- Magenta Research produced the first commercial communications package
- for the Archimedes: U_Connect.
-
- U_Connect II will be released in a RISC-OS compatible form, after
- considerable re-design of the user interface, to meet the requirements
- of, and take advantage of, the new multi-tasking WIMP environment.
-
- We view RISC-OS as the best thing to happen in Acorn since sliced Hovis,
- and we are considering a variety of new applications for the Archimedes,
- under the general category of system maintenance and productivity tools.
-
- First will be a Back-Up Utility, especially important for Hard-Disk and
- Network users, supporting file compression, and flexible specification
- options.
-
- Another product is a Telephone Book, with all the normal features of an
- address book database, plus dialling the number via a suitable modem
- connected to the RS423 port.
-
- We are also hoping to produce several programmers aids, including
- an interactive Help system for C and Assembler programmers.
-
- Magenta is always interested to here from anyone who has written software
- for the Archimedes - especially WIMP based, using assembler or 'C'.
