CASE 5.1 is currently shipping on Windows and OS/2. SUN/OS is due very shortly.

I don't know what the minimum version of O7 is; I'm running 7.0.12 on OS/2 (I think.

The story on the Generators is as follows:

Forms 3 and Reports 1.1 will be supported on those platforms that currently support CASE*Dictionary 5.0 and their generators, e.g. UNIX and VMS platforms. On these plastforms, you will be able to generate Forms 4 or Forms 3 and Reports 2 and Reports 1.1.

HOWEVER, you will *not* be able to generate Forms 3 or Reports 1.1 on the OS/2 or Windows platform. The "OS/2" version is the Designer running under OS/2 but CASE*Dictionary runs under Windows, therefore Forms 3 and Reports 1.1 are not supports (Q.E.D.).
