    I told him that. He said he was surprised it was still being developed,
    and asked about what was going to happen afterwards. He asked about the
    'SQL interface' he had heard about. I told him it is a separate product
    available now. I also told him we aren't planning on dropping support for
    DBMS.
    
    This customer is currently upgrading from 4.2 to 6.1 (per my previous
    note). The reason he is upgrading is that he is replacing his VAX with
    an Alpha.

Peter,

If the customer wants an *official* statement, I'd talk to the marketing 
group.  (Shirley Ann Stern).

It amazes me that this keeps coming up!  Customers have been asking this
question since I joined Digital in 1984!  Anyhow, Kathy steered you in 
the right direction.

    An unfortunate name for the web site. I hope none of the English
    speaking DBMS customers access the web site direct :^)
