Designer/2000 is the CASE tool suite. It will NOT be ported to anything but Windows 3.1, WinNT, Win95/96/Ever.

Developer/2000 is the 4GL tool suite. It will be ported to Mac, Motif, and WinNT/Win95, most this summer. Character mode deployment will also be ported. We will support Unix and OpenVMS Motif/character mode. We expect many of these ports to be shipping this summer.
