Just as an FYI to the "10 ZENs" disussion - NetPublisher is considered one of the 10 NEW ZENs for the year. Peter J Strifas ------------------------- Some background info: Novell Net Publisher Are you looking to deploy the web publishing capabilities of Office2000? That's great, but how do you plan to control who publishes what - somehow, that security issue got overlooked! One of the functions Net Publisher provides is the ability to provide the necessary security that's currently lacking in Office2000, but that's not the only reason for deploying the product. Novell Net Publisher is a Web publishing solution that allows business users to regain control of the creation, management, and publication of their Web content no matter what tools they want to use. Novell Net Publisher is directory enabled providing administrator with central, overall management and control of the system. Novell Net Publisher is designed to run in today's heterogeneous networks and supports NetWare and Microsoft Windows NT. It also supports Microsoft Office2000, and augments the Office2000 Web publishing capabilities with important additional features such as searching, automated approval cycling, and tight security. Novell Net Publisher makes Web publishing as easy as storing and updating documents in a folder on a local or network drive.

Hello PJ, > From what I gather, the audio/video streaming technology is part of > NetWare 5.1. They have a component of the OS called NetWare > Multimedia Server for MPEG, AVI and MP3 files. Actually, the technology that Victor asked about is unrelated to the media server in NetWare v5.1 ... The Media Server is simply a streaming server that provides streaming of .RM (RealMedia), MPEG, and MP3 Audio files ... there is no QuickTime or AVI support yet, that I am aware of ... The technology that Victor was referring to is again a demonstration by Drew Major of the power of ICS. Drew demonstrated a very powerful capability to split and cache live QuickTime video streams ... this is going to be very useful in the future for Internet broadcasts and goes far beyond the limited capabilities of Multicasts ... I have not seen any mention of when this will see it's way into the actual product yet ... Scott C. Lemon
