For Immediate Release
ANDERSON FINANCIAL SYSTEMS RELEASES WRITEUP 1.1
Major release of popular NEXTSTEP word processing application
SPRINGHOUSE, PA, July 29, 1994 - Anderson Financial
Systems Inc. today announced that WriteUp 1.1, an upgrade to its
full-featured, low-cost native word processor for NEXTSTEP, is
shipping.
"We spent much of our time improving performance and
reliability," said Gregory H. Anderson, Founder and CEO of AFS,
"but this release also adds a series of frequently requested
features like mail merge, columns, and an API that gives
programmers access to the WriteUp feature set. The beta test
group included more than 100 people, including many 1.0 users,
so we have a high level of confidence in this release."
In addition to mail merge and columns, various forms of
underlining, redlining and strike-out are now supported as text
attributes. Redlining also provides a means to process the
modified document, removing struck-out passages and inserting
redlined passages, with one keystroke. Other notable new features
include: updating date and time markers, visible text markers for
tabs and spaces, NeXT-style word selection, item "locking" to
prevent accidental modifications to document elements, and a
special "screen/printer" toggle that makes documents easier to
read on screen while retaining WriteUp's excellent typography on
paper.
RTF importing and exporting have experienced major
improvements, including the ability to interchange RTFD (text with
embedded graphics) seamlessly with other applications like Mail
and Edit. And the Igor document service has been changed into a
standard filter service that now includes the ability to read
WordPerfect 5.x documents.
Registered users of WriteUp 1.0 will receive free upgrades
to 1.1. New copies can be ordered at a price of US $295 (US $149
student) + shipping and handling. There is also a 5-pack license
available for US$1,195. A 30-day evaluation version, which is
fully enabled and includes a user manual, can be purchased from
AFS for US$20. This price is not refundable, but it is fully
applicable towards eventual purchase. In addition, an electronic
demo version will be available for FTP access from the Stepwise
server in early August.
WriteUp 1.1 ships MAB for Motorola and Intel hardware; a
beta HP PA-RISC version is available from AFS by request. AFS has
committed to shipping a final HP release within 30 days after NeXT
and HP release the final version of that OS.
