    Dear Colleagues...
    
    This is to keep you up to date with developments on the Dialogue Bus
    Toolkit engineering and commercial activities.
    
    The Dialogue Bus Toolkit is now classified as a Digital Customisable
    Asset (DCA) and part of the NSIS portfolio of reusable software. It is 
    now owned by the Business Systems and Integration group in Reading
    (part of AD&I), and the Engineering Manager is Gary Burch (7-830-3348).
    
    The Dialogue Bus Toolkit Engineering Team  within the Group is now 
    responsible for the management, engineering and pricing of Dialogue Bus 
    Toolkit. Please contact us on 7-830-3348 or 7-830-2343 if you need details
    of prices. We are very keen to maximise license and support revenue. 
    
    We are working towards a new release of the DBDK. As yet we do not have
    any firm release dates. However, the immediate task of developing a
    DBUS.EXE which runs on UNIX v4.0 has been completed. We offer this is a
    patch. Contact us for further details. 
    
    We have further developed a Product Support Contract for the DBTK. So,
    if you have sold it, please contact us for details of this support.
    
    We are aslo keen to find sites that will act as both Alpha and beta
    field test sites for us. If your site or development activity would
    allow you you to use field test software, please let us know.
    
    Please note that we do not intend to include Star Stream, Menuman or
    HImage in this release. Please let me know if this causes you a
    problem. 
    
    Please mail me your current interest, requirements and issues for the
    DBTK - Ray Knight (on Exchange) - or KNIGHTRA@mail.dec.com@exchange -
    or Ray Knight@UCG.
    
    Look forward to hearing from you.
    
    Rgds RAY.
