Issued by Attachmate
Johannesburg, 20 Aug 1998
Attachmate and IBM will, on 24 August, present an industry standard definition proposal for accessing host data via the Internet to the Internet Engineering task Force, reported PC Week Online this week.
Dubbed OHIO (Open Host Interface Objects), it represents both vendors` commitment to developing open standards so that customers won`t necessarily have to choose a host access vendor`s proprietary interface when developing e-business solutions involving host data.
Industry sources believe that with Attachmate and IBM leading the way, other vendors will likely support OHIO in the future.
