FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OBERON SOFTWARE RELEASES TE/2 PRO! VERSION 2.1
January 14, 1997, Mankato, MN - Oberon Software, Inc. today released
version 2.1 of it's flag ship product, TE/2 Pro! Oberon Software will
make a full featured demonstration version of the program publically
available later today and will begin shipping the new version on all
new orders immediately. Everyone who has purchased the prior version
of TE/2 Pro! is entitled to a free update which can be obtained either
electronically or by mail directly from Oberon Software.
TE/2 Pro! is Oberon Software's newest product; an 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.
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! include: Object Oriented User Interface,
Support for multiple, simultaneous sessions, Asynch, TCP/IP, and Named Pipe
support built in, and multiwindow chat and scroll back. This latest version
adds features which greatly simplify connecting to the Internet as well
as to standard, dialup connections, a new built-in diagnostic tool which
allows the user to continuously monitor the modem status, and several
problem resolutions.
Demonstration copies will be available on the company's BBS (507-388-1154)
and WorldWide Web page (http://prairie.lakes.com/~oberon). Oberon
Software will provide copies of the demonstration program on diskette
