And now for today's tip ...         
         
WINDOWS GOES SOFT ON UNIX         
 
Insignia Solutions, famous for bringing Windows to the Mac OS with its 
SoftWindows 95 and Real PC products, is set to sell SoftWindows 95 for 
UNIX to Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Sun UNIX workstation owners on June 
1, 1998. Crusty has learned that UNIX workstation owners will be able 
to buy the Insignia product in license packs of 5, 10, 25, or 50 
users. 

As told to Your Watery Wayfarer, "SoftWindows 95 for UNIX is the 
leading PC compatibility software-only solution in the industry for 
UNIX workstations. It allows customers to run Microsoft Windows 
applications on their Sun, HP, and IBM workstations. Large 
corporations and small workgroups use SoftWindows 95 for UNIX to 
provide PC compatibility for UNIX workstation users, eliminating the 
need for two computers on the desktop and enhancing user productivity 
and communication within the corporation. Users can seamlessly switch 
between UNIX and Windows applications, and can even cut and paste 
between the two environments." 

"SoftWindows 95 is a useful value-added component to the complete 
CAD/CAM solution we provide to our customers," said Tony Pompeo, 
principal with L&H Consultants, Inc., a leading CATIA CAD/CAM 
integrator. "We are very pleased with the performance of SoftWindows 
95 and the access to Windows applications it provides for our end 
users."

*** I wonder... I've seen the Mac version perform on a MacOS...or rather
not actually!  But it will serve the purpose I guess... ***

End users, The Argumentative Arthropod notes, who are more and 
more often dumping their UNIX workstations for fast Pentium II Windows 
95 and NT boxes. 

*** Hmmmm, when did he fall out of the tree!?? Dumping UNIX
workstations...!?? Another
"Yeah-I-am-such-a-professional-'cause-I-use-Windows" kind of guy... ***

In addition, SoftWindows 95 for UNIX covers all the Windows 
compatibility bases, including TCP/IP networking. As such, SoftWindows 
95 for UNIX includes a DLL compliant with the WinSock 1.1 
specification, including support for both 16-bit and 32-bit WinSock 
connections. The SoftWindows 95 winsock.dll communicates directly with 
the TCP/IP protocol stack in the host UNIX system. As told to The 
Crustacean, this networking method minimizes the amount of Intel code 
executed when communicating via TCP/IP and results in a more efficient 
implementation of winsock.dll. 

Pricing for SoftWindows 95 for UNIX varies by the license pack 
purchased. You can get the skinny by surfing to
