-
- BETHESDA, MD -- March 31, 1995 -- Qualitas Dispatch distributes the documents
- created by Windows applications to their ultimate recipients quickly and easily.
- It is the ideal solution for anyone who sends their documents to multiple
- destinations using electronic mail, on-line services, fax or printers. Qualitas
- Dispatch is a utility which acts as the link between the applications that
- generate documents and the utilities used to print or transmit them. It does
- not replace existing systems. Rather, it simplifies and facilitates their use.
-
- Qualitas Dispatch lets users focus on the content and form of the documents they
- create, relieving them from being concerned with the logistics of using common
- distribution methods. In a sense, Qualitas Dispatch fills the role of personal
- assistant to the PC user by taking care of the often confusing details of
- getting documents faxed, printed or submitted to electronic messaging systems.
- This document- centric view provides the user with a single, consistent
- interface, regardless of the ultimate printing or transmission method used.
-
- As a fully scaleable system, Qualitas Dispatch works well for both SOHO (small
- office, home office) users as well as users in a networked environment. While
- the available facilities may differ, both users can benefit from the
- streamlining and simplification of the distribution process.
-
- Qualitas Dispatch uses the industry standard Application Programming Interfaces
- (APIs) of popular messaging and communications packages to bypass the many steps
- ordinarily needed for distributing documents. Qualitas Dispatch integrates with
- electronic messaging systems such as Lotus Notes, cc:Mail, Novell Groupwise and
- Microsoft Mail. Documents can be delivered through dialup on-line services
- including CompuServe, MCI Mail and the Internet. Qualitas Dispatch transmits
- faxes using Microsoft At Work Fax included in Windows for Workgroups as well as
- Delrina WinFAX Pro. Additional send modules providing integration with other
- software and services will be released in the future.
-
- The heart of Qualitas Dispatch is the Address Book, which can import data from
- most popular address books and databases, and can serve as a shared network
- resource. When a user is ready to send a document, Qualitas Dispatch displays a
- list of all available recipients from the Address Book. After the user selects
- intended recipients or destinations, Qualitas Dispatch then distributes the
- documents to the recipients based on their preferred delivery method.
-
- For example, to send a spreadsheet to a colleague who likes documents sent to
- her e-mail address, an overseas representative via the Internet, and a local
- accountant via fax, Qualitas Dispatch simply requires checking their names by
- pointing and clicking. Qualitas Dispatch then handles the details of getting
- the document actually sent or printed. A process that previously took several
- dozen steps now can be accomplished in a few easy steps.
-
- Also included in Qualitas Dispatch is a Tray area for assembling complex
- documents from multiple applications, a viewer to easily view output, and a send
- log facility to check on the documents' delivery status. Distributed documents
- can include pre-existing documents as well as arbitrary files. This allows
- inclusion of both source and document image files as well as executables.
-
- For the advanced user or systems administrator, Qualitas Dispatch is easily
- customizable and configurable for integration with existing systems and
- networks. Specialized document delivery methods can be created through Visual
- Basic-like scripts called Qualitas Dispatch Directors.
-
- Qualitas Dispatch works with Windows 3.1 and 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups
- 3.11. The package is available now for a suggested retail price of $99.95
- through retail outlets, mail order and directly from Qualitas. Qualitas also
- has a corporate licensing program available.
-

- and BlueMaxTM, memory managers for 386, 486 and Pentium-based systems. Qualitas
