ADAMATION'S SHIPS WHAT'S HAPPENING?
A Professional Group Scheduler for NeXTSTEP

Oakland, CA.  October 14, 1992.  Oakland based software developer
Adamation today announced the shipping of its group scheduling
application, What's Happening? for the NeXTSTEP operating system.

What's Happening? is a powerful, full-featured, and intuitive
scheduler for individual users and workgroups.  The program offers
the most extensive and advanced group calendaring features available
for NeXTSTEP.  What's Happening? allows users to simultaneously
schedule events for multiple people, view calendars for a group in
several graphical formats and easily locate mutually available time
slots for group meetings.

Highlighted below are some of sophisticated features of What's
Happening?:

 - Create events that are confirmed, tentative, or recurring
 - Make events private, readable or writable with individual
     security settings
 - View events in both textual and graphical formats
 - Schedule events by typing directly on the calendar views
 - Carry To-Dos forward until they're completed
 - Schedule events for multiple people by highlighting available
     times then, titling the event
 - Customize the displayed time span and number of events displayed
     per time period
 - Annotate events with voice comments and attach files from the File
     Viewer
 - Be reminded of important events by the voice tickling system
 - Generate detailed reports of To Dos and scheduled events

What's Happening? was designed to provide NeXTSTEP users an extensive
range of scheduling features and functionality in an intuitive
interface.  The program was developed to take full advantage of
advanced technology offered in NeXTSTEP.

Adamation President Stephan Adams said "The development of a broad
based, sophisticated yet simple to use business productivity tool for
NeXTSTEP such as What's Happening? shows Adamation's innovative
strength and leadership in application development for this important
platform."  NeXT Computer is very committed to working with Adamation
to provide applications for its, burgeoning client base.  NeXT's
Acting Director of Developer Relations, Mr. David Grady said
"Adamation and "What's Happening?" demonstrate NeXTSTEP's superior
functionality for the marketplace.  What's Happening? highlights the
sophisticated uses that NeXTSTEP was designed for, and in this
particular case, adds enhanced functionality in the very important
area of group scheduling."

The single user version of What's Happening? retails for $XXX.
Network pricing varies depending on system configuration.  The
program can be purchased through NeXTConnection or any NeXT reseller.
