Item 3036656 93/03/13 14:20 From: CONRAD_GEIGER@NEXT.COM@INET# Internet Gateway Sub: DowVision comes to NeXTSTEP News FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information, contact: The Hutchison Avenue Software Corp. Neil Gilday 3478 Hutchison, Montreal, Quebec, CANADA, H2X 2G4 Phone: (514) 499-2067 Fax: (514) 845-5236 Email: info@solutions.ca DowVision(TM) comes to NeXTSTEP MONTREAL, Canada. March 12, 1993 - Hutchison Avenue Software announced today HRT News, bringing Dow Jones' DowVision composite news feed to computers running NeXTSTEP. DowVision is a comprehensive information service that delivers customized business news and information provided by wires such as The Wall Street Journal (R), directly to desktop computers, allowing for broadcast distribution and interactive retrieval simultaneously over the same physical link, with Dow Jones' renowned accuracy and rapid delivery. HRT News is a family of products running on NeXTSTEP, giving users access to DowVision on personal workstations, or in a network environment. HRT News is composed of a database/network server, a client application, and a developer's kit. The server's database holds articles for 180 days (or more if you choose), and maintains full text indexes on headlines and article text so you can perform rapid word searches for historical searching and cross referencing. The server supports multiple clients on an ethernet network, supplying news retrieval as well as real-time headline broadcast for access to news as it happens. The client application allows for article profiling through the use of a powerful and customizable filtering engine, which means that you're not bothered by news that doesn't fit your definition of what's important. The client gives full access to keyword and metadata searches within the server's database, as well as point-and-click article retrieval. Since HRT News was designed and developed from scratch using NeXT's revolutionary NeXTSTEP (TM) object oriented environment, HRT News is a very dynamic and powerful environment for application developers. Developer's needing real-time news in mission critical applications can use the HRT NewsKit and have the full functionality of the HRT News client in their applications, with the addition of a single line of code. If developers need to get closer to the data, the HRT NewsKit provides three layers of abstraction, in order to supply the needed flexibility to get at the news, with minimal effort. HRT News will be available at the end of Q2, on any and all computers running NeXTSTEP. --- The Hutchison Avenue Software Corporation creates innovative applications helping financial and corporate customers manage today's vast amount of information.
