What's new with DECmessageQ?
============================

The Version 3.2 release of DECmessageQ offers the most
robust array of supported platforms ever and expanded
support of DECmessageQ messaging clients on many new
platforms.  On April 15, 1996 Digital announced the
following key enhancements to its industry-leading message
queuing software:

o Enhanced connectivity to IBM systems

  DECmessageQ Version 3.2 offers the following important
  new ways to exchange information with applications
  running on IBM systems:

  _  DECmessageQ MVS ClientEnables applications running on
     IBM MVS systems to use the DECmessageQ API to exchange
     information with applications running on all industry-
     leading platforms in a multivendor network.
  
  _  DECmessageQ MQSeries ConnectionOffers connectivity
     between applications using the IBM MQSeries message queuing
     product and Digital's DECmessageQ.  MQSeries Connection
     provides software that forwards messages between DECmessageQ
     and MQSeries queues and performs the necessary
     transformation of message format between the two systems.
  
  _  DECmessageQ for OS/2 message server and clientProvides
     a full DECmessageQ server and messaging client for the IBM
     OS/2 environment.  OS/2 applications use the same portable
     DECmessageQ API functions to connect to other applications
     in a multivendor network.

o Support for Windows '95 and Windows NT messaging client

  The DECmessageQ Windows Client has expanded support to
  offer a 32-bit version of the Client Library to run on
  Windows '95 and Windows NT (Intel and Alpha) systems.  A
  separate Client Library implementation is offers for the
  Windows 3.1 environment.

o Improved performance and scalability

  DECmessageQ Version 3.2 offers applications a 20-50%
  improvement in messaging throughput over the previous
  version.  DECmessageQ for Digital UNIX and DECmessageQ
  for OpenVMS have been benchmarked using Digital
  AlphaServer systems and have been shown to support more
  than 1,000 simultaneous connections from PCs or UNIX
  workstations.
