NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: 03/29/87 SUBJECT: FASTWIRE plus High speed file transfer program. If your looking for a way to transfer files from a laptop to desktop, or between desktops, Fastwire plus is by far the best product available anywhere. I will not sell any software that I do not use myself. And I can honestly say that Fastwire has made my life much easier. In fact, I had no intentions of marketing Fastwire until after I started using it. To make a long story short, I liked it so much that I got in touch with the distributor, and told him that Fastwire is such a good program, that I would like to make it available via my bulletin board and other bulletin boards nationwide. They responded by creating a special offer that is now available only thru my BBS The Invention Factory. The Fastwire program: Use Fastwire for transmitting files between portables with 3.25 inch disk drives and desktops with 5.25 inch drives. You can also use it to backup one hard disk to another between desktop computers of all types. If you work in a large office and are continually carry disks back and forth between computers Fastwire is a lifesaver. In addition to being exceptionally easy to use, Fastwire does not require installation of any device drivers in your config.sys file. Fastwire transfers files between computers at up to 115,200 baud over a standard null modem cable. For more demanding users, Fastwire can transmit over thousands of feet at 115,200 baud through fiber optic cabling. Any user that needs to transfer large files or files spread over multiple directories will appreciate using Fastwire instead of floppy disks. One special feature of Fastwire is it's date sensitivity. For example, unlike DOS, when Fastwire copies files it checks to make sure that only the latest versions of files are copied. Fastwire's date features, combined with it's ability to discriminantly transfer large blocks of data at high speeds, make Fastwire the most powerful null modem file transfer program on the market the professionals choice. Other features of Fastwire include: (1) Select groups of files using wildcard pattern matching, character exclusions and character set matching. (2) Visually monitor status of file transfer on your screen. (3) Fully compatible with batch language. (4) Remote command execution. (5) Full error checking and recovery. (6) Transfer files by date or time criteria. (7) Transfer any type or size of file, including Read-only, system and hidden files. (8) Interactive file transfer. (9) Only four commands to learn. Price and ordering information: Fastwire normally retails for $99.00 per CPU and is available in 5.25" 5.25" or 3.5" disk formats.
