Lighthouse Design Ships Multiple Architecture Binary Versions of
Diagram! and Concurrence.
SAN MATEO, Calif., October 25, 1993 - Lighthouse Design, Ltd. today
announced the availability of multiple architecture binary (MAB)
versions of Diagram!, NEXTSTEP's, best-selling drawing program,
and Concurrence, NEXTSTEP's best-selling presentation program. Such
`fat' versions allow Diagram! and Concurrence to run unmodified on
Intel 486 and other compatible hardware supporting NEXTSTEP for
Intel Processors as well as on NeXT computers based on Motorola
processors.
"Customer interest in NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors has been
consistently building," said Wiley Hodges, Manager of Marketing
Operations at Lighthouse Design. "Consequently, we're seeing solid
demand for 'fat' versions of our products, from customers new to
NEXTSTEP as well as users who have been with us for a number of
years."
With the release of its Diagram! drawing program in 1990,
Lighthouse Design introduced its first productivity application for
NEXTSTEP. Diagram!'s intelligent drawing features quickly won
favor with business and technical users, automating many of the
more mundane tasks associated with "information illustration."
Diagram! has since grown to be one of the most widely used
applications in the NEXTSTEP environment. Lighthouse Design
followed in 1992 with the release of Concurrence, its presentation
and outlining application. Concurrence has seen similar success,
and is currently that market's best-selling presentation tool.
In April, Lighthouse Design released Diagram! version 2.0 to
critical acclaim, receiving four and a half of five cubes in its
NeXTWORLD Magazine review, and winning NeXTWORLD's annual Best of
Breed award in the business graphics category. Diagram! 2's
features were culled from thousands of suggestions received through
an electronic mail Suggestion Panel incorporated in Diagram! 1.0.
Intelligent drawing and drag and drop simplicity have made Diagram!
2 a hit with NEXTSTEP's business and technical users.
Concurrence similarly received four cubes, and was nominated
against Diagram! 2 for the Best of Breed award. First introduced in
1992, Concurrence stands up to the demands of a wide range of
applications, with integrated multi-media presentation features
ideal for on-line presentations delivered via electronic mail, 35mm
slide output, laptop handouts or stand-up presentations delivered
to concert hall crowds.
The new versions of Diagram! and Concurrence (Diagram! 2.1, and
Concurrence 1.2) require NEXTSTEP version 3.1 or later. In addition
to support for Intel Processors, Diagram! 2.1 includes minor
feature enhancements, including drag and drop color and text
underlining. Fat binary versions of Diagram! 2 and Concurrence are
available through NeXTConnection? and other NEXTSTEP resellers
worldwide. Corporate purchasers seeking network or site licenses
should contact Lighthouse Design, Ltd. directly at 1-800-366-2279
or 1-415-570-7736.
For current owners of Diagram! 2 and Concurrence, upgrades are
available through NeXTConnection (1-800-800-6398 or 1-603-446-3383)
for a nominal media fee.
