- bulletins on various third party products are available through our
- BBS at (602) 293-0065 and through our Artisoft Fax System at (602)

- Ashton-Tate's dBASE IV 1.1 - We have been working with Ashton Tate
- to resolve reported printing problems with dBASE IV 1.1; the process
- should be completed shortly and we hope to be listed as a supported
- network by Ashton Tate by the end of this month. At that time a
- detailed technical bulletin should be available.
-
- Digital Research DR DOS 5.0 - We have been working with Digital
- Research to resolve reported problems with DR DOS 5.0. We are
- currently testing this product but have encountered some difficulties.
- If you are currently running DR DOS 5.0 over LANtastic successfully,
- we would like to hear from you; that may be faxed or mailed to the

- TCP/IP - We are currently researching all TCP/IP solutions, and are
- in the process of working with two companies to provide a TCP/IP
- solution for LANtastic: The Wollongong Group (WIN/TCP for DOS,
- WIN/ROUTE) and FTP (PC/TCP for DOS). 1) FTP has tested their NetBIOS
- and PC/TCP software with our adapter-independent network operating
- system. We are satisfied with the results so far and this product
- will be added to our compatibility list. 2.) We have done detailed
- testing with The Wollongong Group's WIN/TCP for DOS and our Network
- Operating System with our NetBIOS (both our 2mbps and ethernet
- adapters were tested). A few minor problems have been encountered;
- we are currently working to provide an acceptable work around.
-
- MISC - A new compatibility list should be available this week. If you
- are using a software package successfully on LANtastic and you do not
- see it on our list, please let us know. Please fax or mail that
- information to the above address, ATTN: Compatibility.
