RegSoft Announces Version 1.12 for Newton!

LlamaDOS: The first Post-Newton Command Line Interpreter

(Portland) RegSoft today announced the General Availability (GA) of version 1.12 of
LlamaDOS. It features a number of significant enhancements from 1.06, including 
enhance screen management, MP 110 support, simplified font management and full
MS-DOS auditory compatability.

"We felt the market was ready for a Rev 1.12," said George Henne, RegSoft's Vice
President of Development. "We felt LlamaDOS was a good candidate for this."

While the Newton is a tremendous design, it lacks a feature found on most
computers: a command line interface for system management. Rather than invent a new
interface for the Newton, LlamaDOS implements the world's most widely used interface,
with well over 40 million users: DOS. The developers at RegSoft have done their best to
make sure that the quality and user friendliness of the DOS interface survived intact
on the Newton in their new product, LlamaDOS 1.12.

With LlamaDOS, a user can traverse directories, look at files and the status of their
system using the same commands they have used for years on PCs. Of course, not all
commands are implemented: just a subset that will be used regularly. Any application
can also be run directly from the command line.

"It's really increased my productivity," said Frank Schaedlich of HHI Inc, one of the
beta testers. "I also feel I have much better control over the internals of the Newton.
It was great not having to learn a new interface."

The normal cost of the software is $195.00 US. However, a special limited time
competitive upgrade of just $19.95 is being offered. To qualify, please specify the
Newton OS you are upgrading from. Revenues will be used to produce enhanced versions
of LlamaDOS. Look for the shareware copy on the networks, or order directly form:

and the consumer marketplace.

LlamaDOS is named after the cuddly, doe-eyed mascot of the Newton Development team.
The use of RegSoft as a company name by no means implies that RegSoft or its
employees or agents endorse either party in the ongoing Ned verses Reg dispute.
