Exceed 5 Provides High Performance PC X Server

Hummingbird's X11R6 32-bit PC X server, optimized for high performance, permits Intel 386, 486 and Pentium-based PCs running Microsoft Windows 95 to access the X Window System while maintaining all the advantages of the personal computing environment. With 100% Windows 95 and X integration, Exceed 5 for Windows 95 permits simultaneous execution and interaction of X clients, and DOS, Microsoft Windows and Windows 95 applications across the network or over telephone lines. Local Windows and host-based X applications run concurrently on the PC screen, with capability to copy and paste from one window to another, transferring data and images among usually incompatible computer environments.

Main PC X Server Features

32-bit native Windows 95 implementation
MIT X11R6 compliant, including XTEST and SYNC extensions
X Image Extension (XIE) support
Supports up to 64 client connections
100% Windows 95 based
Host based or local window managers: Host based window managers include Motif, OpenLook, etc.
Local window managers include the Microsoft Windows 95 Desktop, hwm (Hummingbird's Motif-like window manager), or mwm (Motif Window Manager)
Two Windowing Modes:: Single Window Mode: All X clients run within one Windows 95 window, utilizing any host based Window Manager (e.g. OpenLook), or local hwm
Multiple Window Mode: Each X client runs in its own Windows 95 window. Windows 95 becomes the local window manager, minimizing network traffic
Common Desktop Environment (CDE):: Support is provided via integration with the TriTeal Enterprise Desktop (TED). DCDE provides a common look and feel across UNIX platforms (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, IBM, AIX, SGI IRIX, Novell UnixWare, AT&T MP-RAS, SNI SINIX, and Digital Unix), and can access CDE enabled hosts in both single and multiple window modes
Single and multiple window mode panning & ability to control rate of panning
Copy and paste text and images between Windows 95 and the X Window System
Print to local PC printer
Backing store and save-unders: reducing network traffic
Support for network file server installation
Launch Pad:: Hummingbird's programmable menuing facility with graphical interface, simplifies window management and application launching
Virtual Desktop:: Provides a virtual screen much larger than the actual display, presenting a bird's eye view of all X and Windows 95 applications, which the user may move on and off the screen
Xtrace: Sophisticated protocol tracing for client debugging

Exceed 5 is Easy to Use and Easy To Install

Even for the novice, it couldn't be easier, with intuitive features such as: 3D look and feel, drag-and-drop functionality, toolbar programmability, simple point and click selection from drop down lists of most recently accessed hosts, and intelligent one-step installation/configuration procedures, scripting capability, graphical keyboard configuration, keyboard macros, automatic keyboard and video mode detection, and CDE support.

Exceed 5 Delivers Centralized Desktop Management For Large PC Networks

Exceed 5's advanced and powerful administrative functionality significantly reduces time and costs associated with installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.

The Remote Configuration Administrator (Rconfig)

Hummingbird's Rconfig enables network managers to easily configure and install Exceed on hundreds, or even thousands of networked PCs from any PC on the network, or remotely from home based PCs, laptop or notebook computers. Rconfig also permits system administrators to manage, monitor, and automate functions such as the creation and distribution of application icons across the entire Exceed network, regardless of platrform.

Setup Configuration Administrator (Sconfig)

Hummingbird's Sconfig allows system administrators to smoothly customize the installation process to site requirements. Features include the ability to minimize or eliminate end user involvement in the installation process and the distribution/installation of site/customer provided components (e.g. custom keyboard files & fonts, program starter files, Windows 95 Desktop program icons, etc.)

Exceed 5 Allows You To Access Host Computers Over Phone Lines

To facilitate access to remote computers and networks, Hummingbird's high performance Exceed/Xpress is integrated with Exceed 5. PC, laptop, and notebook users may access X Window System networks and hosts over standard telephone lines using a modem, or directly via RS 232 serial connection. Exceed/Xpress has been designed specifically to handle the increased bandwidth requirements of remote connections to X hosts. Performance is enhanced with modem compression features designed to maximize bandwidth.

Comprehensive Network Client And Server Applications and Utilities

Extensive selection of client and server applications are provided with Exceed 5 for Windows 95, all of which are fully integrated into Windows 95. These applications include graphical FTP file transfer, Email, terminal emulation including TN3270, News reader, and other network utilities. Applications can be launched using Launch Pad, Hummingbird's unique user programmable menuing facility, and a fully functional BASIC language Workbench is included for writing scripts to automate repetitive tasks.

Server TCP/IP application programs include the Internet service daemon (Inetd) for Windows which conserves PC resources by starting and stopping daemons only when required. Inetd provides the Windows POC platform with the functionality of a UNIX workstation enabling peer-to-peer connectivity among PC workstations (LAN or WAN) by implementing server functions for TCP/IP-based applications, which include" FTPd, Fingerd, LPD, Xstartd & Telnetd to support multiple Telnet sessions.

Terminal Emulation: Telnet & TN3270

Multiple terminal emulations include Telnet which supports VT320/220/100/52 with scripting to automate the log sequence. The graphical keyboard remapping feature permits the user to customize the keyboard, and other features include copy & paste, scroll back buffes, and local printing.
