I as a DOCS Open certified engineer and reseller - so I will comment. The issue is that in Word 7.0, PCDOCS coded their own integration file between Word 7.0 and DOCS Open. In Office 97, Microsoft coded their suite of products to be 'ODMA' aware, which means that the end vendor (MSFT) is responsible for developing the correct code to be ODMA compliant. Although the issue may appear to be in PCDOCS hand, it is really MSFT's issue to work out the bugs and deliver a patch for Office 97. PCDOCS has been trying diligently to have MSFT deliver this patch, but they are finding that the huge juggernaut is hard to move (to deliver the patch). Now, the real negative is that when MSFT does not deliver code in a timely fashion (i.e. Citrix [CTXS] story where MSFT did not turn over the source code of NT 4.0 to CTXS), could it be that MSFT is delivering their own version of document management software? Six months ago, I had heard rumours that this was true. Have not heard anything since. -Jay
