Pyramid Design Announces FTP Suite Strategy
Company Previews 3.0 Features and Introduces New Upgrade Policy
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (September 17, 2003) -- Pyramid Design
announced the company's intentions for long term development for FTP
Suite, a set of classes and code modules that allows FTP operations to be
implemented in REALbasic applications.
3.0 Feature Preview
"The next version of FTP Suite will once again add features that our
customers have been asking for," Pyramid Design president Joe Nastasi
stressed. "Constant improvements and support is something FTP Suite
users can count on."
Announced 3.0 features will include:
Multiple Language Capability All messages generated by FTP Suite
will be constants, stored in an open code module, to facilitate
multiple language support.
Variable Send Buffer Size The size of the send buffer will be
adjustable under program control.
Status Events An open Status Class will provide three Events that
can be utilized to report Errors, Transfer Status and Transfer
Successful events. All Events include a message parameter appropriate
to the event.
Fine Transfer Sequence Control FTP Logon/Logoff, Single File
Put/Get/Delete, Directory Change and Directory List functions are now
separate sequences that can be executed in whatever order the
application requires.
Version 3.0 is currently under development and is tentatively scheduled
for release in November, 2003.
New Upgrade Policy
Starting immediately, upgrade pricing will be $9.95 for a Hobbyist and
$19.95 for a Professional license. Source code licenses are not
affected and Source code licensees can request the latest version at
any time. Hobbyist and Professional pricing remains at $29.95/$59.95
respectively.
The Professional and Hobbyist licenses include all upgrades and bug
fixes within the major revision number. In other words, a purchase of a
2.0 license will include any release from 2.0 to 2.9. In the past,
Pyramid Design has issued a minimum of four minor releases per major
version.
"It was becoming apparent that FTP Suite was growing in usage and there
is a cost associated with supporting the product that had to be
addressed," explained Mr. Nastasi. "Charging for upgrades will allow us
to dedicate more resources to the product."
