Bethesda, Maryland, September 27, 1994; The only telecommunication
package currently available for use with NEXTSTEP/HPPA is being
offered by TipTop software.
The main TipTop 1.0 features include:
- Easy to use GUI: Standard NEXTSTEP user interface features.
The terminal window features a toolbar, a scrollback buffer, a
find panel, changeable fonts, etc. Built-in PhoneBook and Inspector
facilitate easy and convenient configuration of the communication
parameters, window appearance, and other settings.
- Terminal Emulation: ANSI, VT102, and VT220, all including ANSI
color support.
- Serial Ports/Shells: Multiple serial (modem) port connections
and shell sessions. The UUCP locking protocol is used for serial
ports.
- Scripting: A powerful script programming language based on Tcl,
Expect, and Objective C! The automatic script generator makes
it easy to create basic scripts.
[Among other things, the scripting language can run ``term''
which is used to establish a SLIP-like connection to a remote
site. This allows several simultaneous terminal sessions to
be connected to a remote site, while files are transferred and
remote commands executed. One can even run remote X-window
clients connected to the local X-server.]
- File Transfer: Bundled transfer protocols include X-, Y-, and
ZMODEM. Any external transfer protocol can be used with TipTop.
In addition, transfer Application Programmers Interface (API) is
included and allows external transfer protocols to be fully
integrated graphically with TipTop.
- Key Bindings: Flexible keyboard mapping. Any key (with or
without combinations of the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift modifiers) can
be redefined as any character, string of characters, script, or
even as an Objective C message!
- And much, much more...
TipTop telecommunication software runs on Motorola, Intel, and HP
PA-RISC machines running NEXTSTEP 3.1 or higher. TipTop costs $185
+ S/H ($4 within US). The price includes a free upgrade.
TipTop 1.0 can be purchased directly from TipTop Software:
