Publishing 2.0!
DENVER, COLORADO - October 3, 1994. OpenSource, Inc. today announced
an agreement with FirstClass NV to sell Tailor Office 2.0 and Tailor
Publishing 2.0 worldwide.
"I believe Tailor is of major importance to the NEXTSTEP third-party
software market. It provides a significant capability that can be
found on no other platform, making it a true keystone solution"
says Matthew Moran, President of OpenSource.
According to Peter Camps, CEO of FirstClass NV, "OpenSource is a
great resource for NEXTSTEP users. They are a single source for
NEXTSTEP specific software and hardware. We felt that it was only
natural that they represent our Tailor family of PostScript editing
products."
