J Street Mailer Enhanced - Release Three Now Available,
Adds Support for IBM's New Enhanced Java 1.1.6.
Harrison, NY, June 24, 1998 InnoVal Systems Solutions announced today that
Release Three of J Street Mailer is now available for Charter Users and new
customers.
"This new version was necessitated by IBM's release of Java 1.1.6 for OS/2,"
said Dan Porter, President of InnoVal. "We had planned to release a new
production version later this summer, after adding some features requested
by our customers. But with the new release of Java 1.1.6 from IBM, we
decided to move the schedule up so that OS/2 users could benefit from IBM's
new code. Java 1.1.6 and Release Three is an awesome combination for email
with OS/2, Windows NT, or Windows 95."
IBM released an enhanced version of Java for OS/2 Warp on June 19. IBM's
Java 1.1.6 provides the latest Java capabilities for Warp Server, WorkSpace
on Demand, and OS/2 Warp. A version of Java 1.1.6 for Windows 95 and Windows
NT 4.0 is also available from Sun Microsystems. J Street Mailer may also be
used on Linux, Solaris, MacOS and other operating systems that support Java.
WHAT IS NEW IN RELEASE THREE
For those running OS/2, J Street Mailer allows a user to invoke the Netscape
Navigator or the HotJava Browser by clicking on web page links in email. It
will also support the Netscape Communicator 4 for OS/2 Warp and the Opera
Browser for OS/2 when those products are released. Windows users may use
Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator, Microsoft's Internet Explorer or
other 32-bit Windows browsers. J Street Mailer also provides two integrated
browsers, the HotJava Component Bean and the ICE Browser Bean, for viewing
web links and HTML formatted email messages.
Release Three includes a new feature that allows quoted pasting of text from
the clipboard. This is useful for people who want to quote text from another
source such as a web page or a word processor document. With this feature
you can even quote an article from the DejaNews or HotBot web site and post
a reply through your own news server without using a news reader. J Street
Mailer is smart enough to put header information into the right places and
maintain message threading integrity in the newsgroups.
AVAILABILITY
Release Three is available now. The price for J Street Mailer is $49.00 USD.
Students and Java Lobby members are eligible for discounts. InnoVal offers
its customers a full year of free upgrade protection when they purchase the
J Street Mailer.
InnoVal has instituted a unique approach for incrementally improving J
Street Mailer. The product is in a constant state of improvement with
frequent beta releases. Customers are invited to recommend improvements and
participate in open discussions with the company through a very active
mailing list. Periodically, InnoVal releases a production (gold code)
version. They have called these production versions Release One, Release
Two, and now Release Three. Production versions are not considered beta
releases, are supported by InnoVal, and are, in InnoVal's opinion, ready for
regular customer use.
JAVA 1.1.6
"The latest release of Java 1.1.6 from IBM is outstanding," said Porter.
"It's fast, robust and very compliant with standard Java. This is a great
time for OS/2 users to embrace this exciting technology, if they haven't
done so already. Sun's Java 1.1.6 for Windows is equally impressive."
"For anyone who uses the Internet for email, J Street Mailer is an excellent
application for discovering the power of Java. It is rich in the features
that power users expect yet easy to use. It is state-of-the-art technology.
I think of it as the 'Sports Utility Vehicle' of email clients," said
Porter.
J Street Mailer, perhaps better than any other Java application on the
market, demonstrates Java's cross-platform 'write once, run anywhere'
capability and Java's capacity and performance for real world applications.
InnoVal is a leading producer of Internet, Java, and OS/2 software for the
consumer and the information technology sector. InnoVal produces the Post
Road Mailer, a leading native OS/2 email client; and NetExtra, a powerful
Netscape Navigator add-on for OS/2. InnoVal also provides custom-written
