J Street Mailer is one of the first comprehensive email programs and one of the first general user applications written completely in Java. InnoVal will unveil the J Street Mailer at a meeting of the New York City PC Club's OS/2 SIG on January 14. Dan Porter, InnoVal's president, will demonstrate the product and discuss the importance of Java for OS/2. In mid-February, Porter will demonstrate the J Street Mailer again at a meeting of the Montreal OS/2 Users Group. "This has been the most exciting and ambitious project we have ever worked on," said Porter. InnoVal is now accepting memberships in a J Street Mailer Charter User Group. Group members will receive access to any and all beta and preview releases of the J Street Mailer throughout a two to three-month product test cycle. At the conclusion of the beta program, charter group members will receive a license for the production "gold" code and a one-year upgrade subscription. The enrollment fee for the Charter Users Group is $40.00 US. See InnoVal's web site at www.innoval.com for details on how to become a charter member. The first beta release of J Street Mailer is scheduled for January 30, 1998. Beta releases will only be available to Charter Users Group members and journalists. InnoVal will be inviting journalists from software trade publications and e-zines to try the beta software and participate in email discussions with beta testers. "It's unusual for a beta program to be completely open to journalists in this way," said Porter. "We are going to be very pro-active with the press. This is software for serious email and we plan to use it to demonstrate the full capabilities of Java for comprehensive and feature-rich applications. With the help of public relations consultants, we hope to engage members of the press with our users." "A significant presence of OS/2 users in the charter group is essential. OS/2 is rapidly becoming the best and most promising platform for Java," Porter stressed. "We believe that Java is not only important to the future of OS/2 but that OS/2 is important to the future of Java. We want to get this message out." J Street Mailer requires Java 1.1.4 or later. InnoVal will provide links to appropriate releases of Java and complete installation instructions.
