New features
surface for ScreenJets emulator One solution supplier set a course for new business in the 3000 market just weeks after HPs announcement, as ScreenJet Limited announced a raft of new features for its ScreenJet terminal emulator. The product remains available for free in a basic release for single user or personal use, and now costs between $400 and $2,000 per year for a fully supported and licensed version. Release 2.10 is being sold and supported by its developers, and users of prior versions can register at ScreenJet.com to have their support transferred from Millware.com, the former distributors and supporters of the software. Getting the new features of 2.10 involves paying for support, however. New features include
additional drop down list Engines which support KSAM files and MPE
files, and a List Engine to support user-written Query database
extracts. ScreenJet said that all list engines have been
improved to provide larger buffers so that more information can be
processed into the lists. The product now also includes support
for .JPG and .GIF background images in addition to the existing
bitmap files, and all three file types can now be used as backgrounds
for screens. Another product, ScreenJet Designer, has had its Help
re-written and incorporated into a Windows style help facility. New
wrap style edit boxes allow full screen editing of text within
applications, and theres new function key display and usage
options to keep a user from getting stuck when function keys are
turned off on a screen. The full details on the new products are at
the ScreenJet Web site, www.screenjet.com. Copyright The 3000 NewsWire. All rights reserved |
