- System 7 Pro -- Product Description
-
- Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
-
- System 7 Pro empowers you to work your best both individually and with
- others. By providing System 7, PowerTalk, AppleScript, and QuickTime software
- in one package, it helps you streamline your work and communicate with your
- colleagues more effectively.
-
- PowerTalk allows you to correspond and work with others using built-in mail
- and collaboration services. Use your modem or an AppleTalk network to send
- messages of any type--including text, images, video, and sound--to other
- System 7 Pro users.
-
- With PowerTalk, you can send an item from your desktop by dragging and
- dropping its icon onto an information-card icon for the recipient. You use
- this same simple method whether you’re sending the item to other PowerTalk
- recipients or using personal gateway software provided by other vendors to
- reach fax or other electronic-mail destinations.
-
- Incoming mail items arrive in a single universal mailbox directly on the
- Macintosh desktop. Items can be opened, copied to folders, and otherwise
- manipulated just as you would any other desktop objects.
-
- PowerTalk also lets you create catalogs of information that facilitate your
- collaboration with others, from simple address lists to collections of images
- or sounds.
-
- The PowerTalk “key chain” lets you protect and access your mailbox, AppleShare
- volumes, and other services using a single access code. Commercial-grade
- electronic-signature support is provided via PowerTalk’s DigiSign software.
-
- AppleScript is a system-level “macro” language that lets any user invoke
- pre-scripted automated tasks with the click of a button. With AppleScript,
- you can use your favorite off-the-shelf applications to create powerful,
- cost-effective custom solutions.
-
- QuickTime is Apple’s industry-leading multimedia technology. It lets you
- view, copy, and paste video, animation, images, and sound as easily as you
- manipulate text.
