(OTI) one of the leading suppliers of software for NEXTSTEP announced today that it will begin its pre-release program for Impress, the revolutionary DBKit report-writer on September 30th, 1993. Objective Technologies is now accepting applications and purchase orders for the pre-release program. The pre-release program offers users a chance to: 1) Purchase a license for Impress for only $700. The release price is expected to be $850. 2) Start enjoying the power of Impress immediately using a pre-release version. 3) Receive a free upgrade to the release version when it is shipped on January 15th, 1994. WHAT IS IMPRESS? Impress is a DBKit report-writer. It brings the power of desk top publishing to report-writing chores. It combines free-form layout with graphical data access and mathematical calculations. It has an intuitive graphical query interface for retrieving the data from any DBKit data source. The data is analyzed with familiar formula structures and then presented with a drag-and-drop document layout system. The result is a professional report in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take. A powerful API allows developers to make it the report engine for custom applications. Alex Cone, President says, "We are extremely happy with the response to Impress. When we demonstrated it at NeXTWorld Expo in May, we received extremely high praise from everyone who saw it. We even had people tell us that they would consider a NEXTSTEP solution because of Impress. Offering Impress in a pre-release program is a way for us to allow people to get started with Impress right away and to save some money." AVAILABILITY The pre-release version will be available on September 30th, 1993. Impress will be released January 15th, 1994. All purchase orders will be filled in the order in which they are received. The Pre-Release version of Impress requires NEXTSTEP version 3.1 running on either NeXT or Intel hardware. Objective Technologies, Inc., founded in 1990, produces a number of other software products for NEXTSTEP including, SmartFieldPalette(TM), a winner of the 1993 Best of Breed award. The company also provides consulting services and custom software to a wide range of prestigious clients.
