200 channels, 40 telex lines, PSS and IBM 3270 connection, plus 134, Mbyte of disc storage. CASE is launching this product on a worldwide market, and has already received orders to the value of over f 1M. The company expects present MSX users to migrate rapidly to Beeline, given that it offers electronic mail at very little extra cost. User of the popular Data Concentrating Exchanges (DCEs) are also likely to see the benefits of Beeline, says
TOMSoftwareto run under Unix TOM software has developed a BASIC interpreter which allows TOM software to run undex Unix. TOM software includes database management, general business and vertical markel applications, and office automation systems. So far TOM Inc has srgned agreements with five vendors: Altos Computer Systems, Fortune Systems, Pixel, Plexus Computers, and Prime. Three peripheral manufacturers have also been signed up: Applied Computer Science, Santec and Wyse Technology. More agreements are expected. TOM software is marketed through a worldwide network of licensed consultants. The product line consists of more than 60 modules for integration into application systems. The company has an installed base of over 4000 sites. (TOM Software Seattle,

The Beeline has a multiprocessor design and a high speed bus. Standard software occupies one processor, with added options available, such as protocol converters and interfaces and further electronic mail facilities. Some specialized work can be carried out for users, although CASE would prefer to sell a standard product. The system has inbuilt diagnostics for remote service. CASE believes Beeline will
allow users to link computers and terminals from various vendors in a network throughout an organization. Peter Burton said ‘Beeline removes the most common impediment to implementation of electronic mail, the cost of purpose-built workstations’. Realistic prices range from &36000 for a configuration with IO local terminals and four telex lines with 20 Mbyte of disc storage, to &350000 for
A disc/dump/restore system which is claimed to operate IO times faster than Xerox’ own programzs has been launched by Scan Laser. The software, Quicksave, gives the user a choice of two formats of disc dump: formatted or binary. In the formatted mode, the dump is written as it would be by the Xerox comparable function. Files can be restored one by one using this utility, which is suitable for security copymaking ur transfer or restoration of chosen files. The software is available in Europe through Scan Laser and in the USA lrom Image Research Corporation. It costs El750 in the first year and &750 for subsequent years.
