  This is a clear sign NetWare is dead.  When high-ups need to waste
breath saying they are not going to end-of-life something the plans
are already made to do it.

  I will be amazed if NetWare is still being developed in 5 years.
(OpenNetWare possibly, but not a close product).

    TTFN,
      Mike
