- SAN JOSE, CA, April 10, 1992 - Horstmann Software Design Corp. today
- announced the release of ChiWriter 4.1. The fully WYSIWYG (what you see is
- what you get) scientific word processor enables users to easily enter and
- edit scientific notation and foreign language text. It is menu driven,
- supports mouse, and offers a full multiple undo and redo capability,
- making ChiWriter especially useful to professors, students, scientists and
- researchers in generating manuscripts and reports.
-
- The most important feature of the new version is its ability for graphics
- import. TIFF and PCX files can now be imported directly into ChiWriter,
- cropped, scaled, and annotated simply by typing over them. This is
- particularly useful for scanned graphics. "The ability to import graphics
- and annotate them, using the full scientific character and formula set, is
- particularly important to our customers," said Cay Horstmann, the company
- president. "No other word processor offers this flexibility."
-
- ChiWriter supports full multiple undo and redo. You can undo any mistakes,
- up to a hundred commands. All commands can be undone, even a global
- replace. Editing formulas and tables is easy since ChiWriter automatically
- keeps text formatted. You can also edit up to 10 documents simultaneously
- and cut and paste between the documents.
-
- Recognizing the increasing importance of the TEX typesetting system in the
- academic environment, Horstmann Software also offers a conversion program
- which performs an intelligent conversion from ChiWriter files to TEX
- format. This technology "aspires to close the gap between the two ideals:
- WYSIWYG input; TEX output." (J.S. Milne, Notices of the American
- Mathematical Society, 1990)
-
- ChiWriter runs on an IBM PC and compatible machines with at least 512K and
- a hard disk (or a 1MB RAM disk on a laptop). All popular graphics boards,
- dot-matrix printers (including Canon BubbleJet), laser printers and
- DeskJet printers are supported.
-
- ChiWriter 4.1 is available immediately. The list price is $349.95 for the
- word processing package, $74.95 for the optional TEX Translator utility.
- To encourage educational usage, Horstmann Software extends a discount of
- 20% off the list price on all its products to teachers and students.
