The attached net-reply re System 10 is entirely incorrect - The OmniSQL Server and Replication Server both work directly with the SQL Server Version 10. The adminstration tools (including Backup Server, SQL Server Manager, SQL Monitor, SQL Debug) also work with System 10. The connectivity products (including Embedded SQL/C, Embedded SQL/COBOL, and the Client and Server APIs) also work with System 10 as well.

As a side note ... I am currently doing a prototype linking the SQL Server v10 to Adabas and VSAM via the OmniSQL Server which both verifies and validates the above..
