Canadian X Server software house Hummingbird Communications Ltd of Markham, Ontario, is introducing three new products at UniForum this week, including exceed/NT, its new X-terminal software for Microsoft Corp Windows NT; exceed/Xpress, a suite of products that access X applications over serial lines; and an OSF/Motif toolkit. It also has enhancements to exceed/W, its flagship X server software. Exceed/NT will enable users concurrently to access X Window clients and applications running under Windows NT. It includes two windowing modes, which enable users to execute X clients and local MS-DOS, Windows and NT applications at the same time; X11.5 scalable fonts, font server and XDCMP security. It supports Microsoft’s TCP/IP Windows Socket Transport programming interface, as well as a window planner and plane mask support. The software also includes Hummingbird’s XDK developer kit, which enables users to convert applications between personal computer and Unix environments. Xlib, Xt intrinsics, Xaw and Xmu libraries are also included. Exceed/NT will be out at the end of the month at $600. Exceed/Xpress enables remote personal computer communications to X Window applications via modem or by RS232 serial connection. It is at $250. The OSF/Motif Toolkit will enable users to develop Motif X Window clients on a personal computer rather than a remote host. This costs $150. Hummingbird also introduces version 3.3 of exceed/W, its personal computer X Server software for Windows. Enhancements include Telnet support for VT220, a Microsoft Windows Socket application programming interface and non-X application support using Xstart, which starts up the application on the host system. Exceed/W also supports Univel Inc’s Unixware. No prices were given for exceed/W.
