Toronto, Ontario--08 NOV 91: SoftArc Inc. today announced availability of
Release 1.6 of FirstClass, their popular Electronic Mail, Conferencing, and
Bulletin Board System.
The FirstClass system offers a completely graphical user interface which
conforms fully to Macintosh guidelines and will run on any Macintosh with one
Megabyte of memory or more. The user interface is public domain, and may be
freely distributed. The FirstClass server will run on any Macintosh and will
support up to 48 concurrent users when run on larger machines.
Release 1.6 has numerous new features, including multi-user real-time chat,
message history tracking, electronic forms, improved user preferences, and
system monitoring tools. By incorporating both E-Mail and Conferencing,
FirstClass combines the strengths of both traditional E-Mail systems and of
newer Conferencing systems into one consistent package.
One of the key features of FirstClass is its ability to support access to both
E-Mail and Conferencing via Local Area Network (LAN) and modem. This means that
companies may install a single system to integrate LAN E-Mail with a Bulletin
Board that users connect to via modem. This is ideal for customer support
systems, typesetting bureaus, school boards, and any other sites where users
must access E-Mail systems from remote locations. Novice users will find the
FirstClass User Interface easy-to-use and intuitive.
In addition, Release 1.6 of FirstClass has improved multi-lingual support, and
localized versions of FirstClass Release 1.6 will soon be available for Japan
and several European countries.
Users with non-Macintosh computers may use any VT-100 or ANSI compatible
terminal emulator to access FirstClass, if the server has the Command Line User
Interface installed, a $295.00 option.
Release 1.6 also offers new, lower pricing. The pricing structure has two
classes of users: Regular users may access the system via either LAN or modem,
and are available in packs ranging from a 5 user pack (at $295.00) to a 100
user pack (at $2495.00). In addition, Release 1.6 also provides for Telecom
Only users, who may only access the system via modem. Prices for Telecom Only
users are significantly lower, ranging from a 100 user pack (at $295.00) to a
1000 user pack (at $1395.00). Telecom User packs are ideal for sites that
require large number of occasional users, common in applications such as
typesetting houses, customer support systems, and bulletin boards. Special user
group pricing is also available.
