 Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation (SMCC) announces SunSelect's NetWare
 SunLink product to provide full NetWare services on SMCC systems.  NetWare
 SunLink provides NetWare file and print connectivity while retaining the
 much more robust application environment of Solaris and enabling server
 functions such as RDBMS back-ends.

 Oracle and Ingres, for example, have announced that they will develop
 NetWare-based interfaces for Suns using NetWare SunLink.  This means
 customers will get the benefit of retaining their existing desktop and
 network investment while having access to the aggressive database
 server price performance offered by SMCC servers.
