Open NDM for TCP/IP - Our new Open NDM for TCP/IP features allows the developer to deploy and access SCO Unix based C-ISAM files directly from an NPL Windows RunTime, and thus eliminates the need for other terminal emulation products.
On-Line NPL Revision 5.01 Addendum for SCO Unix - This update addresses all NPL V for SCO Unix specific features in addition to any enhancements introduced as part of the NPL 5.01 release. It is a supplement to the original NPL Release V Compendium sent out in the fall of 1998.

Revision 5.01 Windows Maintenance Release - These updated RunTime executable files include bug fixes and preliminary support for Novell NetWare 5 using the IP Only option. These executables are for developer use only – any use at customer sites is at your own risk until final support is implemented in Revision 5.1.
Revision 5.1 Beta - Beta test versions of the following 5.1 products are included:
- On-Line Open NDM Documentation
- On-Line Statements Manual
- On-Line Visual Interface Manager (Vinny) Guide

In NPL Release V, the functionality of the 2227 driver is built in to the NPL 32-bit Windows RunTime and is automatically invoked through the MXE=Y device clause, while the Release IV SCD is on the IDE.
NPL Gateway to ODBC - This 32-bit version allows developers to make ODBC calls directly from within NPL.
