DEC has also announced Version 1.2 of its VMS/Ultrix Connection layered software product for VAX/VMS systems, which enables networking, file access, remote terminal access and applications development between VAX/VMS servers and Ultrix and other Unix-based hardware. Enhancements include support for the Telnet Internet networking protocol, TCP/IP support for DECWindows release 2, C language Berkeley socket programming interface support, and new pricing for clusters, which now starts at $1,205 for a 10-unit cluster. The final days of big shows are seldom up to much, and Unix Expo certainly went out with more of a whimper than a bang when the power in the Jacob Javitts Center failed, leaving attendees even more in the dark than earlier in the week about whether the warring Unix camps really were making peace.
