Schenectady New York, September 14, 1993 -- Digital Expressions Inc.
is pleased to announce limited-time student pricing for their
recently released product, "DragBook".
DragBook is a scrapbook-like utility which collects all of a user's
NEXTSTEP resources such as documents, applications, images, and
fonts. Resources are grouped into a series of "palettes", and are
accessed in a manner similar to InterfaceBuilder's palette system: by
dragging elements out of DragBook's window to their destination.
Destinations include other applications which support drag-and-drop,
and a special "Pasteboard Well", which copies the resource into the
NEXTSTEP pasteboard.
DragBook "elements" may be EPS or TIFF images, files, plain-text,
rich-text, fonts, ruler-definitions, or sounds. "One of the palettes
we use, for example, is for creating company documents. It contains
our company logo, our company-font, a Virtuoso template for
correspondence, and a text element with our company address.
Whenever we need one of these elements, we simply drag-and-drop!"
commented Jason Anthony, President of Digital Expressions. "Another
palette we use is for programming. It contains `text' elements which
have templates for classes, methods, comments and documentation
files."
Until October 31, 1993, students may purchase DragBook for the
discounted price of $29. Contact Digital Expressions for more
information.
DragBook ships as a multiple-architecture-binary with support for
both NeXT Computers and NEXTSTEP for Intel. NEXTSTEP 3.0 or greater
required.
To try out DragBook, a demonstration version may be obtained via ftp
at:
cs.orst.edu: /pub/next/submissions/DragBook.tar.Z
sonata.cc.purdue.edu: /pub/next/submissions/DragBook.tar.Z
Or, contact "DigitalExpressions@andi.org" to have a demonstration
copy NeXTmail'ed to you (approximately 720K).
The demonstration version may be fully enabled with a license key,
which may be purchased over the phone with a VISA or Mastercard.
DragBook ships on a NEXTSTEP 1.44MB 3.5" disk.
Look for DragBook on the next issue of the Paget Press AppWrapper!
