Product Announcement
DataMirage Software is announcing the release version of
LiveWire 3.1 for the WorkPlace Shell.
LiveWire 3.1 for the WorkPlace Shell is an object-
oriented 32-bit multi-threaded professional communications
program for OS/2 Warp 3.0.
LiveWire 3.1 retains the great features of the text
mode version of LiveWire (version 2.2) along with
a set of new features and an excellent new interface.
Truly object-oriented, LiveWire is a collection of
familiar WorkPlace objects (Terminal, Phone Book,
and Log) that interact loosely. More than one terminal,
phone book, and log object with its own settings can be
created and in use on your desktop!
LiveWire's intuitive and elegant interface allows you
to get online right away. Advanced users will find
extremely pleasing the fully multi-threaded GUI.
