The battery life is over three hours, and it rechargeswhen the laptop i connected to an AC outlet. s Power packs weigh 1.8 pounds each and recharge in I% hours when the system is not in use and connected to a 1 IO-, 220-, or 240-volt source. The user conserves power by pressing a Standby button that powers down the display, micrcprocessor, drives, modem, and keyboard when the system is not in use. The SLT/286 automatidally enters Standby mode when it has been inactive for a userdefined time period. Operation is restored by pressing the Standby button.

IBM will support the namedpipes interface in OS/2, Version 1.1, an IBM executive confirmed last week, helping to dispel fears that IBM and Microsoft's OS/2 communications will not work with each other. "Named pipes are in there," said Mike O'Dell, IBM product manager of distributed systems products. "It's not something we've announced." O'Dell also confirmed that named-pipe API calls would be documented for IBM's OS/2.

Because OS/2. Version 1.1 (due to ship this month) has no communications capability, the named-pipes API i so far sups ported only within a single machine, not on a LAN. O'DeU would not say whether named pipes would be supported inOS/ 2 Extended Edition, Version 1.1 or the LAN Server, which IBM uses to provide communications and LAN features to OS/2.1BM said previously, however, that all the feAtures in OS/2 Standard Edition .would be present in Extended Edition. IBM .provided further evi-

dence of interoperability hetween its Extended Edition and Microsoft's LAN Manager last week by demonstrating an Extended Edition client running under a 3Com 3 +Open server, which is LAN Manager-based. In addition, 3Com said, but did not demonstrate, that DOS users running IBMs PC LAN 1.3 can communicate with a 3+Openserver. IBM hassaid that DOS users who want to communicate with IBMs OS/2 LAN Server should use PC LAN 1.3, which means Sea Plpes, Page B

Next Interfaceto Enhance IBM's Unix Environment
IBM's licensing of the Next Step interface from Next Inc. represents a Unix strategy intended to complement, rather than threaten, its OS/2 Presentation Manager strategy, an IBM official said last week IBM and Next do not plan to develop the interface jointly, officials of each company said. IBM will, o n its own, add color, to its version, said William Filip, assistant general manager of

way people use computes. But while the Next computer holds great promise, Jobs also said the $6,500 machine won't be. available until the second quarter of 1989, and then will be marketed solely to the higher education market. Many analysts, developers, and academic buyers, whilegenerally impressed with the machin% are already looking for a lower-orid model. And many questioned when the company will provide a machine for the business market. One explanation Jobs offered last week for targeting academia See Next, Pegs 93
