Digital Tool Works Announces Maintenance Release of EquationBuilder,
Adds Support for NEXTSTEP for HP PA-RISC and Open Object Embedding
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, September 30, 1994 - Digital Tool Works(TM) today
announced the availability of EquationBuilder(TM) 3.2v307, a
triple-FAT maintenance release designed to support NEXTSTEP(R) for
HP PA-RISC(TM) (HP-PA) and the Xanthus(TM) Open Object Embedding
(OOE) standard.
"We are pleased to renew our commitment to NEXTSTEP by adding support
for NEXTSTEP HP-PA with this release," said Terrence Talbot of
Digital Tool Works. "And we are extremely pleased to be among the
first vendors to support Xanthus's Open Object Embedding standard.
With support for both the %%Baseline directive and OOE, the combination
of EquationBuilder and Xanthus's new OpenWrite(TM) word processor
will provide users with a very powerful solution for writing technical
documentation. The level of integration between these applications
is doubly impressive."
This maintenance release is available via anonymous ftp from several archives.
ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/submissions/EquationBuilder3.2v307.tar
will be going to ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/demos/editors/EquationBuilder3.
2v307.tar
ftp://nova.cc.purdue.edu/pub/next/3.0/com/EquationBuilder3.2v307.tar
will be going to ftp://nova.cc.purdue.edu/pub/next/3.0/com/EquationBuilder3.
2v307.tar
This release has also been uploaded to ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de
under the name EquationBuilder3.2v307.tar.
As always, the ftp archive release of EquationBuilder(TM) 3.2v307
is a fully functional, fully documented demonstration version.
EquationBuilder licenses are available from several NEXTSTEP
resellers, including PCConnection, OpenSource, and Alembic Systems
International. Educational discounts are available. For information
regarding large network licenses, please contact Digital Tool Works
directly.
EquationBuilder remains the first and only fully WYSIWYG technical
equation editor for all hardware platforms that run NEXTSTEP. Using
a distributed, object-oriented approach to typesetting, EquationBuilder
expressions are dynamically recomposed each time the expression is
edited, assuring typographic consistency and professional quality
results. With EquationBuilder, mathematical expressions are easily
constructed from a palette of common elements such as Fractions,
Matrices, and Delimiters. Each element is an object and can be
inspected quickly, allowing you to change its form in obvious and
intuitive ways. EquationBuilder automatically follows standard
professional typesetting rules, although manual kerning of arbitrary
elements is also possible through inspectors.
EquationBuilder's intuitive graphical interface takes full advantage
of NEXTSTEP's object-oriented environment, offering true WYSIWYG
typesetting. Using Encapsulated PostScript(TM) as its native file
format, EquationBuilder expressions can easily be included in any
page layout or word processing application by simple drag-and-drop.
In addition, EquationBuilder fully supports NEXTSTEP, including
support for Object Links, filter services, and universal drag-and-drop.
EquationBuilder also features powerful and accurate translation to
the TEX(TM) typesetting language, giving TEX users a simple,
intuitive equation composition environment.
Digital Tool Works is a privately funded software start-up dedicated
to the development of productivity and authoring tools running under
NEXTSTEP. All trademarks mentioned belong to their respective owners.
