Shipment of Pinnacle Transfer for Remote Access to NeXTmail and
Mission Critical Business Information - Introductory Pricing
Extended


TUCSON, AZ, October 4, 1993 -  Pinnacle Research, Inc., the
NEXTSTEP Utility Lab,  announced shipment of Pinnacle Transfer for
remote access to NeXTmail, files, and programs via modem.  Pinnacle
also announced that the introductory pricing on Transfer has been
extended.  Until October 31, 1993, Transfer can be purchased for
$125 - 50% off the $249 list price.


Pinnacle Transfer is a NEXTSTEP application incorporating an
architecture designed for remote access to mission critical
business information. Transfer has been designed to be extended,
for example, to provide businesses with solutions for remote
database queries or as a method to maintain concurrency of business
data at remote field locations.


Beta testers have been enthusiastic about the ease-of-use, setup,
and functionality of Transfer:

"The most elegant way to get mail, especially NeXTmail, I've ever
known. With the FileBrowser and RemoteShell, Transfer kicks open
the barn door of mobile computing possibilities."   Michael
Crawford, nesteggs, Houston Texas.


"Transfer has perfectly filled the need for NeXTmail and file
transfer anywhere.  I use it for getting email and files from the
home office to my field office and from my field office to my
portable when I am travelling.  It is simple to setup and use and
'it just works'." -  David W. Fahrney, Alembic Systems
International.


Transfer's client-server design uses an architecture independent
remote server. This allows client tools to interface with
applications running on standard UNIX and NEXTSTEP computers.
Transfer ships with tools for Email, drag-and-drop file transfer,
and remote command execution:


Incoming Mail - Select new messages or messages from any of the
users mailboxes for transfer.  To read the messages simply use the
NeXT Mail.app application.


Outgoing Mail - Send outgoing messages composed on or off-line from
the local machine.


Remote File Browser - Browse the remote filesystem using a
"Workspace-like" file browser.  Copy files from the remote server
simply by dragging file icons from the Transfer browser.


Command Execution - Display output of UNIX commands executed on
the office server. Pinnacle Transfer's modular architecture is
designed to be extended using custom modules to meet specific
business requirements. These custom modules can be used to provide
NEXTSTEP user-interface based connections to mission-critical NeXT
and non-NeXT applications residing on a remote server.


Contact Pinnacle Research, Inc. regarding development of custom
modules for Transfer.
