CopsTalk is a complete AppleTalk client implementation for Microsoft
Windows 95, 98, and NT that allows PC's to join AppleTalk networks to

to coexist with the Microsoft networks that are becoming a standard
part of the infrastructure of most companies. Customers can now come
to a single company to solve their requirements. We are positioned
to provide the customer the best solution whether they prefer making
the Macs look like PCs on the network, or changing the PCs to look
like Macs."
The new version of CopsTalk under the Thursby brand is expected to
ship within 6 weeks and will be available worldwide through Thursby's
existing network of distributors and dealers. Major enhancements
to the product line will be made over the next twelve months to
