White Pines Software Inc, Nashua, New Hampshire company that started out offering X-server software for the Apple Computer Inc Macintosh, has now introduced new X-server products for both Microsoft Corp Windows and the NeXT Computer System, under its brand name, eXodus. The Windows product is the result of an OEM agreement with VisionWare Ltd of Leeds, here in the UK. EXodus for NeXT Computer Inc machines, which the company admits has a relatively small installed base compared with Windows and the Macintosh, is all its own work, and was released in April. It makes the assumption that a user wants to work only within NeXTstep, and not on the Unix command line, something it claims that other products have failed to realise. Optimistically, the company says it expects the business really to take off once NeXTstep ships for Intel Corp iAPX-86 systems later this year. The company has also upgraded its Macintosh server to version 4.0, claiming better performance. Price for the Microsoft Windows version is $450, and $300 for the Macintosh – no prices for the NeXT version.
