ANNOUNCE: 128-bit crypto: Fortify: MS-Windows GUI release
Farrell McKay
Sydney, Australia. (15 Dec, 1998). Two new versions of Fortify for Netscape
have been released and are now generally available.
Version 2.1.0 on Windows 95/98/NT presents a new native Windows GUI
interface to Fortify users. It has most of the standard Windows desktop
features we all know and love, plus a typical wizard-style dialog paradigm,
and it is delivered as a single self-extracting .exe file with installer.
In short, it is significantly easier to use.
Version 1.3.2 on Unix adds support for the complete set of Netscape v4.08
Unix browsers on all the currently supported Fortify platforms. This covers
both the 'supported' and 'unsupported' clusters, which Netscape released in
two stages approximately 5 weeks apart, in November and December.
Many thanks go to the multitude of beta-testers who volunteered their time
and services for these releases.
Both these releases are available immediately from the Fortify web site, at
http://www.fortify.net/, or from the Fortify mirror FTP sites (after
propagation is complete).
