Software UNO offers QuickPort,the fastest route from Windows to UNIX & DOS!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 27, 1995 - Software UNO announced today it is now offering porting
services to companies that have developed MS Windows applications and want
to expand to the UNIX or DOS markets. The new service, called QuickPort,
provides ready to run UNIX or DOS executables from MS Windows source code,
significantly reducing the costs and times associated with offering ports
to those platforms.
"Our WM_MOTIF and WM_CURSES libraries have made porting MS Windows
applications to UNIX relatively simple.", said Jesus Alvarez, President of
Software UNO "Yet many companies have business opportunities that require
that a port be done very quickly without draining in-house resources. Our
QuickPort service provides these companies with a low risk alternative to
penetrate the rapidly growing UNIX market. Our porting service to DOS
allows you to maintain a presence in the DOS market with the same code
you use under MS Windows."
The QuickPort service can even deliver your company a ready to install
executable that you can ship to your customers . You get the advantages of
a fixed porting cost and can concentrate on marketing and supporting the
product.
"We are so confident on our product that we can offer porting services for
a very reasonable price." explains Alvarez "On small to medium sized
applications, we can deliver a fully ported application within two to four
weeks."
A WM_MOTIF or WM_CURSES license is required to distribute ported
applications under UNIX. A MEWEL license is required to distribute ported
applications under DOS. These libraries carry no runtime or per license
royalties. Porting costs can be as low as $ 1K per 12K lines of code.
Copyrights to the UNIX or DOS changes are retained by the contracting
company.
Software UNO, with offices in New Jersey and Puerto Rico, is well known for
enhancing the portability and integration between MS Windows and UNIX systems.
