FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OBERON SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES TE/2 PRO
November 10, 1995, Mankato, MN - Oberon Software announced today its plans
to release TE/2 Pro! Version 2. TE/2 Pro! is Oberon Software's new,
object-oriented, Workplace Shell aware, telecommunications program for
OS/2 Warp. TE/2 Pro!, based on the same telecommunications engine, file
transfer protocols, and terminal emulations as Oberon's very successful,
original TE/2, adds the desktop object behaviors and drag and drop
interfaces which OS/2 Warp users are used to while maintaining the
robustness and reliability of the original product.
TE/2 Pro! is currently in Pre-Release; anyone who purchases the latest
version of TE/2 is entitled to download the Pre-Release from Oberon
Software. Oberon plans to release TE/2 Pro! early in the first quarter
of 1996. The TE/2 Pro! package will include, in addition to the new
software, a full version of the original TE/2, which will be renamed
"TE/2 Classic", and is expected to have a suggested retail price of $129.
In addition to long-standing TE/2 features such as robust, high-speed
telecommunications support, seven terminal emulation modes, fast, reliable
file transfer protocols, and extensive REXX scripting capabilities, some
of the new features for TE/2 Pro! will include:
Object Oriented User Interface. Terminal sessions and dialing
directories appear as objects. These objects use standard OS/2 notebook
controls for their settings, may be opened in various views, dragged to
the printer or shredder as OS/2 users would expect. Dialing directory
entries can be copied or moved easily between directories or dialed by
simply dragging them to a terminal object.
Support for multiple, simultaneous sessions. One invocation of TE/2
Pro! can support a virtually unlimited number of terminal sessions.
Terminal objects which do not compete for the same device may be active
simultaneously.
Asynch, TCP/IP, and Named Pipe support built in. Any terminal object
may be set to access a modem port, a TCP/IP socket (if the user has
TCP/IP installed), or a Named Pipe server.
Multiwindow chat and scrollback. Rather than the split-screen and/or
"modal" ways of handling these features, TE/2 Pro! uses standard OS/2
windows which can be sized, moved, retained, or closed as the user
desires. Of course, copy and paste via the OS/2 clipboard is available
throughout.
Oberon Software has been developing OS/2 software and providing OS/2
related services since 1988. More than just a specialty, OS/2 related
products and services are Oberon Software's only business. Other Oberon
products include FSHL - Oberon Software's Alternative Command Line
Executive, DiskStat, LstPM, and the Commpak/2 Programmer's Toolkit for
creating telecommunications routines under OS/2. In addition, Oberon
Software has developed unique, OS/2 based solutions for a number of major
corporations in the banking and communication industries.
