- Product: Signature Program Ver 2.0
-
-
- Description:
-
- The Signature Program allows you to embed a signature object into a
- document created with another Windows application such as Word, Excel,
- Draw, Lotus Notes, or MS Mail. The signature object looks like your
- own hand-written signature, and can be printed or transmitted via E Mail
- and LAN connections as part of the document. Anyone receiving the
- document can verify the authenticity of your signature object by just
- double-clicking the signature image. This reactivates the Signature
- Program and checks who created the signature, if the signature is still
- valid, and if the signature object is still within its original document.
-
- Uses:
-
- Many organizations with local area networks (LANs) and electronic mail
- systems still find themselves using printed forms for mundane tasks such
- as expense reports, purchase orders, and price authorities. The problem
- is that there is no obvious way to replace paper where approval signatures
- are required. The Signature Program solves this problem by providing an
- easy way for one or more users to sign a document, and then forward it on
- to the next party.
-
- Requirements:
-
- The Signature Program runs under Windows 95, Windows 3.1+, Windows for
- Workgroups 3.1+, and Windows NT 3.5+. Signatures can be embedded in any
- document created by an application that supports OLE 1.0 or OLE 2.0
- (Object Linking and Embedding.) Essentially all major Windows applications
- support the OLE standard. The Signature program occupies about 650K of
- hard disk space. There are no special memory or hardware requirements
- beyond those of Windows.
-
- Cost:
-
- The single-user version cost is $40 in the USA and Canada, $44 elsewhere
- (covering airmail shipment costs.) This includes both the 16 bit and 32
- bit versions of the software and the illustrated userÆs manual.
-
- The multi-user version is available for $100 in the USA and Canada, $104
- elsewhere (covering airmail shipment costs.) This version provides a 10
- workstation license, and also adds the ability to have more than one person
- be able to sign from any single workstation. Administration of system
- password updates is also automated with this version. 16 bit and 32 bit
- versions of the software, administration utilities, and the illustrated
- userÆs guide and administratorÆs guide are also provided.
-
- Technical Information:
-
- The Signature Program takes advantage of OLE 2.0 technology to create
- intelligent signature objects. The objects include not only the bitmap
- image of a signature, but also encrypted authentication information. The
- result is an object that looks like a hand written signature, but which
- will activate security checking automatically if the signature is double-
- clicked with the mouse. The software is designed for LAN installations
- and E Mail use within a company. Typical applications include signing of
- expense reports, doctorÆs orders, shop floor requisitions, and all types
- of electronic forms. Software vendors can add signature capabilities to
- their products without modifying their program code, as the OLE technology
- automatically makes signatures available to any application that supports
- OLE.
