Attachmate, the world`s leading provider of host access management solutions, has announced EXTRA! for Windows 5.1. In its ongoing efforts to provide a broad range of products, from 16-bit client products to thin, server-based ActiveX and Java applets and everything in between, Attachmate is committed to providing customers with the solutions they need when they need them. For organisations migrating to Windows 95, EXTRA! for Windows 5.1 has been tested to run seamlessly on this 32-bit platform, assuring customers that they can migrate one step at a time. Customers` needs change Organisations are faced with a varied computing landscape - different departments standardising on different operating systems, IT wanting centralised management of host access, and some users looking to evaluate new technologies. The EXTRA! family meets every customer need from thin client, component-based objects to traditional, 16- and 32-bit thick clients. Part of the award-winning EXTRA! Family EXTRA! Personal Client is Attachmate`s flagship client product and has both 16- and 32-bit multi-host connectivity as well as the EXTRA! Objects, completely distributed objects developers can use to create their own unique, specialised host access applications. In addition to EXTRA! for Windows and EXTRA! Personal Client are EXTRA! for Windows 95 and Windows NT, a 32-bit only mainframe connectivity product, and the EXTRA! Bundle for TCP/IP, for those environments standardising their networks on TCP/IP. Year 2000 Ready As the Year 2000 approaches, customers are focused on protecting the integrity of their mission-critical data and demanding software that is Year 2000 ready. Attachmate`s customer-centric approach to development anticipated these needs and ensured that EXTRA! for Windows 5.1 was tested to guarantee the date change would have no adverse effect on the product. Maximum flexibility With the pervasiveness of mixed environments, customers rely on vendors to support multiple client desktops including Windows 3.x and Windows 95. EXTRA! for Windows 5.1 has been tested for stability under the beta 3 of Windows 98 for those organisations who will be evaluating Microsoft`s updated operating system. All the manuals for this product are available on the product CD, as are hard copies with the same content, allowing customers the freedom to choose the format most suitable for their environment. IRMA for the Mainframe Attachmate is also shipping IRMA for the Mainframe 4.01, an enhanced version of the stable, mainframe connectivity client. It, like EXTRA! for Windows, is Year 2000 ready and thoroughly tested to run under the most recent beta of Windows 98. In addition, for customers who want to do customisation work, the SISL Programmer`s Guide will be included on the IRMA CD and will be bundled with the hard copy documentation. For sixteen years, Attachmate has been a leading provider of connectivity software, enabling PC users to safely and securely access mission-critical information located on hosts (mainframes, midrange, UNIX, DEC/VAX, Unisys). A team of technical support and consulting experts backs all of Attachmate`s products, which include management software, development tools, remote access products, and hardware in addition to client and server products to help people access and use corporate data.
