Softway Systems Inc is now shipping release 1.0 of its OpenNT Commands and Utilities, which provides IEEE Posix.2 and X/Open XPG4 conformity to Microsoft Corp Windows NT user and development environments. A full X/Open Unix 95-compliant environment for NT is due in 1997. Posix.2 compliance became a requirement for US Government operating systems procurement contracts as stated in FIPS 189 from April 3. Softway says its software will enable Windows NT OEM customers, integrators and value-added resellers to bid on federal contracts. OpenNT Commands and Utilities, release 1.0 ships at an introductory price of $100 until May 31. Softway has signed up Computer Marketing Associates Inc, Vienna, Virginia, to help peddle OpenNT to US federal, state and local governments.
