"We're seeing a great deal of interest from Microsoft's Windows NT beta sites for a MIPS-based version of our X server," said Craig A. Schmidt, vice president of marketing for AGE. "The Early-Start Program gives users the opportunity to start evaluating our X server performance on a MIPS-based system." "We are pleased to see that AGE is offering a MIPS-based version of their popular X server software for MS Windows NT," said Bill Glazier, director of Windows NT marketing for MIPS Technologies. "We believe that X server technology will provide the critical link between MIPS workstations running MS Windows NT and Unix-based applications." XoftWare/32 for Windows NT, AGE's MS Windows NT-based X server software, is specifically designed and optimized for the MS Windows NT 32-bit operating system. Fully X11R5 compliant, XoftWare/32 for Windows NT enables users to concurrently access and display Microsoft Windows, MS Windows NT and network-based Unix applications on the same PC.

MPSS(TM) (Multi- Process Start-Up System) allows multiple applications to start simultaneously. CascadeX(TM) provides the user with the choice of positioning windows in a Microsoft-like cascading window format or in the standard X Window System geometry windowing format. RAPID(TM) (Resource and Performance Interactive Display) lets the user fine-tune X performance and resource utilization by simply sliding a graphical scale. Automatic Font Substitution (AFS(TM)) ensures that font-specific information is displayed even when the requested font is unavailable. AGE's Color Map
