HP AdvanceLink for MS-Windows and HP NewWave Technical Data
HP AdvanceLink for MS-Windows(r) and HP NewWave is a comprehensive data
communications product that enables you to integrate host/terminal
applications with your client/server and personal computer allocation.
It provides emulation of HP and DEC terminals, allowing you to access
and execute host software from your PC. Fast, reliable file transfer
simplifies exchange of data between your PC and the host. Task
automation minimizes the work required to complete complex or frequent
activities, improving productivity and reducing training needs.
AdvanceLink is supported on a variety of personal computers and supports
serial and LAN connections to the host computer.
MS-Windows
The multitasking capability of MS-Windows permits you to establish
multiple, simultaneous host connections over serial or LAN links.
Microsoft's(r) DDE protocol, combined with AdvanceLink's powerful
TermTalk command language, enables you to integrate host applications
with your PC even more closely.
HP NewWave
HP NewWave offers further benefits beyond MS-Windows. HP offers you the
choice of installing AdvanceLink either as an MS-Windows or a native
HP NewWave application, from a single set of disks. When you install it
in the HP NewWave environment, additional user interface and task
automation functions are enabled. AdvanceLink can then recognize and
handle HP NewWave data objects, simplifying data transfer. The TermTalk
command language has features in common with the HP NewWave Agent
language, and is better suited to data communications tasks. TermTalk
can also invoke HP NewWave Agents. When you use AdvanceLink within the
HP NewWave environment, you have the benefits of this sophisticated user
interface and the powerful task automation capabilities, enabling you to
achieve a level of integration that is impossible in other environments.
