(AFS) today announced that it will ship WriteUp(tm), a low cost word processor for the NEXTSTEP operating system, by the end of the year. "NEXTSTEP users have been asking, begging, pleading for a low cost alternative to WordPerfect," said Gregory H. Anderson, Chairman and CEO of AFS. "In the process of evaluating PasteUp(tm), we realized there was a great word processor buried inside all that functionality. We're going to unleash it." WriteUp will be derived from PasteUp, but will simplify operations and terminology. Publishing-specific operations, such as color separations, will be removed entirely. The result will be a fast, clean, capable word processor. Primary features include: - Full typographic text object with on-screen pagination - Headers and footers - Text and graphics integration - Simultaneous multiple views onto the same document - Import plain ASCII, RTF, WriteNow, WordPerfect, TIFF and EPS documents. WriteUp has a suggested retail price of $199 ($99 academic). Five-user license packs cost $795 (no special academic pricing). Site licenses for over 100 seats are available at negotiated prices. The beta test period for WriteUp will begin in late November. Because it is based on a shipping application, AFS expects testing time and problems to be minimal. Preorders are being accepted now with a unique guarantee: If the product does not ship by December 31, all orders placed by December 1 will receive a $1 per day credit until it does.
