Happy New Year from TeleGrafix:
Since you are an important colleague of ours in the online media
community, TeleGrafix is sending this short news release to brief you
about an important new Internet technology.
Following two years of development, TeleGrafix Communications
is offering you FREE communications software to try RIP-2 (Remote
Imaging Protocol-2). RIP-2 is a new technology that enables you to
create TV-style multimedia presentations or electronic newspapers
that fly through the Internet and ordinary phone lines at dazzling
speeds using regular modems. We expect RIP-2 to quickly become
an important Internet technical standard like HTML, Java or VRML.
We invite you to sample RIP-2 multimedia on TeleGrafix's Vector
Sector BBS at (714) 379-2133. To fully experience it, please
download the "shareware" RIPterm v2.2 communications software
from the BBS. RIPterm costs you nothing unless you choose to
register it with TeleGrafix for upgrades and tech support.
RIP-2 technical data and RIPterm v2.2 also are available for
download at http://www.telegrafix.com on the World Wide Web.
RIP-2 encodes graphics as hyper-compressed ASCII text files that
are as little as one-tenth the size of other formats, and introduces
new elements to online publishing such as multiple-column screen
layouts. RIP-2 is fully compatible with the Internet and any wired
or wireless communications networks that use 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII
text. It's the only online multimedia technology usable via any
communications link without special protocols such as TCP/IP,
dedicated servers or other custom software.
TeleGrafix is now accepting requests from software developers
and online system operators who want copies of the RIP-2 Internet
multimedia language specification when it is published in early 1996.
The first generation of RIP technology, introduced in 1993, is the
world's BBS graphics standard. It is used on thousands of BBS
systems, and is supported by dozens of online software vendors
including Delrina, Galacticomm, Hayes and Mustang.
Inexpensive RIPaint-2 multimedia authoring and publishing
software is available from TeleGrafix for US$99.95 through January
31, 1996. All purchases include 25 bonus copies of RIPterm
communications software valued at $500. Web browser "plug-ins"
are slated for release in early 1996. TeleGrafix will pay BBS sysops
and Internet webmasters who place RIP-2 software on their online
systems for public downloading. Details and applications are
available on the Vector Sector BBS and Web site.
Please help us update our mailing list. If you don't want to
learn more about RIP-2 technology, please send E-mail to the address
at the bottom of this letter and you will not receive any future
news releases.
We look forward to helping you, and we wish you a Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Pat Clawson Mark Hayton Jeff Reeder
