The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. is pleased to announce first customer shipments of SCO Professional Release 2.0 for use on Sun-3 systems running SunOS 3.5 or 4.0. Information follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------- SCO Professional offers the best of two worlds: the functionality of the most popular integrated spreadsheet, graphics, and database product, and the multiuser and multitasking power of XENIX and UNIX systems. Specifically it offers functional, macro and file compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3 Release 2.01, used by millions of people in all types of computing environments. Anyone who already knows 1-2-3 can immediately use SCO Professional, including existing 1-2-3 macros or files, without additional training. SCO Professional Release 2.0 includes support for the SunView window manager menu. With this menu, users can dynamically resize SCO Professional windows, enlarging or shrinking them to see larger or smaller portions of a spreadsheet. SCO Professional windows can also be moved or condensed into icons to conserve space on the screen. SCO Professional Release 2.0 also includes a PostScript driver for printing worksheets and graphics with the Sun Writer, as well as support for bit-mapped graphical displays on the Sun-3's high-resolution, bit-mapped screen. Note: SCO Professional for the Sun-4 is currently in Engineering and scheduled to ship in June.
