The company is announcing a new release of co-Xist, which will be one of the first products to run on NEXTSTEP for Intel processors (NEXTSTEP/FIP). The product is set for release on June 1. For over two years, co-Xist has allowed NeXT computer users to develop and display X Window's applications running native or remotely on hardware platforms, including Sun, HP, IBM and others. With the release of co-Xist for NEXTSTEP/FIP, '486 PC-users can also gain access to X applications running on other Open Systems platforms from within their NEXTSTEP environment. This product offering will strengthen connectivity capabilities for both commercial users and software developers. "Pencom is excited about the expanding market opportunities for co-Xist products. We feel our expertise in X/Motif technology and competitive pricing will position us to be the leading provider of connectivity tools and services in this marketplace," said W. Frank King, president of Pencom Software. "The initial release of co-Xist for NeXT computers has had great success with the existing market and we feel that co-Xist for NEXTSTEP/FIP will also provide a vital link in the emerging marketplace." In an effort to better satisfy customer demands for a high-value X Window System and OSF/Motif connectivity tool, Pencom also announced a restructuring of its co-Xist product packaging and pricing. This new packaging and lower pricing structure affects the new release of co-Xist--one of the first products to run on NEXTSTEP for Intel processors, as well as co-Xist 3.0 which targets traditional NeXT hardware customers. The structure sets an aggressive standard for X/Motif products for the commercial marketplace. The pricing strategy will cut entry-level prices more than 50 percent and was designed to help make co-Xist a very accessible and cost-effective utility for NEXTSTEP users on the NeXT computer and Intel '486 platforms. "Our goal is to establish co-Xist as the benchmark X/Motif product for both the NEXTSTEP and traditional NeXT marketplace," said W. Frank King, President, Pencom Software. "We feel that we are offering customers an outstanding value and helping to ensure the long-term success of the NEXTSTEP environment by making open systems connectivity a must-have capability." Until recently, Pencom has provided two co-Xist packaging options: a Runtime Package and a full Developer's Package. Beginning May 1, co-Xist package options will consist of a variety of offerings, ranging from a Base Package to a Full Developer's Package, with add-on options to provide additional functionality. For ordering or more information, call 1-800-PENCOM-4 or 512-343-6666 or email co-Xist_info@pencom.com. (Please confirm if you can receive NeXT mail).
