- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- SWITCH-IT! - A MULTI-APPLICATION SWITCHER FOR THE APPLE IIGS
-
- Littleton, CO, December 25, 1992 -- Procyon Enterprises, Inc. of
- Littleton, Colorado announced today that they have released
- Switch-It!, an extension to Apple Computer, Inc.'s GS/OS, that
- brings Macintosh MultiFinder style capabilities to the Apple
- IIGS. Switch-It! allows the user to load any number of desktop
- programs (limited only by main memory) and switch between them
- instantly. The addition of this important new ability makes the
- Apple IIGS computer one of the most versatile and cost effective
- personal computers on the market today.
-
- Switch-It! is fully compatible with the most popular
- applications for the IIGS, including AppleWorks GS, Platinum
- Paint, DreamGrafix, Medley, Finder, GraphicWriter III, HyperCard
- and HyperStudio, and many more. Matt Gudermuth, President of
- Procyon, Inc., said "For anyone who finds themselves moving
- between a lot of different GS/OS desktop programs, you'll save
- an amazing amount of time. Switch-It! allowed us to produce the
- documentation in roughly half the time it normally takes.
- Switch-It! is the perfect way to increase your productivity."
-
- Switch-It! is closely integrated with System Software 6.0 via
- its Inter-Application Communication features, turning the plain
- IIGS Finder into a MultiFinder. "When you launch a program from
- the Finder, the Finder remains resident. This not only greatly
- speeds up launching and quitting, but means the Finder is always
- handy in the event one needs to format a disk or do other Finder
- operations from another program.", Jawaid Bazyar, Vice-President
- and Chief Technical Officer, explained. "With Switch-It!, those
- long periods waiting for a program to load or for a program to
- quit back to the Finder are gone. This is especially beneficial
- to users without hard disk drives.", Mr. Bazyar continued.
- "Switch-It! also makes cutting and pasting between applications
- quick and easy."
-
- Switch-It! is fully compatible with and requires GS/OS System
- 6.0. It comes with several desk accessories that help exploit
- the power of switching technology. Switch-It! also comes with
- Apple IIGS Installer scripts, so putting Switch-It! on a hard
- drive is a simple operation. Product support is provided by
- telephone and online through InterNet, America Online, GEnie,
- and Delphi.
-
- Switch-It! has a list price of just $79.95 and will be available
- from mail order houses by the third week of January. For more
- detailed information, contact Procyon Enterprises, Inc. - P.O.
- Box 620334 - Littleton, CO 80162-0334 - (303) 933-4649.
- Distributors please contact Sequential Systems - 1200 Diamond
