Telix for Windows Announced: Features, Pricing, Availability
Cary, North Carolina, April 15, 1994 -- deltaComm Development, Inc.
announced today that it will soon begin shipping its popular Telix
Professional Communications software in a Microsoft Windows version.
Telix for Windows version 1.0 will be released June 15th, 1994, after a
short sixteen month development cycle and extensive quality assurance
testing.
"The new version is a ground-up rewrite of our long-time favorite DOS
communications program," says Sean Palmer, the Senior Software Engineer
at deltaComm. "All of the most often requested features have been
incorporated into this new product."
Many of the new features in Telix for Windows are unique to the Windows
communication world. Foremost of the new features is integrated support
for the RIPscrip graphics terminal emulation; Telix for Windows is the
first Windows communication program to *fully* support RIPscrip in *all*
video modes, enabling callers to many online systems to interact
graphically, with icons, graphics images and graphics-based text. Users
of Microsoft Windows will find RIPscrip emulation more closely links
their online sessions to a familiar Windows interface.
Also available in this first release are a graphics image viewer, a
convenient phonebook manager featuring multiple levels of information
storage, and support for network communications. The two popular Telix
scripting languages, SALT and SIMPLE, have been enhanced and upgraded.
Integrated sound card support allows you to attach .WAV files to
communications events, to be played whenever that action occurs.
deltaComm has announced that they will begin marketing Telix for Windows
to the retail channel by selling it only in a shelf-ready, shrink-
wrapped package. Included is a free startup kit for CompuServe and
access to deltaComm's own information service, offering access to
Internet Email, ClariNet News, USA Today, BBS Magazine, Boardwatch
Magazine, and much more. The retail price for Telix for Windows is
$119.00 US, and the product will be available via selected software
stores.
Current Telix users may upgrade from copies of Telix for DOS with valid
registration/serial numbers to Telix for Windows for only $39 US plus
shipping for a limited time. A competitive upgrade plan has also been
announced; by showing proof of purchase of any commercially available
DOS or Windows communication program, users may upgrade to Telix for
Windows for only $69.00 US plus shipping.
Dealer and distributor pricing programs are available. A limited
demonstration version of the product will be available for download
starting June 15th, 1994. Customers interested in more information about
this product release should call deltaComm Online (The Telix BBS) with
their modems at 919/481-9399, at speeds up to 28,800 bps v.FC, or
