BOSTON - Athena Design, Inc. has announced a special introductory
offer for the new OS/2 <<R>> version of its leading object-based
spreadsheet, Mesa <<TM>>.
Athena Design, Inc. will offer the Mesa 2 Personal Edition <<TM>>
spreadsheet at a special $99 introductory price. This offer will be
good for a limited time only. The specially priced package comes with
90 days of free technical support via electronic mail or fax, and a
discount on future upgrades. Users can take advantage of the special
introductory offer by calling 1-800-315-MESA. Personal Edition users
who want to have the Mesa 2 users' manual available in addition to
the on-line help may order the printed copy from Athena Design for an
additional $19.95.
Mesa 2 is a powerful, full-featured, 32-bit, native OS/2 spreadsheet
application. It takes advantage of OS/2 features, including SOM,
OpenDoc (when available), multi-threading and the Object-Oriented
User Interface. In addition, Mesa 2 will include an object library
so that customers can integrate Mesa objects into their own
line-of-business applications.
The offer provides OS/2 customers with an opportunity to experiment
with the first spreadsheet on the market to compete with Lotus 1-2-3
<<R>>. Athena Design, Inc. President David Pollak comments that
"We've been out in the marketplace listening to customers and hearing
what they're saying about their spreadsheet needs and how the current
offerings meet their needs. We think there's a significant
opportunity here for a real, native OS/2 spreadsheet. By shipping
our object library, we're delivering more than a traditional
spreadsheet, we're also delivering a tool that can be easily
integrated into mission-critical custom applications."
Athena Design will also offer the Mesa 2 Enterprise Edition <<TM>>
for corporate users (suggested retail price: $499). The Enterprise
Edition provides increased functionality and features for enterprise
users, including a special adapter that allows Mesa to access SQL
databases, an enhanced object library, a floating license manager and
telephone technical support.
Athena Design, Inc. currently sells the best-selling spreadsheet for
the NEXTSTEP <<R>> platform. Like its NEXTSTEP counterpart, Mesa 2
for OS/2 features real-time data feed capabilities and MOLI <<TM>> -
the Mesa Object Library Interface.
Athena Design, Inc. was founded in 1989 by David Pollak to
manufacture and sell Mesa spreadsheet software for 32-bit operating
environments. For more information about Athena Design or Mesa
