Talus Corporation and the Electronic & Computer Science Center (ECSC) of the
Moscow Institute of Physics & Technology are happy to announce the beta release
of the first program written in Russia for the NeXT computer. 

Their first program, "pVisor",  is a 3D molecular visualization program that
allows the user to display any complex-molecule on the screen, rotate the
molecule in space and clip the molecule. There are several ways to display the
molecule using the surfacing mode, lines, and balls, in any combination.  It
uses a very fast renderer and gives the user extremely flexible control over
the molecule display.  pVisor will read Cambridge Structural Database, Protein
Data Bank, Alchemy, and pVisor proprietary formats.

The French version of pVisor will be ready for beta testing on August 15th, and
will be followed by the German version in late August.  A Kanji version of
pVisor  will be released to coincide with the release of the Kanji version of
NeXTSTEP 3.0.

The ECSC expects to have their second program, PhysicsED, released to beta  
sites in September.  PhysicsED is a course consisting of a physics guide and a  
group  of simulation programs designed to demonstrate various physical  
processes and phenomena.  The course targets universities and secondary  
education, and was designed for use in both lecture demonstrations as well as  
for individual study.

Talus Corporation will distribute and support ECSC products in the U.S., Europe  
and Japan.  Talus Corporation expects to release a new Russian written NeXTSTEP  
software product every two months through 1992.  New product releases for  
September and October are already scheduled.

If you're interested in assisting us in the beta testing process, please send  
us the following information:

1) Name & position
2) Name of school or company
3) Address
4) Office & home phone
5) E-mail address
6) The NeXT hardware that you'll be testing it on.
7) Your profession, along with a brief description of your field of expertise               
and how you might make use of a molecular visualization program.

Please send your information to: ed@talus.mipt.su

The final release of pVisor is scheduled for September 15th, 1992.
Thanks for your help and please feel free to drop us a line in Moscow...just to
