CALAMUS UPGRADE: $69.95 IN JULY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Word from ISD's Nathan Potechin is that Calamus S, the modular replacement for the current Calamus 1.09N, will be available as an upgrade in July for $69.95 (U.S.). Watch Z*Net Newswire for the announcement as to exactly when it is ready. Nathan continues to encourage owners of the older versions to upgrade NOW to 1.09N ($29.95 from any older level) rather than to wait and pay the whole $100 to get Calamus S. Calamus S contains every feature 1.09N has plus dozens of new features and it is totally modular. You can choose to purchase whatever additional modules you might require ie; the new vector line art module for use within Calamus, PKS Write word processing module, a paint module, etc. Nathan expects 2 dozen new modules for Calamus before the end of this year. Other features of Calamus S include working in up to 7 windows, 10,000th if a point text increments, rotation of all graphics, anchoring a picture to a word, text style attributes allowing global document restyle of tagged text, and lots more. Calamus S is the monochrome version, SL is the 4-color separation version. All modules (except color specific ones) will freely interchange between S and SL, allowing most users to buy S now and decide to move to WYSIWYG color in SL if and when they have the need. DYNACADD TT DELAYED AGAIN FOR MORE FEATURES Planned for release this week, the release of DynaCADD for the TT is being delayed. A recompiled TT version that takes full advantage of the TT's capabilities, DynaCADD TT features include: hidden line removal, bi-directional 3D DXF, 3D faces, compatibility with ray tracing and rendering packages on other platforms, etc. Says Nathan Potechin of ISD, "We have held back the release of the TT version of DynaCADD for ONE additional month. In addition to the long list of features already added to the not yet released new TT version of DynaCADD, we have decided to go even further. Now being added are: A Compiled Programming Language, a fully integrated multi-document editor, configurable command line interpreter, a script language and non-graphical properties. We had initially thought to add these features later but finally decided to do it all now. It will be worth the wait, of that I can assure you.... While 16 million colors aren't that relevant in CADD, we will run with every configuration from VGA on up. We WILL USE the built-in math coprocessor." <<<<*>>>><<<<*>>>><<<<*>>>>
