San Diego, CA, Pages Software today announced it has begun
world-wide shipment of Pages 1.5, a significant upgrade from
Pages by Pages(tm) 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,
SpeedBar, 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
it's 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, with a
minimum of 20MB of hard disk space and 16MB of RAM. The product is
available initially on magnetic media, and will soon be released
on CD-ROM .
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 available on NEXTSTEP, are planned for
multiple computer platforms and operating systems.
