Subject: Codeweavers Crossover Plugin
CodeWeavers Announces CrossOver PluginTM Version 1.1, Offering Fast,
Easy Multi-User Installation Adapter for Linux Web Browsers Can Roll Out
to Thousands of Desktops Without Reconfiguration; Solution Supports
Viewing of MS Office, QuickTime, Windows Media Player, Shockwave Files.
ST. PAUL, MN (February 27, 2002) CodeWeavers, Inc., a leading
Windows-to-Linux software developer, today unveiled CrossOver Plugin
Version 1.1, the newest version of the company's leading
Windows-To-Linux adapter for Windows browser plugins and email viewers.
Among its many improvements, CrossOver Plugin 1.1 provides new support
for multi-user environments, enabling quick and easy rollout to
literally thousands of desktops without reconfiguration.
CrossOver Plugin, introduced in August 2001, allows users to access
popular Windows files and plug-ins in all of the most popular Linux web
browsers and email clients. Along with the ability to open MS Office
documents (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) and eFax files in any KDE or GNOME
application, CrossOver Plugin 1.1 now supports Windows Media Player
streams opened in a Linux web browser. This new Media Player
functionality adds to CrossOver Plugin 1.1's support for Apple QuickTime
and Macromedia Shockwave Director. Also new to CrossOver Plugin 1.1 is
acceptance for all TrueType fonts as well as: RealPlayer files; the iPIX
plugin; Macromedia Authorware; Trillian, a convergent instant messaging
plugin that supports AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo
Messenger; and Chime, a scientific plugin used in the chemical industry
as well as many colleges and universities.
"CrossOver Plugin 1.1 is now the fastest, most convenient and
cost-effective way for large enterprises to support the most popular
Windows-based files across Linux desktops and workstations," said Jeremy
White, founder and president of CodeWeavers. "In minutes, CrossOver
Plugin 1.1 can enable the workflow for literally thousands of employees
with a single configuration. This new version of CrossOver Plugin will
only enhance its wide acceptance in both academic and corporate
environments."
Using proprietary extensions developed by CodeWeavers, CrossOver Plugin
interfaces between the Windows application and Wine, allowing the
application to run correctly in Linux. The software supports most Linux
browsers including Netscape, Mozilla, Konqueror, Opera, SkipStone and
Galeon.
Since its unveiling last year, CrossOver Plugin has received unusually
good feedback from customers around the world. CrossOver Plugin 1.1 is
immediately available for $24.95 via download from the CodeWeavers' Web
site, www.codeweavers.com; a CD version, priced at $34.95, is also
available.
CodeWeavers also offers SDKs for CrossOver Plugin 1.1 as well as
licensing agreements that authorize use of the software in embedded
applications.
