PROFESSIONAL UTILITIES

Network File Manager, including File Transfer:
The Network File Manager is a comprehensive utility for managing the display and transfer of local and remote files. Graphical File Browser emulates the Microsoft Windows File Manager to display all accessible networked files and provides the convenience of copying/deleting both local and remote files from a single display. Remote files can also be directed to a local PC printer from the same File Manager display. A Windows-based "point & click" file transfer capability provides a simplified method for transferring files in either ASCII or binary mode between a PC and remote host, or between two networked hosts. The industry-standard FTP protocol is supported.

UNIX Print Re-route Utility:
This time-saving utility was specially designed to provide a convenient alternative to dedicated UNIX printers. AGE's Print Re-route Utility enables networked users to redirect multiple UNIX print jobs to their local PC printer, or to any printer accessible to the PC.

Full Telnet Client:
For added functionality and ease of use, AGE includes a simple iconified method of connecting to any UNIX host. The Telnet utility provides simple Telnet communication and terminal emulation capabilities as well as command line interface to the UNIX host.

FLEXIBLE SERIAL CONNECTION ALTERNATIVES

AGE's Serial ConneXion:
XoftWare/32 for Windows, EDA Edition includes Serial ConneXion, AGE's implementation of Tektronix proprietary serial Xpress technology which provides high speed access to UNIX applications over standard telephone or RS-232 connections. Serial ConneXion utilizes sophisticated data compression techniques, allowing remarkable throughput over remote serial lines. This implementation uses specially developed compression technology, which maximizes serial performance levels.

PPP and SL/IP Protocols
XoftWare/32 for Windows, EDA Edition includes industry-standard PPP and SL/IP serial communication software. Users can access and transmit data over existing connections or use the Internet Protocol software included with XoftWare/32 for Windows, EDA Edition. Multiple remote hosts can be accessed and displayed simultaneously. Host software installations which comply with PPP and SL/IP protocols are supported.

TCP/IP Communications:
XoftWare/32 for Windows, EDA Edition includes TCP/IP communication software so users can take advantage of AGE's one-stop customer support for both the X server and the TCP/IP interface. All portions of the network software required for PC-to-UNIX connectivity are provided, with less expense.

XoftWare/32 for Windows, EDA Edition offers the most comprehensive choice of window managers available. Both the Microsoft Windows Program Manager and a remote window manager such as Motif, OPEN LOOK, DECwindows or HP Vue can be used simultaneously on a single display. This feature was specially designed to allow the user to select the window manager(s) most suited to the application.

TRACE DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY
