Second "Java for OS/2 and OS/2 for Java" Initiative Announced
J Street Mailer Discussed
Harrison, New York, January 17, 1998, InnoVal Systems Solutions announced
today the second in a series of "Java for OS/2 and OS/2 for Java"
initiatives to promote Java in the OS/2 community and the information
technology community at-large. InnoVal is encouraging all OS/2 users and
developers to join the Java Lobby, an organization the supports and promotes
Java. To encourage people to sign-up, InnoVal is offering free single-user
licenses for its very popular and successful Hacksaw utility to all members
of the Java Lobby. In effect, the license is a "paid up" shareware
registration by virtue of the fact that a person is a member of the
organization. The normal price for individual Hacksaw licenses is $29.95.
Hacksaw, though not yet available as a Java product, is available for both
OS/2 and Windows 95/NT. An excellent review of the product appears in the
December issue of OS/2 e-Zine at http://www.os2ezine.com/v2n12/hacksaw.htm.
More information may be found on InnoVal's home page,
http://www.innoval.com.
"After our very successful demonstration of J Street Mailer in New York City
last Wednesday, I was discussing the Java Lobby and why I think it is an
important organization," said Dan Porter, President of InnoVal Systems
Solutions. "Someone suggested that if I thought that the Java Lobby was so
important, I should give away promotional copies of the mailer to everyone
who joins. I wish I could. J Street Mailer, a 100% pure Java email client,
is going to be a flagship product for us. We expect to be every bit as
successful with our Java mailer as we have been with our best selling Post
Road Mailer for OS/2. What I can do, however, is offer a free single-user
license for Hacksaw to all members of the Java Lobby."
The free single-user license does not extend to commercial use of the
product. Site and quantity license for Hacksaw are available for business
use.
InnoVal unveiled the J Street Mailer at a meeting of the New York City PC
Club's OS/2 SIG on January 14. Dan Porter, InnoVal's president, demonstrated
the product to a packed audience. "I can't recall doing a more successful
demo," said Porter. "The next day, someone posted a message in one of the
newsgroups. It read in part: =91I am here to tell you it will be the best
email program, bar none. I could not believe the features in it. ... you
will need to see it to believe how quick and fast (it was) ... Man it was
impressive and if they could do that I can't wait to see what other
companies will write in Java.' It felt good to read that review from someone
who was there. My gut feel is that everyone in the room felt that
way."Additional information about J Street Mailer may be found on InnoVal's
Home Page. =
The Java Lobby is free. It takes only a minute to register at
http://www.javalobby.org. Members should then go to
http://www.innoval.com/javalobby.htm to obtain a free license for Hacksaw.
"There are almost 11,000 members in the Java Lobby," said Porter. "With a
concerted effort from the OS/2 community, we could easily double that
number." =
