ON Technology, Inc. Ships On Location™ 2.0
for the Apple® Macintosh® Computer
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 11, 1991—ON Technology, Inc. today began shipping
version 2.0 of its award-winning On Location software, a Macintosh desk
accessory that dramatically reduces the time it takes to find and view files.
On Location 2.0 offers significant enhancements and new features, including
System 7.0 compatibility.
On Location indexes the name and text of files on any volume, including hard
disks, network servers, diskettes and CD-ROMs. Feedback from hundreds of
existing users was incorporated into version 2.0. The new features include
searching for numbers in files, searching with AND or OR, printing and copying
the file list, significant interface refinements, System 7.0 compatibility and
user-defined timing for background indexing. On Location 2.0 is even faster
than the original version.
“The key benefit of On Location is the speed and ease with which you can find
words and numbers within files in addition to finding by file name,” said Kim
Agricola, product manager for On Location. “As you type a few words or a
phrase in its search window, On Location immediately begins looking for your
file.”
On Location has a large and loyal customer base. A partial list of companies
who have purchased On Location includes BP International, Exxon, Monsanto,
Eastman Kodak, Mitre, The New York Times, Lockheed, and NASA.
“I can’t begin to tell you how much easier it is to work on my Mac. On
Location lets me find files by what I know they’re about, rather than by what I
think I called them. Instead of rummaging through folders I can search,
select, and open my files quickly and painlessly from On Location,” said Paul
Hurley, director of computer systems at McDonough, Holland & Allen in
Sacramento.
On Location 2.0 includes an XTND file translator to view files created by
Instant Update™, ON’s new collaborative application for Macintosh networks that
helps groups of people communicate with unprecedented ease and effectiveness
through live documents.
On Location supports Apple Events, a new feature of System 7 that allows
different applications to communicate with each other, allowing each to take
advantage of the features and strengths of the others. On Location Apple
Events will allow other programs to access the power of On Location’s search
capabilities.
“We believe On Location delivers more value than any other utility, because
you’ll use it more than all the rest of your utilities put together,” said
Agricola. “Anyone with a hard disk, network server or CD-ROM drive should own a
copy.”
“I have over 300 Mb of files on my Mac. Before On Location I found myself
looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack five or six times a day,” said
David Edwards, lead AppleTalk engineer at Cisco Systems in Menlo Park. “I
consider On Location a vital tool in my system.”
Customers that purchased On Location on or after July 29, 1991 are eligible for
a free upgrade to version 2.0 with proof of purchase. On Location’s suggested
retail price is $129.95. Registered 1.0 users can order the upgrade for
$20.00, plus $5.00 for shipping and handling by calling ON Technology at (800)
926-5530. As with all of ON’s products, On Location comes with a one-year
money-back guarantee.
