There are no plans for any follow-on versions for the VisualAge for C++ for OS/2 and Windows versions: V3.0, V3.5, V3.6 and V4.0. The development team will focus their efforts on the AIX versions. This extension will allow additional time to consider and implement your transition plans. Your transition plans should consider the following:
1) Fee for extended service, after Sept 28, 2001, with the understanding this will be defect only support. There will be no new operating system versions supported, no updates to current ANSI levels, no locale updates and no new features.
2) The AIX versions of VisualAge C/C++ will continue to be developed and supported.
3) Legacy the Intel C/C++ code.
4) A thin client model with JAVA on the Intel workstation and C/C++ on the AIX server.
5) New development using VisualAge Java for Intel.
