DowVision(TM) comes to NeXTSTEP
MONTREAL, Canada. March 12, 1993 - Hutchison Avenue Software
announced today HRT News, bringing Dow Jones' DowVision composite
news feed to computers running NeXTSTEP.
DowVision is a comprehensive information service that delivers
customized business news and information provided by wires such as
The Wall Street Journal (R), directly to desktop computers, allowing
for broadcast distribution and interactive retrieval simultaneously
over the same physical link, with Dow Jones' renowned accuracy and
rapid delivery.
HRT News is a family of products running on NeXTSTEP, giving users
access to DowVision on personal workstations, or in a network
environment. HRT News is composed of a database/network server, a
client application, and a developer's kit.
The server's database holds articles for 180 days (or more if you
choose), and maintains full text indexes on headlines and article
text so you can perform rapid word searches for historical searching
and cross referencing. The server supports multiple clients on an
ethernet network, supplying news retrieval as well as real-time
headline broadcast for access to news as it happens.
The client application allows for article profiling through the use
of a powerful and customizable filtering engine, which means that
you're not bothered by news that doesn't fit your definition of
what's important. The client gives full access to keyword and
metadata searches within the server's database, as well as
point-and-click article retrieval.
Since HRT News was designed and developed from scratch using NeXT's
revolutionary NeXTSTEP (TM) object oriented environment, HRT News is
a very dynamic and powerful environment for application developers.
Developer's needing real-time news in mission critical applications
can use the HRT NewsKit and have the full functionality of the HRT
News client in their applications, with the addition of a single line
of code. If developers need to get closer to the data, the HRT
NewsKit provides three layers of abstraction, in order to supply the
needed flexibility to get at the news, with minimal effort.
HRT News will be available at the end of Q2, on any and all computers
running NeXTSTEP.
