San Diego, CA. June 1, 1992 - AGE Logic, Inc. announced an agreement with Novell, Inc. to bundle Novell's TCP/IP PC-to-Unix connectivity software with its XoftWare family of Microsoft Windows, DOS and TIGA/DOS X Window server software. AGE will offer Novell's TCP/IP stack in XoftWare for Windows, XoftWare for DOS and XoftWare for TIGA/DOS. Bundling Novell's TCP/IP stack with the XoftWare X server products will simplify the installation issues normally associated with integrating X and networking software. The XoftWare family of X server software enables PC users to quickly access network-based applications residing on Unix and DECNMS host systems. XoftWare shipments with Novell's TCP/IP bundled will begin in June 1992. Through this agreement, AGE will now be able to provide XoftWare users a single purchasing and support point for PC-to-Unix connectivity software. Users will benefit from fully integrated XoftWare installation routines simplifying TCP/IP network and X server software set-up. According to Craig A. Schmidt, vice president of marketing for AGE, "One of the largest hurdles facing customers that want to run network-based X client applications, has been integrating the X-server with the networking software. This bundling arrangement with Novell simplifies the installation process and thus makes it much easier for our customers to get started." The agreement between AGE and Novell allows AGE to bundle Novell's TCP/IP software with all XoftWare X server products. "We are pleased that AGE Logic will be offering their XoftWare X server customers our TCP/IP networking stack," said Bob Davis, director of marketing for Novell's connectivity products. "Novell is committed to growing the industry and this agreement with AGE simplifies the purchase of quality software solutions for the PC-to-Unix marketplace," he said. According the Peter J. Shaw, president and CEO of AGE Logic, "This agreement with Novell shows AGE's commitment to work with industry leading companies to offer integrated solutions built around standard, high quality platforms. We are very pleased with the relationship that has developed with Novell." The new XoftWare TCP/IP offering includes Novell's Transmission Control Protocol/lnternet Protocol (TCP/IP) files, the Open Datalink Interface (ODI) driver set, and the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) file for ODI. Through AGE's integration of Novell's ODI drivers, Token Ring and ARCnet are now supported in addition to XoftWare's standard support for Ethernet. XoftWare for Windows is AGE's enhanced X server software that enables users to simultaneously run MS Windows and network-based Unix and DECNMS applications on the same PC. XoftWare for Windows with Novell's TCP/IP bundled will list for $595 ($US) and for $495 without TCP/IP. XoftWare for DOS cost effectively adds X terminal capabilities to 286, 386 and 486 DOS-based PCs. XoftWare for DOS with Novell's TCP/IP bundled will list for $495 ($US) and for $395 without TCP/IP.
