- For Immediate Release
-
- ANDERSON FINANCIAL SYSTEMS INTRODUCES READUP
-
- Universal document inspection and indexing available soon for NEXTSTEP
-
- SPRINGHOUSE, PENNSYLVANIA, June 19, 1995 -- Anderson Financial
- Systems Inc. today introduced ReadUp(tm), a breakthrough utility
- that will allow NEXTSTEP users to view, print, and index all types
- of documents from other platforms.
-
- "Document interchange has been a vital concern for NEXTSTEP
- users,because so many popular document applications from other
- platforms have not been ported," said Gregory H. Anderson, Founder
- and CEO of AFS. "Multimedia mail loses value when you can't open the
- documents people send you. In addition, Digital Librarian is limited
- if you can't browse Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, AmiPro, and other
- documentsfrom non-NEXTSTEP areas of your organization. ReadUp is a
- must-haveutility that makes this possible."
-
- ReadUp document windows are fully integrated with the NEXTSTEP
- Workspace, Mail, and Librarian applications. In fact, ReadUp documents
- look like standard Librarian document windows. A simple double-click
- on a File Viewer, Mail message, or Librarian browser opens the
- selected document and finds the first occurrence of any specified
- keyword. Filters are provided to extract the text from documents
- for indexing and instantaneous searches. In addition, selected text
- in a ReadUp document window can be relayed back to Librarian for
- further searches in other documents.
-
- Because ReadUp is derived from WriteUp(tm), AFS's popular word
- processing application, it retains all page formatting attributes
- such as headers, footers, page numbers, and fixed-position
- graphics. Users can browse, print, and copy RTF/RTFD for use in Mail
- and other applications, but the original documents cannot be
- modified.
-
- The commercial price of ReadUp 1.0 will be $100 for a single user,
- $50 for each additional user at a site. Students and other academic users
- who download the application electronically can acquire a single
- copy for $50.
-
- ReadUp 1.0 is now in final beta testing and will ship in July. In
- the meantime, further information and complete specifications can
- be obtained by sending email to ReadUp@afs.com.
