WINDOWS GOES SOFT ON UNIX Insignia Solutions, famous for bringing Windows to the Mac OS with its SoftWindows 95 and Real PC products, is set to sell SoftWindows 95 for UNIX to Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Sun UNIX workstation owners on June 1, 1998. Crusty has learned that UNIX workstation owners will be able to buy the Insignia product in license packs of 5, 10, 25, or 50 users. As told to Your Watery Wayfarer, "SoftWindows 95 for UNIX is the leading PC compatibility software-only solution in the industry for UNIX workstations. It allows customers to run Microsoft Windows applications on their Sun, HP, and IBM workstations. Large corporations and small workgroups use SoftWindows 95 for UNIX to provide PC compatibility for UNIX workstation users, eliminating the need for two computers on the desktop and enhancing user productivity and communication within the corporation. Users can seamlessly switch between UNIX and Windows applications, and can even cut and paste between the two environments." "SoftWindows 95 is a useful value-added component to the complete CAD/CAM solution we provide to our customers," said Tony Pompeo, principal with L&H Consultants, Inc., a leading CATIA CAD/CAM integrator. "We are very pleased with the performance of SoftWindows 95 and the access to Windows applications it provides for our end users." *** I wonder... I've seen the Mac version perform on a MacOS...or rather not actually! But it will serve the purpose I guess... *** End users, The Argumentative Arthropod notes, who are more and more often dumping their UNIX workstations for fast Pentium II Windows 95 and NT boxes. *** Hmmmm, when did he fall out of the tree!?? Dumping UNIX workstations...!?? Another "Yeah-I-am-such-a-professional-'cause-I-use-Windows" kind of guy... *** In addition, SoftWindows 95 for UNIX covers all the Windows compatibility bases, including TCP/IP networking. As such, SoftWindows 95 for UNIX includes a DLL compliant with the WinSock 1.1 specification, including support for both 16-bit and 32-bit WinSock connections. The SoftWindows 95 winsock.dll communicates directly with the TCP/IP protocol stack in the host UNIX system. As told to The Crustacean, this networking method minimizes the amount of Intel code executed when communicating via TCP/IP and results in a more efficient implementation of winsock.dll. Pricing for SoftWindows 95 for UNIX varies by the license pack purchased.
