SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1990 FEB 2 (NB) -- Santa Cruz
Operation has announced that Open Desktop, the graphical user
interface for Unix-based 80386 and 80486-based PCs with
either an industry standard, extended industry standard (EISA),
or Micro Channel Architecture bus, is shipping.
The single, ready-to-install package, comes complete with SCO Unix
System U/386 release 3.2, the OSF/Motif and X Window System-
based graphical user interface with Microsoft Windows and
Presentation Manager-compatible operation, LAN Manager/X
client, TCP/IP and NFS networking services, SQL database
management capabilities and complete DOS-under-Unix
system integration.
The single-user list price is $995. The Open Desktop Server
Upgrade will be $1,495 when released in the first quarter.
SCO says over 1100 software developers nationwide are
creating software products that will run in the Open Desktop
environment, meaning they will offer a consistent user
interface from product to product, similar to Macintosh software
products. They include Informix (Wingz), Altos, Frame Technology
(Framemaker), Century Software (Term), Cognition (Advantage
CAD/CAM), Crosswind Technologies (Synchronize), Human
Computing Resources (dbXtra), Ingres (Ingres SWL RDBMS),
Transparent Technology (PC-Inmail), Uniplex (Uniplex Windows),
Wang (Wang Clearview and Wang WP/X), and Worldwide Lynx
(Lynx/3270).
