[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.

COMPATIBILITY
Any SANA-II networking hardware may be used with Envoy, including
Ameristar A2066, AmiLink, ASDG LanRover, Commodore A2065 or A2060 and
SLIP (serial port).
Additional non-IP, SANA-II compatible networking protocol stacks may
be run at the same time as Amiga Envoy over the same networking
hardware. AS225r2 is the version of Commodore's TCP/IP package which
is compatible with Envoy (through SANA-II compatibility and close
cooperation regarding IP packets). It is expected to be available
from Intangible Assets Manufacturing soon.
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.
