System 7 Pro -- Product Description
Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
System 7 Pro empowers you to work your best both individually and with
others. By providing System 7, PowerTalk, AppleScript, and QuickTime software
in one package, it helps you streamline your work and communicate with your
colleagues more effectively.
PowerTalk allows you to correspond and work with others using built-in mail
and collaboration services. Use your modem or an AppleTalk network to send
messages of any type--including text, images, video, and sound--to other
System 7 Pro users.
With PowerTalk, you can send an item from your desktop by dragging and
dropping its icon onto an information-card icon for the recipient. You use
this same simple method whether you’re sending the item to other PowerTalk
recipients or using personal gateway software provided by other vendors to
reach fax or other electronic-mail destinations.
Incoming mail items arrive in a single universal mailbox directly on the
Macintosh desktop. Items can be opened, copied to folders, and otherwise
manipulated just as you would any other desktop objects.
PowerTalk also lets you create catalogs of information that facilitate your
collaboration with others, from simple address lists to collections of images
or sounds.
The PowerTalk “key chain” lets you protect and access your mailbox, AppleShare
volumes, and other services using a single access code. Commercial-grade
electronic-signature support is provided via PowerTalk’s DigiSign software.
AppleScript is a system-level “macro” language that lets any user invoke
pre-scripted automated tasks with the click of a button. With AppleScript,
you can use your favorite off-the-shelf applications to create powerful,
cost-effective custom solutions.
QuickTime is Apple’s industry-leading multimedia technology. It lets you
view, copy, and paste video, animation, images, and sound as easily as you
manipulate text.
