PRESS RELEASE - for Immediate Release
DCN ANNOUNCES MINDWIRE
An Internet Client/Server Platform
SINGLE LINE MINDWIRE SERVER AVAILABLE FREE NOW!
Santa Barbara, California, April 28, 1995 - - Durand Communications Network,
Inc. (DCN) today announced the release of MINDWIRE(tm) v1.00, an Online,
Windows(tm) platform for Client/Server applications.
The World Wide Web (WWW) has exploded almost overnight. The rush to the
Internet has created tremendous demand for software which will allow companies
to do business online in more sophisticated ways. With an estimated $1 Billion
dollars worth of transactions to be conducted over the Internet by the year
2000, every company is looking for new and unique ways to provide meaningful
services through the Internet. Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) has served
the industry well as the programming tool of the WWW, but it’s fundamentally
lacking the client/server software architecture which will allow companies to
go to the next level and provide powerful, database intensive information
services.
MINDWIRE is a Windows and Windows NT based communications platform for
client/server applications operating over a modem, network or the Internet.
MINDWIRE leverages Windows NT as an Internet server to provide powerful
client/
server online services and information which is user-friendly and completely
customizable. While MINDWIRE contains all of the traditional features of an
online service, such as Email, File Library, Conferencing and Messaging,
MINDWIRE also provides a robust development platform for client/server
applications.Three DCN developed technologies make this powerful client/server
environment possible, WIP (Windows Interface Protocol), CAM (Client
Application Manager) and the MindWire Foundation Services and Developers
API’s.
MindWire leverages the best of both the terminal/host environment through
dynamically created WIP menus and the power of client/server with automatic
software updating and binary file patching through CAM.
MINDWIRE comes with an 8-User License and is available direct from DCN for
$495. The MINDWIRE Client software is royalty-free and available on most
major networks or any MINDWIRE Server. A single line MINDWIRE Host may be
downloaded FREE from The MINDWIRE Network or the DCN FTP or WWW site.
DCN, founded in 1991, provides software products and services for the online
and Internet community. DCN has over 1500 clients online and an estimated
150,000 online enthusiasts using DCN products. DCN has gained an in-depth
understanding of the online community as it exists today, and possesses the
technical capability and vision to seize tomorrow’s opportunities.
