FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Joe Stunkard, PR Specialist Voice: 602/690-3231 FAX: 602/293-8065 MCI Mail: 532-6657 ARTISOFT NOW SHIPPING FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN & SPANISH VERSIONS OF LANTASTIC(R) FOR WINDOWS(TM) PRODUCTS Including LANtastic For Windows Starter Kits & Network Interface (TUCSON, Ariz. -- November 24, 1992) -- Artisoft announced today that it is now shipping its award-winning LANtastic for Windows products in localized versions for the European and Latin American markets. Both the LANtastic for Windows network interface and the LANtastic for Windows Starter Kit, which packages the interface with a LANtastic AE-2(TM) or A2Mbps(TM) Starter Kit, are now available in French, German, Italian and Spanish. "We are pleased that we can now offer our international customers localized versions of the LANtastic network for both DOS and Windows environments," said Dave Hallmen, Artisoft's Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "This is an important step in our ongoing effort to support the international market." The LANtastic for Windows network interface offers the same features as the DOS-based network's NET and NET_MGR programs, but within the easy, graphical user interface of Microsoft(R) Windows pull-down menus, icons and on-line help. It supports Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) over the network so that LANtastic e- mail can be used to exchange messages and transfer data from Windows applications. For example, with DDE, a user can create an Excel spreadsheet and send it to a remote user who will then be able to double-click on the file to open it in the application in which it was originally created. Purchased separately from the LANtastic Network Operating System software, this interface runs with LANtastic v4.x and Microsoft Windows v3.x. LANtastic Starter Kits offer a complete hardware and software networking solution for two PCs -- two Artisoft(TM) adapters, LANtastic NOS (which supports up to 300 users), cabling and documentation -- from which users can add nodes by installing additional adapters and cabling. Designed to offer a one-stop solution, LANtastic Starter Kits allow users to build networks around their choice of Artisoft adapters. Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of innovative, cost- effective network communication solutions including the LANtastic Local Area Network. Recognized as the leader in peer-to-peer networking for DOS and Windows environments, the LANtastic network now offers multiplatform connectivity solutions for NetWare(R), Macintosh(R) and TCP/IP environments. It allows up to 300 users of IBM(R)- compatible computers to connect and share information and peripheral devices such as printers, hard drives and CD-ROMs and has won numerous industry awards for its cost-effective features, performance and ease of use. Artisoft distributes its hardware and software products in over 70 countries worldwide and maintains international offices in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Latin America, Australia and Japan.
