Santa Barbara, California, April 28, 1995 - - Durand Communications Network, Inc. (DCN) today announced the release of MINDWIRE(tm) v1.00, an Online, Windows(tm) platform for Client/Server applications. The World Wide Web (WWW) has exploded almost overnight. The rush to the Internet has created tremendous demand for software which will allow companies to do business online in more sophisticated ways. With an estimated $1 Billion dollars worth of transactions to be conducted over the Internet by the year 2000, every company is looking for new and unique ways to provide meaningful services through the Internet. Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) has served the industry well as the programming tool of the WWW, but it’s fundamentally lacking the client/server software architecture which will allow companies to go to the next level and provide powerful, database intensive information services. MINDWIRE is a Windows and Windows NT based communications platform for client/server applications operating over a modem, network or the Internet. MINDWIRE leverages Windows NT as an Internet server to provide powerful client/ server online services and information which is user-friendly and completely customizable. While MINDWIRE contains all of the traditional features of an online service, such as Email, File Library, Conferencing and Messaging, MINDWIRE also provides a robust development platform for client/server applications.Three DCN developed technologies make this powerful client/server environment possible, WIP (Windows Interface Protocol), CAM (Client Application Manager) and the MindWire Foundation Services and Developers API’s. MindWire leverages the best of both the terminal/host environment through dynamically created WIP menus and the power of client/server with automatic software updating and binary file patching through CAM. MINDWIRE comes with an 8-User License and is available direct from DCN for $495. The MINDWIRE Client software is royalty-free and available on most major networks or any MINDWIRE Server. A single line MINDWIRE Host may be downloaded FREE from The MINDWIRE Network or the DCN FTP or WWW site.
