Data General Corp has added 30 communications and office automation products for its AViiON Unix machines, headlined by AViiON Office Information Systems, a family of server-based products based on Uniplex and consisting of four base products – AV Office, AV Office DOS, AV Office Windows and AV Object Office, and three optional modules – Office DocConvert, Office Datalink and Office Dictionaries. AV Office for character-based terminals includes document processing, database manager, group communications, time manager, personal productivity tools and presentation graphics. AV Office DOS is either stand-alone or networked with the Unix machines, supporting MS-DOS applications locally; AV Office Windows is Motif-compatible for X-terminals and Unix workstations. AV Object Office, based on Microsoft Corp Windows and Hewlett-Packard Co NewWave 3.0, was formerly known as Open Systems Office/pc.DAA and announced in February this year. Pricing for the AV Office suite starts at $2,000 and there is a 30% discount when you buy it with the AViiON hardware.
