=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Vienna, Austria - August 16, 1999 -- Objective Development announces
the release of Sharity 2, the second major release of their CIFS/SMB
client software. Sharity mounts shares exported with the Microsoft
Windows networking protocol in the filesystem of Unix clients.
The new version adds browsing (known as "Network Neighborhood" on
Windows), a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuration and
password dialogs and better compatibility to existing servers to
the functionality of Sharity 1. Browsing and the GUI are the key
features which make Sharity 2 as easy to manage as a Windows client.
Many administrators prefer Sharity over an NFS server for
Windows because it's faster, it's cheaper, it's easier to
administer and because nothing has to be installed on the server.
For software developers, Sharity is more than just an application.
The new modularized structure allows easy addition of other
filesystem extensions as a module. The CIFS module has a well
defined interface which allows easy integration into other
applications. Licenses for reuse of the CIFS module or the Sharity
framework code are available on request.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS:
* Almost no administration required. Workgroup name and WINS server
are the only required settings.
* High performance: On reasonably fast CPUs Sharity can get close
to the theoretical performance limit of the network or server.
* Sharity has a browsing facility modelled after the "Network
Neighborhood" known from Microsoft Windows clients.
* Avoids the security flaws of NFS.
* Is compatible with national character sets. Sharity works with
Unicode internally and allows translation even to Asian multi-byte
character sets.
* Source code is available for no additional cost!
TARGET PLATFORMS:
Sharity runs on the following Unix platforms:
AIX
BSDI
FreeBSD
HP-UX
IRIX (SGI)
Linux
MacOS X Server and MacOS X (Apple)
NetBSD
NEXTSTEP, Openstep/Mach
OpenBSD
OSF/1 (DEC Unix, Compaq Tru64 Unix)
Solaris
SunOS
Unixware (SCO)
Sharity has been tested with the following servers:
AppleShare IP 6.2 (*)
FacetWin (*)
OS/2 (*)
Samba
Windows 95 and 98
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (*)
Windows NT
(*) These server platforms have not been stress-tested. Only basic
interoperability such as copying of files is guaranteed to work.
PRICE
To achieve a competitive price for all applications, Sharity is
available in basically two pricing models: It can be licensed by
the number of client installations or by the number of servers
which can be connected. Here's an excerpt from Sharity's pricing
table, the full table can be found at
http://www.obdev.at/Products/SharityPrice.html:
Number of Clients | Number of Servers | Price in US$
--------------------+-------------------+--------------
1 | 1 | 99.00
1 | unlimited | 199.00
2 | unlimited | 325.00
5 | unlimited | 615.00
unlimited | 1 | 249.00
unlimited | 2 | 465.00
Sharity is free for educational use (up to 20 clients) and for
students (up to 2 servers and 2 clients).
AVAILABILITY:
Sharity 2.0 is available now. A fully licensable demo can be
downloaded from http://www.obdev.at/Products/Sharity.html. Licenses
can be bought directly from Objective Development; see
http://www.obdev.at/Products/SharityPrice.html for more details

What is it?
- -----------
FXPy is a Python extension module which provides an interface to the
FOX cross-platform GUI library. With a few minor exceptions, FXPy
provides a complete interface to FOX. FOX is a C++-based toolkit for
developing graphical user interfaces easily and effectively. Some of
the significant features of FOX include:
* A rich set of widgets (including dials, shutters, tree lists,
and many other "modern" widgets).
* Powerful but easy-to-use layout managers.
* Extensive support for 3-D modeling using OpenGL or Mesa.
* Supports the XDND protocol for drag-and-drop.
* Registry for persistent application settings.
* Runs natively under Unix/X and Microsoft Windows.
* And much, much more!
Please see the FOX home page (URL listed above) for more details about
the FOX library's features. Also consider subscribing to the fox-users
mailing list for the latest news about FOX development; again, see the
FOX home page for information on this.
