FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sarrus Announces Pencil Me In 1.2 Support for NEXTSTEP for PA-RISC
Competitive Upgrade Program and International Versions Available
FOSTER CITY, Calif., June 21, 1994 __ Sarrus Software, Inc. today announced
that the upcoming release of Pencil Me Ini, its popular group scheduling
application for NEXTSTEP, will run on NEXTSTEP for PA-RISC. The new release,
Pencil Me In 1.2, will be available in German-, French-, and Swedish-language
versions and will support European date and time fomats, including 24-hour
time. Pencil Me In 1.2 is scheduled to ship in mid-August. Sarrus also
announced a competitive upgrade program for users of other group scheduling
products on NEXTSTEP, along with details of its upgrade
program for current Pencil Me In customers.
"Demand for our products in Europe has been steadily increasing, and we are
happy to be responsive to our customers' requests," said Andrew K. Turk,
president of Sarrus. "We're also pleased to make Pencil Me In available for
NEXTSTEP for PA-RISC users."
Competitive Upgrade Program
Through August 31, 1994, registered owners of qualifying competitive group
scheduling products on NEXTSTEP can upgrade to Pencil Me In for only $49.95 per
user. Qualifying competitive products include OnDutyi, What's Happening?i,
Who's Calling?i, and many Windows-based products. Contact the company for
information.
About Pencil Me In
Pencil Me In, the leading group scheduling application for NEXTSTEP systems,
combines a powerful, scalable, network-ready architecture with an easy,
intuitive calendar interface. It enables users to integrate personal and
group scheduling in enterprise computing environments. For example, users can
schedule one-time or repeating appointments, track action items, share
calendars over a network and use group calendars to schedule meetings in a
single operation.
About the Pencil Me In API
The Pencil Me In API is a software library that gives custom applications the
ability to launch and control the Pencil Me In application; create and work
with Pencil Me In calendars, appointments, and action items; and set calendar
access levels for Pencil Me In users. Because of this close integration and
because of Pencil Me In's powerful, multi-user architecture, networked users
of both Pencil Me In and custom applications can operate on the same calendar
files without interruption or corruption of scheduling data.
System Requirements
Pencil Me In 1.2 and the Pencil Me In API require NEXTSTEP 3.1 or higher for
Intel Processors, NEXTSTEP 3.1 or higher for NeXT Computers, or NEXTSTEP 3.2 for
PA-RISC. Pencil Me In 1.2 is a Multiple Architecture Binary, and the same
version runs unmodified on any of these three systems.
Pricing, Availability, API Licensing, and Upgrades
For a limited time, Sarrus is offering a special promotional price for Pencil
Me In. Through August 31, 1994, customers can purchase Pencil Me In for only
$225 per user and save 25% off the regular price. When Pencil Me In 1.2 is
released, customers who have purchased Pencil Me In 1.1 under this program will
automatically be upgraded to Pencil Me In 1.2 at no additional cost.
Registered owners of Pencil Me In will receive the upgrade to 1.2 automatically
at no additional cost. Owners of Pencil Me In who have not yet registered
