ARTISOFT'S LANTASTIC(r) FOR WINDOWS(r) NETWORK UTILITY NOW SHIPPING
Features Icons, Pull-Down Menus and DDE for LANtastic Local Area
Network
(TUCSON, Ariz. -- September 30, 1991) -- Artisoft announced
today that it has begun shipping its new LANtastic for Windows
network utility which allows the LANtastic network to be run
totally from within Microsoft(r) Windows(tm) 3.0. Priced at $299
per network, it requires LANtastic(r) NOS 4.0 or higher (sold
separately) to operate.
"LANtastic(r) for Windows(tm) was designed for those LANtastic
users who prefer the Windows interface and operating environment,"
said Jack Schoof, Artisoft President and CEO.
The LANtastic(r) for Windows(tm) network utility offers the
same features as the DOS-version's NET and NET_MGR programs, but
within the easy, graphical user interface of Microsoft Windows'
pull-down menus, icons and on-line help. It also supports Dynamic
Data Exchange (DDE) so that Windows applications can use LANtastic
e-mail to exchange messages and transfer data. For example, with
DDE, a user can create an Excel spreadsheet and send it to a remote
user who will then be able to double-click on the file to open it
in the application in which it was originally created.
Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of hardware and
software for local area networks including the LANtastic Local Area
Network. The LANtastic network is a peer-to-peer network that
allows users of IBM-compatible computers to connect and share
information and peripheral devices such as printers, hard drives
and CD-ROMs.
