Source: George Schussel   Published: Mar 1996
It was the purpose of this article to explain how a “Client/Server” architecture is really a fundamental enabling approach that provides a flexible approach for migrating to new technologies like Web enabled computing.

The article discusses file server, 2-tier client/server, and various forms of 3-tier client/server approaches. Distributed components and warehouse approaches are also discussed.
