NetManage ChameleonNFS/X Delivers Application, File System and IntraNet
Integration to UNIX Systems

Comprehensive Desktop to UNIX Access Solution Reduces Complexity and Overall Cost for
Windows 3.1x, Windows 95 and Windows NT Users

CUPERTINO, Calif. - August 27, 1996 - NetManage, the leading supplier of standards-based IntraNet solutions, today announced ChameleonNFS/X, the industry's most comprehensive cross-Windows host and server access client. ChameleonNFS/X, part of the new Chameleon ATX product family also announced today, is targeted at cross-Windows desktop users who need to access NFS and FTP servers and/or who wish to access all points addressable UNIX applications.

ChameleonNFS/X integrates NFS, FTP, LPR, LPD, X server, TN3270E, TN5250 and the full complement of Telnet emulation, including VT340 and VT420, all into a comprehensive product easily accessed utilizing the new GO! IntraNet single point of integration. The GO! IntraNet button significantly increases ease-of-navigation to applications and information on the IntraNet and eliminates the time and frustration spent looking for the correct application.

"ChameleonNFS/X is ideally tailored for our IntraNet strategy, which consists of a mix of Sun and Microsoft Windows NT platforms," said Jim Richardson, network administrator at Windsor Manufacturing. "ChameleonNFS/X provided us with a one stop solution for all of our UNIX-to-Windows connectivity and information access needs."

ChameleonNFS/X simplifies information access with a seamless, single vendor, standards-based solution by integrating Chameleon's industry-leading terminal emulation (TN3270/TN5250/TNVT), easy-to-use file and print sharing, NetManage's world class X-server and latest X11R6.1 X Windows emulation, the industry's leading standards-based e-mail product (Z-Mail Pro), an easy-to-use discussion group and news viewer, NetManage's Internet access tools, including WebSurfer and the new Internet Viewer, and a widely used desktop whiteboarding and videoconferencing application.

Additionally, ChameleonNFS/X has as a foundation Chameleon's cutting-edge network infrastructure tools and protocols, including multiple SNMP Super Agents to enable remote desktop support, and NetManage's Policy Management Architecture (PMA) components. PMA is a significant addition that allows network administrators to assign network communication priorities and access controls from one central point -- a capability required for loaded networks and well received by third party vendors and industry analysts.

ChameleonNFS/X includes NetManage's ActiveX Controls, including HTTP, HTML, SMTP, POP, FTP and WinSock, along with numerous Visual Basic and Borland Delphi scripting tools, for implementing time-saving automation techniques for completing repetitive and complex tasks, thereby greatly improving user productivity.

As an important element of the ChameleonNFS/X suite, NetManage's Z-Mail Pro supports in-line HTML viewing/composition with embedded graphics, different fonts and hypertext, which allows users to jump from an e-mail message to a Web page without leaving their e-mail message. Additionally, Z-Mail Pro enables local and remote message storage using the industry standard IMAP4 protocol to collect and save messages at the IntraNet server for easier backup, features Indexed Search to make it easier to search and find text inside email messages or web pages, and includes Secure e-mail for private key encryption.

Pricing and Availability

ChameleonNFS/X will be available starting on October 1, 1996 for Window, Windows 95 and Windows NT for a list price of US $400. An early ship version will be offered for an introductory price of US $299 through September 30, 1996. In addition, an aggressive competitive upgrade program called "IntraTrade" is also in effect through September 30, 1996. Please visit http:// www.netmanage.com for more information on IntraTrade.
