| 3531.1 | One approach is queued messaging | PAMSRC::STUTZMAN | Bach's music: inevitable, yet surprising | Tue Nov 29 1994 11:21 | 23 | 
|  | We have a number of customers that have integrated MACs with other platforms
using DECmessageQ.  Since we recently introduced a Windows Client product,
distributed queued messaging is now available on that platform as well.
One round of "good news/bad news":
Be aware that DECmessageQ is "overt" client/server...applications must be coded 
to exchange messages. (i.e., this is not a transparent method of using Windows
applications from Macs or vice versa).
The good news is that DmQ is the market share leader in queued messaging
technology with a borader platform coverage than any other product.
More info: The Nov 94 issue of "Client/Server Today" magazine reviewed
messaging-oriented middleware in general and DmQ in particular.  This is a
good introduction to the technology.  Internally, see the file
	PAMSRC::DMQ$PUBLIC:0README.TXT
for a guide to online information.
Good luck!
