Telix for Windows version 1.0 will be released June 15th, 1994, after a short sixteen month development cycle and extensive quality assurance testing. "The new version is a ground-up rewrite of our long-time favorite DOS communications program," says Sean Palmer, the Senior Software Engineer at deltaComm. "All of the most often requested features have been incorporated into this new product." Many of the new features in Telix for Windows are unique to the Windows communication world. Foremost of the new features is integrated support for the RIPscrip graphics terminal emulation; Telix for Windows is the first Windows communication program to *fully* support RIPscrip in *all* video modes, enabling callers to many online systems to interact graphically, with icons, graphics images and graphics-based text. Users of Microsoft Windows will find RIPscrip emulation more closely links their online sessions to a familiar Windows interface. Also available in this first release are a graphics image viewer, a convenient phonebook manager featuring multiple levels of information storage, and support for network communications. The two popular Telix scripting languages, SALT and SIMPLE, have been enhanced and upgraded. Integrated sound card support allows you to attach .WAV files to communications events, to be played whenever that action occurs. deltaComm has announced that they will begin marketing Telix for Windows to the retail channel by selling it only in a shelf-ready, shrink- wrapped package. Included is a free startup kit for CompuServe and access to deltaComm's own information service, offering access to Internet Email, ClariNet News, USA Today, BBS Magazine, Boardwatch Magazine, and much more. The retail price for Telix for Windows is $119.00 US, and the product will be available via selected software stores. Current Telix users may upgrade from copies of Telix for DOS with valid registration/serial numbers to Telix for Windows for only $39 US plus shipping for a limited time. A competitive upgrade plan has also been announced; by showing proof of purchase of any commercially available DOS or Windows communication program, users may upgrade to Telix for Windows for only $69.00 US plus shipping. Dealer and distributor pricing programs are available. A limited demonstration version of the product will be available for download starting June 15th, 1994.
