Magenta Research produced the first commercial communications package
for the Archimedes: U_Connect.

U_Connect II will be released in a RISC-OS compatible form, after 
considerable re-design of the user interface, to meet the requirements 
of, and take advantage of, the new multi-tasking WIMP environment.

We view RISC-OS as the best thing to happen in Acorn since sliced Hovis,
and we are considering a variety of new applications for the Archimedes,
under the general category of system maintenance and productivity tools.

First will be a Back-Up Utility, especially important for Hard-Disk and
Network users, supporting file compression, and flexible specification
options.

Another product is a Telephone Book, with all the normal features of an
address book database, plus dialling the number via a suitable modem
connected to the RS423 port.

We are also hoping to produce several programmers aids, including 
an interactive Help system for C and Assembler programmers.

Magenta is always interested to here from anyone who has written software 
for the Archimedes - especially WIMP based, using assembler or 'C'.
