Amiga Envoy Available from Intangible Assets Manufacturing [Please do not post this version of this announcement outside of CompuServe.] PRODUCT Amiga Envoy DESCRIPTION Amiga Envoy is the standard Amiga peer-to-peer networking software developed by Commodore's Amiga Networking Group. Its performance, user-interface and API are consistent with the philosophy of the Amiga Operating System. Amiga Envoy provides a simple messaging interface for the easy development of reliable network applications. Included applications enable connected Amiga computers to share hard disks, CD-ROMs, and printers transparently. Third-party applications can provide functionality such as electronic mail, remote computer access, multi-user databases and multi-player games. To make Amiga Envoy available to end-users immediately, Intangible Assets Manufacturing has licensed Amiga Envoy from Commodore. IAM has produced a manual written by Dale Larson, one of Amiga Envoy's original designers. The manual eases you through the set up and use of a simple network. Additional documentation will be available (at an additional charge). It will explain how to internetwork with Amiga Envoy, how to develop software for it and how to use its security features. Intangible Assets Manufacturing supports the copies of Amiga Envoy it distributes. Support is provided through electronic and physical mail and by answering questions in such public forums as UseNet's comp.sys.amiga.datacomm, on CompuServe, and on Bix. REQUIREMENTS Workbench 2.04, Kickstart 2.04, 512k RAM, SANA-II compatible networking hardware (see COMPATIBILITY). RECOMENDED Workbench 2.1 or later, Kickstart 2.1 or later, 1MB RAM, Hard disk with 300k free in SYS:. AVAILABILITY Now.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR DEVELOPERS Developers of any Amiga networking products or networking compatible products are encouraged to contact Intangible Assets Manufacturing regarding inclusion of their products in the forthcomming "Amiga Networking Handbook." We want to make sure that Amiga users can find out about every networking product that they may need. We hope to do this by publishing information on all of the products that are available. Applications developers who wish to add networking features to their products are encouraged to contact IAM regarding developer support and/or consulting services. The Amiga Envoy documentation produced by IAM is available for license to third-parties wishing to distribute Envoy with their products. Custom documentation can also be produced for third party networking hardware and software products. Similar AS225 documentation is expected to be available soon.
