Beta Shipment of Pinnacle Transfer for NeXTmail Remote Access
Initiates Introductory Pricing
TUCSON, AZ, August 4, 1993 - Pinnacle Research, Inc., the NEXTSTEP
Utility Lab, announced beta-testing at selected sites of Pinnacle
Transfer - dubbed by Pinnacle as the "E-mail Anywhere, Anytime!"
application. Pinnacle also announced a limited-time introductory
price of $125 for the package which normally sells for $249.
Pinnacle Transfer is a NEXTSTEP remote access application, solving
the common problem of accessing electronic mail, files, and data
using a remote machine, such as a laptop or home computer. Transfer
gives users access to NeXTmail and UNIX mail, stored on an office
machine, using the ease and elegance of the highly acclaimed NEXTSTEP
user interface. Before Transfer, remote access to NeXTmail required
users to use generic file transfer software and to then decode
the messages into NeXTmail by hand.
Transfer's modular client-server based design provides users with
modules for Email, drag-and-drop file transfer, and remote command
execution:
Incoming Mail - Select which messages to transfer based on
message size, subject, or sender for reading with NeXTmail's
Mail.app application.
Outgoing Mail - Send outgoing messages composed on or off-line
with the local machine.
Command Execution - Execute UNIX commands on the office server
and receive the output.
Remote File Browser - Browse the remote filesystem using a
"Workspace-like" file browser. Copy files to and from the
remote server simply by dragging the file icons from the
Transfer browser to the Workspace Manager file browser.
The remote server portion of Transfer is architecture independent.
This allows client modules to interface with applications running
on UNIX systems other than NEXTSTEP.
Pinnacle Transfer's modular architecture is designed to be extended
using custom modules to meet specific business requirements. These
custom modules can be used to provide NEXTSTEP user-interface based
connections to mission-critical NeXT and non-NeXT applications
residing on a remote server. Pinnacle Research, Inc. is offering
consulting services to design custom modules for Transfer. Pinnacle
Transfer is scheduled to ship in early September. Introductory
pricing valid until September 30, 1993.
