Borland's Interbase for Novell SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 1998-- InterBase Software Corporation delivers version 4.2.2 of its relational database server for the Novell NetWare 4.11 platform InterBase Software Corporation today announced the availability of its InterBase 4.2.2 Server for Novell NetWare 4.11. InterBase Server is an embeddable database engine that combines business-critical, relational database technology with ease of installation, use and maintenance. InterBase 4.2.2 succeeds the current InterBase 4.0 Server for NetWare 3.12. "The release of the InterBase 4.2.2 Server underscores the continued commitment to our IT and VAR (value-added-reseller) customers using NetWare," said Jim Weil, president of InterBase Software Corporation. "This, along with the December 1997 release of InterBase 5.0 Server for Windows NT, Solaris, and HP-UX, illustrates that InterBase Software Corporation is meeting the needs of the embedded database VAR across multiple platforms." InterBase 4.2.2 Server for NetWare is already in use by SAGE U.S., Inc., a VAR based in Dallas, Texas that uses InterBase to provide data management in its Carpe Diem software for time tracking of project development, project management and billing tasks. "We are extremely pleased to have the 4.2.2 Server available to us," said David Robinson, Carpe Diem development manager, SAGE U.S., Inc. "A large portion of our customers are operating on NetWare 4 platforms, and the 4.2.2 Server will allow us to fulfill the NetWare needs of our growing customer base." Included with the upgraded Server product is the InterBase Client for the 32-bit Microsoft Windows( platform. The enhanced Client is enabled with a 32-bit application interface to the IPX/SPX network protocol. This capability is built on Microsoft Winsock(, thereby eliminating the third-party client networking component requirement of the previous InterBase 4.0 for NetWare. Both the 32-bit InterBase Client, and the existing 16-bit InterBase Client for Windows are certified to work with the new Server release, using either IPX/SPX or TCP/IP. Later this year, InterBase Software Corporation plans to follow up with an InterBase 5 Server for NetWare. Thereafter, InterBase projects two releases each year for the Novell platform, starting in Q2 and Q4 of 1999.
