- ON Technology, Inc. Ships On Location™ 2.0
- for the Apple® Macintosh® Computer
-
-
- CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 11, 1991—ON Technology, Inc. today began shipping
- version 2.0 of its award-winning On Location software, a Macintosh desk
- accessory that dramatically reduces the time it takes to find and view files.
- On Location 2.0 offers significant enhancements and new features, including
- System 7.0 compatibility.
-
- On Location indexes the name and text of files on any volume, including hard
- disks, network servers, diskettes and CD-ROMs. Feedback from hundreds of
- existing users was incorporated into version 2.0. The new features include
- searching for numbers in files, searching with AND or OR, printing and copying
- the file list, significant interface refinements, System 7.0 compatibility and
- user-defined timing for background indexing. On Location 2.0 is even faster
- than the original version.
-
- “The key benefit of On Location is the speed and ease with which you can find
- words and numbers within files in addition to finding by file name,” said Kim
- Agricola, product manager for On Location. “As you type a few words or a
- phrase in its search window, On Location immediately begins looking for your
- file.”
-
- On Location has a large and loyal customer base. A partial list of companies
- who have purchased On Location includes BP International, Exxon, Monsanto,
- Eastman Kodak, Mitre, The New York Times, Lockheed, and NASA.
-
- “I can’t begin to tell you how much easier it is to work on my Mac. On
- Location lets me find files by what I know they’re about, rather than by what I
- think I called them. Instead of rummaging through folders I can search,
- select, and open my files quickly and painlessly from On Location,” said Paul
- Hurley, director of computer systems at McDonough, Holland & Allen in
- Sacramento.
-
- On Location 2.0 includes an XTND file translator to view files created by
- Instant Update™, ON’s new collaborative application for Macintosh networks that
- helps groups of people communicate with unprecedented ease and effectiveness
- through live documents.
-
- On Location supports Apple Events, a new feature of System 7 that allows
- different applications to communicate with each other, allowing each to take
- advantage of the features and strengths of the others. On Location Apple
- Events will allow other programs to access the power of On Location’s search
- capabilities.
-
- “We believe On Location delivers more value than any other utility, because
- you’ll use it more than all the rest of your utilities put together,” said
- Agricola. “Anyone with a hard disk, network server or CD-ROM drive should own a
- copy.”
-
- “I have over 300 Mb of files on my Mac. Before On Location I found myself
- looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack five or six times a day,” said
- David Edwards, lead AppleTalk engineer at Cisco Systems in Menlo Park. “I
- consider On Location a vital tool in my system.”
-
- Customers that purchased On Location on or after July 29, 1991 are eligible for
- a free upgrade to version 2.0 with proof of purchase. On Location’s suggested
- retail price is $129.95. Registered 1.0 users can order the upgrade for
- $20.00, plus $5.00 for shipping and handling by calling ON Technology at (800)
- 926-5530. As with all of ON’s products, On Location comes with a one-year
- money-back guarantee.
