OBERON SOFTWARE RELEASES TE/2 PRO! VERSION 2.1
January 14, 1997, Mankato, MN - Oberon Software, Inc. today released version
2.1 of its flag ship product, TE/2 Pro! Oberon Software will make a full
featured demonstration version of the program publicly available later today
and will begin shipping the new version on all new orders immediately.
Everyone who has purchased the prior version of TE/2 Pro! is entitled to a
free update which can be obtained either electronically or by mail directly
from Oberon Software.
TE/2 Pro! is Oberon Software's newest product; an object-oriented, Workplace
Shell aware, telecommunications program for OS/2 Warp. TE/2 Pro!, based on
the same telecommunications engine, file transfer protocols, and terminal
emulations as Oberon's very successful, original TE/2, adds the desktop object
behaviors and drag and drop interfaces which OS/2 Warp users are used to while
maintaining the robustness and reliability of the original product.
In addition to long-standing TE/2 features such as robust, high-speed
telecommunications support, seven terminal emulation modes, fast, reliable
file transfer protocols, and extensive REXX scripting capabilities, some of
the new features for TE/2 Pro! include: Object Oriented User Interface,
Support for multiple, simultaneous sessions, Asynch, TCP/IP, and Named Pipe
support built in, and multiwindow chat and scroll back. This latest version
adds features which greatly simplify connecting to the Internet as well as to
standard, dialup connections, a new built-in diagnostic tool which allows the
user to continuously monitor the modem status, and several problem
resolutions.
Demonstration copies will be available on the company's BBS (507-388-1154) and
WorldWide Web page (http://prairie.lakes.com/~oberon). Oberon Software will
provide copies of the demonstration program on diskette by request. Licensing
for TE/2 Pro! is $79 per copy or per workstation and is available directly
through Oberon Software, from Indelible Blue, Inc., BMT Micro, Inc., IBM
Desktop Direct, and Norloff's OS/2 BBS. Registered users of TE/2 Pro! may use
this new demonstration version to update their registered copies of the
program; their registration will carry forward to release the demonstration
version of its restrictions.
