-------

Compaq Computer Corp. is collaborating with Tandem Computers 
Inc. and Microsoft Corp. to develop an industry standard for clustering, which 
enables the resources of several computer servers to be linked. 

Compaq says it will work with Tandem, a mainframe computer maker, on an industry
-standard means of providing high-speed, fault-tolerant messaging between 
clustered servers based on Tandem's ServerNet architecture.
