Athena Design, Inc. Ships Mesa(TM) 2 for OS/2(R) November 7, 1994 - Boston - Athena Design, Inc. begins shipping its eagerly awaited Mesa 2 spreadsheet software today. A traditional spreadsheet that goes beyond tradition, Mesa 2 is natively developed to take advantage of popular OS/2 features. Designed with objects to the core, Mesa 2 for OS/2 is a powerful, full-featured, 32-bit, native OS/2 spreadsheet application. It takes advantage of OS/2 features, including multi-threading, large memory size, multi-tasking, drag & drop and the object-oriented user interface. "Seeing our product come of age through its alpha and beta stages has been a really great experience," says David Pollak, president and chief developer of Athena Design, Inc. "I'm incredibly psyched to be able to deliver Mesa 2 to an enthusiastic OS/2 market place, and to all the people who had the faith in Mesa 2 to order the product sight unseen." As a native application, Mesa 2 thrives in OS/2's 32-bit environment. It offers context-sensitive pop-up menus and on-line help, as well as interoperability with other OS/2 applications. Each file is a 3-D workbook running in its own thread, meaning activity in one file won't interrupt users' work in another. Extensive graphing capabilities and REXX scripting language support help make Mesa 2 the spreadsheet of choice for the discriminating OS/2 user. In addition, access to real-time data feeds and an object library allow developers to integrate Mesa's spreadsheet functionality into their own custom applications. Mesa 2 is available at the special introductory price of $99 through January 15, 1995 plus shipping and handling. To order, customers may call 1-800-315-MESA or for international orders, contact your OS/2 reseller. This special offer comes with a full on-line user's manual, a printed "Getting Started" guide, and 90 days of free technical support via e-mail or fax. Customers may also order the printed version of the User's Guide for $19.95 (plus S&H). Athena Design, Inc. was founded in 1989 by David Pollak to manufacture and sell Mesa spreadsheet software for 32-bit operating environments.
