- Digital Arts to develop Software for Acorn Publishing Platforms
-
- Digital Arts AG, the Swiss owned software development and publishing
- company, has entered into an agreement with Acorn Computers Ltd to develop
- professional software aimed at the printing, publishing and graphic design
- markets.
-
- The software will make full use of the ARM-based 32-bit RISC architecture
- and the RISC OS multitasking operating system of the Acorn Archimedes
- platforms.
-
- Simon Woodward, Acorn's Business Unit Manager for Professional Sales said "I
- am very pleased with the creation of this new partnership as it will further
- increase our portfolio of professional software to enable Acorn to increase
- its presence in this market. It will also add further value to the recently
- signed agreement with Kodak which will enable Acorn products to support
- Photo CD in the near future and it is quite possible that aspects of the
- Digital Arts technology will actually be integrated into the Acorn RISC OS
- multitasking operating system."
-
- Digital Arts AG has developed professional publishing software for both the
- Nextstep environment and Atari platforms. Among the authors working for the
- company are the teams that developed such industry standards as Didot
- Professional and Retouche Professional (CD), which are used by many hundreds
- of professional prepress and graphics design companies in Germany, Austria,
- Switzerland and the Benelux countries.
