant of which will be shipping in a few days. Stefan

	Oh, and you MAY hear the term ALL-IN-1 IOS Server - This in fact is not a reference to the File Cab Server mechanism introduced in V3.0 that allows shared drawers, or even a new architectural model for X-Windows or MS-Windows... but wait for it... A server that serves character cell terminals.... ie the standard ALL-IN-1 office product... Isn't Marketing wonderful! :-)
1348.5	I think you meant DAFT not DEFT !!	IOSG::TALLETT	Arranging bits for a living...	`Thu Sep 03 1992 13:51`	1

1348.6	Confusing naming conventions is a tradition with ALL-IN-1!!!!!!	SHALOT::NICODEM	Avoid traffic; leave work at noon	`Thu Sep 03 1992 19:09`	18
	As Winton points out, the correct name for the VMS-based product, actually, is ALL-IN-1 IOS Server. To be proper, the name "ALL-IN-1 IOS" really refers to the entire ALL-IN-1 Phase II family -- more of a "strategy" than a single "product". (I mean, think of it: Integrated Office System -- it's supposed to connote integration of all desktops. So in that light, ALL-IN-1 DESKtop for DOS, for example, is simply another element of the ALL-IN-1 Integra- ted Office System -- IOS.) Many people have (incorrectly) begun to make 'ALL-IN-1 IOS' synonymous with the VMS-based, character-cell oriented ALL-IN-1 IOS Server V3.0; it's quite easy to get confused. In regard to your original question about whether you have the correct software, or need an upgrade of some sort, don't worry about it! Nothing's changed.

	Re .-1 Shouldn't that be "ALL-IN-1 Integrated Office System Server for OpenVMS V3.0" and soon to be "ALL-IN-1 Integrated Office System Server for OpenVMS Alpha AXP V3.0" Almost could't fit it on one line Bill
