ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. TE/2 Pro! Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
TE/2 Pro! is Oberon Software's new, object-oriented, Workplace Shell aware,
telecommunications program for OS/2 Warp. TE/2 Pro!, based on the same
telecommunications engine, file transfer protocols, and terminal emulations as
Oberon's very successful, original TE/2, adds the desktop object behaviors and
drag and drop interfaces which OS/2 Warp users are used to while maintaining
the robustness and reliability of the original product.
In addition to long-standing TE/2 features such as robust, high-speed
telecommunications support, seven terminal emulation modes, fast, reliable file
transfer protocols, and extensive REXX scripting capabilities, some of the new
features for TE/2 Pro! will include:
Object Oriented User Interface.
- Terminal sessions and dialing directories appear as objects. These
objects use standard OS/2 notebook controls for their settings, may
be opened in various views, dragged to the printer or shredder as
OS/2 users would expect.
- Dialing directory entries can be copied or moved easily between
directories or dialed by simply dragging them to a terminal object.
Support for multiple, simultaneous sessions. One invocation of TE/2 Pro!
can support a virtually unlimited number of terminal sessions.
Terminal objects which do not compete for the same device may be active
simultaneously.
Asynch, TCP/IP, and Named Pipe support built in.
Any terminal object may be set to access a modem port, a TCP/IP socket
(if the user has TCP/IP installed), or a Named Pipe server.
Multiwindow chat and scroll back. Rather than the split-screen and/or
"modal" ways of handling these features, TE/2 Pro! uses standard OS/2
windows which can be sized, moved, retained, or closed as the user
desires.
Of course, copy and paste via the OS/2 clipboard is available throughout.
