McLean, VA Ð NEXTSTEP users have a new option for developing presentation graphics with the shipment in March of RDR's @image 1.0.
"@image is a presentation package that is equivalent to and better than Concurrence," said Bob Ward, senior vice-president at RDR. "It has more functionality, and it's priced toward the end-user market Ð it's much more affordable."
In addition to its slide-show capability, @image also acts as a drawing package, providing a full range of drawing and layout tools. Other key features include speaker notes that appear only on the presenter's slide and the ability to show presentations over a network.
"I was pretty impressed," said Jason Beaver, a beta user of @image and an engineer at Vanguard Software. "It was faster than Concurrence, and I liked the user interface." @image runs $399, and educational, government, and volume discounts are available.
