{Easy-to-use Windows interface for LANtastic networks
The LANtastic for Windows utility harnesses the power of the LANtastic
Network Operating System 4.0 and above from within the simple, elegant
framework of pull-down menus, icons and on-line help in Microsoft
Windows. Using the world leader in peer networks, the DOS-based
LANtastic system, LANtastic for Windows software runs network
utilities as Windows applications in standard or enhanced modes.
You can open multiple windows to monitor printer queues, manage user
accounts and chat with multiple users -- all at the same time. Use
pull-down menus to create and maintain shared resources like drives,
printers and other peripherals. Click, drag and drop network resource
icons to assign them to logical drives. Save your configuration and
continue running the LANtastic for Windows utility in the background
while running another Windows application.
E-mail improves when you use the LANtastic for Windows utility. Open
your incoming mail window to know immediately how many new text and
voice messages you've received. Use Windows' Dynamic Data Exchange
(DDE) to send data from any Windows application to anyone else on the
network via LANtastic e-mail. You can create a spreadsheet in Excel
and mail it to a remote user without ever leaving the application. Or
use Word for Windows or Windows Paintbrush to create mail messages.
The receiver simply double-clicks on the mail item in the Queues
window, and the file automatically opens in the application in which
it was created.
Computing across the LANtastic network takes on a sound dimension in
e-mail and with any Windows 3.1 application supporting Object Linking
and Embedding (OLE). Attach voice comments to spreadsheets, documents
and databases using the Artisoft Sounding Board adapter and OLE
protocol-compliant ArtiSound recorder software. Used in Windows, the
Sounding Board is fully compatible with other sound adapters and their
files.
The LANtastic for Windows utility is a separately purchased product
that requires LANtastic system 4.0 or above, and Windows 3.0 or above.
