Press Release: Sundial Systems to Publish Clearlook Word Processor
A Bright Future for Clearlook
April 2, 1996, Seal Beach, CA - Sundial Systems Corporation and Clearlook
Corporation today announced that Sundial Systems has become the publisher of
the Clearlook Word Processor.
"This means that Clearlook has a bright future with continued development and
support ensured. Sundial has a long-standing reputation of commitment and
success in the OS/2 market," noted Helmut Gassner of Clearlook Corporation.
Under the agreement, Sundial Systems has assumed all publishing, marketing and
distribution responsibilities for the Clearlook Word Processor. Thus all
existing Clearlook customers have become Sundial Systems customers, and
existing orders and warranty obligations for Clearlook are being honored by
Sundial. Clearlook Corporation will continue development and the two
companies will work together to insure that future versions of Clearlook
respond to customer needs and address the on-going dynamics of the OS/2 word
processing market.
"Sundial has long been a leader in exploiting the industry's most advanced
technologies that are included in OS/2 Warp," said John Soyring, Vice
President of IBM Personal Software Products. "With Sundial's leadership, I
expect they will bring valuable new features to the OS/2 word processing
market as well."
Sundial Systems has already assumed technical support responsibility for all
English-language versions of Clearlook and the support policies for Clearlook
remain unchanged. Sundial has added Clearlook to its support area on
Compuserve. Additional support options are planned for future availability.
"The tradition of quality technical support for all of Sundial's customers
remains unchanged -- whether they are using Relish or Clearlook. While we are
still getting up to speed on the more sophisticated aspects of Clearlook, and
thus might not have all the answers as quickly as we would like, we have been
preparing to support the Clearlook customer base for some time" said Rollin
White of Sundial Systems.
Sundial Systems will shortly make available a new version of Clearlook which
has been "rebranded" as a Sundial product - "Clearlook from Sundial Systems."
This version (1.7) will replace the version currently available in the channel
and will be the subject of a future announcement.
Work is also progressing on Version 2.0 of Clearlook which is planned for
availability later this year. Over time, Sundial Systems also plans to
integrate portions of its Relish product family with portions of Clearlook to
produce some exciting new products targeted toward specific solutions to
customer needs.
"With this announcement, we'd like to welcome the existing Clearlook community
to the Sundial Systems family. Our commitment to the OS/2 market started in
1987, continues today, and is accelerating into the future," remarked Carla
Hanzlik, Vice President of Sundial Systems.
