Overview
-
Chameleon� UNIX ® Link 97 delivers complete PC to UNIX ® connectivity
for Windows (including Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 3.1).
-
Chameleon� UNIX ® Link 97combines an NFS client/server, PC X Server,
a complete suite of terminal emulation, Z-Mail� Pro for electronic mail and
messaging, and a powerful set of network applications, all built on top of
TCP/IP for Microsoft Windows.
-
Chameleon� UNIX ® Link 97 delivers features that lower the total cost
of ownership for PC to UNIX ® connectivity, and greatly enhance the user
productivity and satisfaction. TCP/IP is used for all network communications,
providing transparent access to a wide variety of systems that support the
same protocols.
-
Your Windows-based PCs can seamlessly integrate into existing network
environments or expand small networks into large ones, without the painful
changes commonly associated with these transitions.
-
Most applications have both client and server capabilities. This permits
building of peer-to- peer networks of PCs without the use of a centralized
workstation or mainframe. This also eliminates the need for a proprietary
protocol for PC-to-PC communication. Applications are integrated into the
native environment as much as possible, an example is NetManage�s implementation
of NFS; Network drives appear and act as local drives through the use of
the NFS (Network File System) protocol.
-
Chameleon� UNIX ® Link 97�s PC X Server, XoftWare allows you to use Microsoft
Windows and network-based UNIX ® applications concurrently on the same
PC.
-
XoftWare now supports the latest X technology, called �Broadway� which allows
you to access and run UNIX ® applications from within the confines of
your favorite Web Browser. The XoftWare components are described in the XoftWare
User�s Guide.
