DowVision(TM) comes to NeXTSTEP
MONTREAL, Canada. March 12, 1993 - Hutchison Avenue Software announced today
HRT News, bringing Dow Jones' DowVision composite news feed to computers
running NeXTSTEP.
DowVision is a comprehensive information service that delivers customized
business news and information provided by wires such as The Wall Street
Journal (R), directly to desktop computers, allowing for broadcast
distribution and interactive retrieval simultaneously over the same physical
link, with Dow Jones' renowned accuracy and rapid delivery.
HRT News is a family of products running on NeXTSTEP, giving users access to
DowVision on personal workstations, or in a network environment. HRT News is
composed of a database/network server, a client application, and a developer's
kit.
The server's database holds articles for 180 days (or more if you choose), and
maintains full text indexes on headlines and article text so you can perform
rapid word searches for historical searching and cross referencing. The server
supports multiple clients on an ethernet network, supplying news retrieval as
well as real-time headline broadcast for access to news as it happens.
The client application allows for article profiling through the use of a
powerful and customizable filtering engine, which means that you're not
bothered by news that doesn't fit your definition of what's important. The
client gives full access to keyword and metadata searches within the server's
database, as well as point-and-click article retrieval.
Since HRT News was designed and developed from scratch using NeXT's
revolutionary NeXTSTEP (TM) object oriented environment, HRT News is a very
dynamic and powerful environment for application developers. Developer's
needing real-time news in mission critical applications can use the HRT
NewsKit and have the full functionality of the HRT News client in their
applications, with the addition of a single line of code. If developers need
to get closer to the data, the HRT NewsKit provides three layers of
abstraction, in order to supply the needed flexibility to get at the news,
with minimal effort.
HRT News will be available at the end of Q2, on any and all computers running
NeXTSTEP.
