Our local rep has stated that in Canada, Designer 2000 will not be ported
to Motif etc. because the code was written for Windows only. He said the
design team was under time contraints to get something out so they wrote
it for Windows. He feels that Oracle won't port Designer 2000 any time
soon. As for Developer 2000, we were told that the Motif port is comming
in June of 95 for Sun OS and Solaris at first. No scheduled date was set
for other UNIX ports.
My beef with Oracle is that they have announced there will not be any
run-time fees charged for Developer 2000 for Windows but that there will
be a US$180.00 charge for Motif and Mac versions. Get your act together
Oracle!!. I can see that you are charging after the Windows market but
don't forget the rest of us.
