PAGES SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES FIRST SHIPMENT OF PAGES 1.5
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 - SAN DIEGO, CA _ Pages Software today announced
it has begun world-wide shipment of Pages 1.5, a significant upgrade
from Pages by Pages 1.0, the company's premiere ObjectBased(tm)
word-processing application, which shipped last March.
Pages 1.5 is an ObjectBased word-processing solution that can range
from a single-user personal word-processor, to a complete
enterprise-wide document environment.
The new release of Pages contains many new features requested by
our customers, as well as modifications to the user interface to
make Pages easier to use. Larry Spelhaug, President and CEO of
Pages Software Inc says this of the new release, "We are listening
to customer feedback and are responding by improving our product
in ways that will make our users more productive." The results have
come quickly and are quite significant.
Pages 1.5 includes enhancements to the user interface that make
the product easier to use, and new features such as a Ruler, Speed
Bar, Keybindings, Tabs, the ability to specify font size and leading,
Mail Merge, enhanced word-processor filters, and an additional
Design Model.
"A revision of this significance would not have been possible to
do in a six-month time-frame without the underlying architecture
and tools the NEXTSTEP environment provides for us," states Jim
Hamerly, Pages' Vice President of Engineering. "While the first
rev of Pages didn't come out as quickly as we'd have liked,"
continues Hamerly, "time taken in properly architecting the product,
along with the tools available in the NEXTSTEP environment, allowed
us to quickly make significant improvements in our new release."
Pages is one of the few applications available today that was
designed entirely with objects from its inception.
Pages 1.5 is offered as a free upgrade to Pages 1.0 retail customers,
and will be sold for $49.00 as an educational upgrade. The product
lists at $595.00 for new customers, with an educational discount
to $195.00. Site license discounts are available.
Pages is sold through authorized resellers worldwide, as well as
directly from Pages Software Inc. Orders can be placed by calling
1-619-492-9050 or by sending e-mail to info@pages.com.
Pages is available for Motorola-, Intel- and HP PA-RISC-based
versions of NEXTSTEP. System requirements are NEXTSTEP 3.1 or higher
with a minimum of 20MB of hard disk space and 16MB of RAM. For
NEXTSTEP Intel, 1024 x 768 or greater resolution is recommended,

product is available initially on magnetic media, and will soon be

Pages Software Inc, based in San Diego, California, is a leading
developer of object-based productivity applications. Pages was
founded in June 1990, with the intent to lead the document processing
software industry with easy-to-use, productive solutions for all
levels of office professionals. The company's products, initially
