           Abstract
 
           Corporations looking to make their legacy applications available
           to users over a web browser should consider the benefits of native
           web serving directly from the mainframe.  Beyond Software continues
           to advance the benefits of the VM platform by marrying it with
           the user-friendliness of the Inter/Intra/Extranet application
           environment.

           Abstract
 
           The Internet is everywhere and most companies either have an
           intranet or are planning one soon.  Any many companies are looking
           at moving to the Lotus Domino and Notes products as part of their
           internet strategy.  But OV/VM can still be a cost-effective office
           solution in these new and exciting environments.  Come hear how
           OV/VM can coexist with the Internet and Lotus Domino/Notes.
 
           And you'll even get some insight into how OV/VM plans to improve
           this coexistence in 1998.
