Start-up Perspecta Software Inc, Berkeley, California, has introduced Perspecta Presents, a $300 presentation management package for Unix. Wedging itself against Digital Equipment Corp’s DECpresents and Island Graphics Inc’s IslandPresents, which go for $800 and $1,000 respectively – Perspecta says its looking to steal as much as 20% of the market away from its competitors. Running under X Window, it includes word processing, graphics, imaging, multiple background functions, view graphs, and on-line slide shows. The software also comes with a tool command language kit and a graphical user interface. Scheduled for release by the end of the year, Perspecta Presents is available under DEC Ultrix, Hewlett-Packard Co’s HP-UX, IBM Corp AIX and Sun Microsystems Inc’s SunOs.
