Is there a Logo in Your life? The Microsoft Logoed Software List The official Microsoft Internet presence, WINNEWS, released in Vol. 2, #18 of October 1995 the following. "This is a list of software products that have earned the Designed for Windows 95 Logo as of October 5, 1995. " They go on to say: "To earn the Windows 95 Logo, software products must be 32-bit Windows-based applications which provide better multitasking and robustness in Windows 95. Applications with the Windows 95 Logo also feature the enhanced user interface of Windows 95, support long filenames, provide automated installation and uninstall capability. Many(?) applications, support OLE component technology which provides better cross-application interoperability(?) and efficiency through features such as OLE Drag and Drop." Given the many features touted in the approved '95 software list, can we assume that every package includes all these standards? Not quite, not all the time and certainly not very clear. "Sort of," says Steve Shattuck. "They must be 32-bit, handle long file names, have an uninstall, run on Windows NT plus a few other requirements. If an application requires a feature not supported in Windows NT, then the application can simply meet the NT requirements by having the program display "This program requires a Windows 95" dialog box. A good example of Logo programs with this exemption would be Norton Navigator which require the Windows 95 GUI, and QModem for Windows 95 which requires TAPI (Telephony Application Program Interface), which Windows NT doesn't support YET. It might be useful that future authorized MS listings include simple check boxes next to each software package indicating which of the '95 standards are included and how and if they differ from NT standards. Certainly as part of the massive upgrade surge required by Windows 95, lists of this sort have greater utility to the ultimate buyer if these lists represent more than mere exposure to WEB travelers . There is also the assumption that everyone is aware of what smallish niche developers are about and what there software offerings do or how and where to directly reach them. lbl WINDOWS 95 LOGOED SOFTWARE 01/FAX for Windows 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. 3D Kitchen Books that Work 3D-Body Adventure Knowledge Adventure, Inc. 3D-Dinosaur Adventure Knowledge Adventure, Inc.
