Shareware Solutions II and Spectrum
===================================
 
Shareware Solutions II, in association with Ewen Wannop and My eSource,
is pleased to announce that effective immediately it is the Publisher and
exclusive worldwide distributor of Spectrum.
 
Written by British author Ewen Wannop, Spectrum is an easy-to-use yet
powerful and comprehensive IIGS desktop telecommunications program that
permits users to dial up a local BBS, to log onto an employer's remote
computer, or to access the far reaches of cyberspace via a local Internet
Service Provider.
 
Spectrum is an expandable program that has grown far beyond basic
telecommunications. Through the use of Spectrum's External Commands and
powerful Scripting language, Spectrum add-on programs have been created
that allow users to automate online sessions to Delphi with COG (Crock O'
Gold), surf the world wide web with SIS (Spectrum Internet Suite), or
send and receive e-mail via SMTP and POP3 mail servers with SAM (Spectrum
Automated Mailer).
 
Spectrum is the only program for the Apple IIGS that has been updated to
provide support for Internet access via TCP/IP, thereby freeing Spectrum
users from having to use an increasingly more difficult-to-find unix
shell account!
 
The latest version of Spectrum - v2.4 - requires System 6.0.1. Highly
recommended are a hard disk drive and 4 megabytes of RAM.
 
Some of Spectrum 2.4's advanced features include:
 
     * Improved script execution speed.
     * Optimise scripts by compiling them.
     * Spectrum 2.4 and the XCMDs are Y2K compliant.
     * Optional Serial or TCP/IP environment.

     * Enhanced !Help! NDA includes Find function.
     * Internal support for Babelfish Import and Export.
     * Spectrum 2.4 supports the Hierarchic Control Panel.
     * Updated Spectrum Port driver.
     * 57600 baud connections using Bernie ][ the Rescue.
     * More than 50 new or updated script commands.
     * More than 30 new replacement items.
     * Many enhanced and updated XCMDs:
          + The BinHQX XCMD now includes:
          + BinSCII encoding and decoding.
          + BinHex 4.0 encoding and decoding.
          + MIME Base 64 multipart encoding and decoding.
          + UUencode encoding and decoding.
     * Enhanced WorkBench XCMD replaces the ResEdit XCMD:
          + Access and edit resource forks.
          + Make MessageCenter and IPC calls.
          + Make Toolbox & GS/OS calls.
          + Peek and Poke.
     * The Spectrum manuals are now supplied in Teach format.
     * New CD version has the manuals in Acrobat PDF format.
