The Andrew Consortium           of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon                           is pleased to announce                            AUIS 5.1.1 for AIX3.2                                  4/26/93  The Andrew User Interface System version 5.1 (our CDrom version) was developed for AIX  version 3.1 on the IBM RS/6000 and many other platforms.  To accomodate AIX version 3.2, we have created a patch to the sources.  The patch and accompanying instructions for its application can be retrieved at no charge via anonymous-ftp from the internet host emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu (128.2.45.40) in the directory ./aixpatch.  For those without internet access, a 3.5" diskette can be ordered for $10 by sending, or faxing, a purchase order to the address below.   The base 5.1 system can be ordered from us as a CDrom or ftp'ed from the same host.  Note that this patch adds no additional functionality but simply allows AUIS to compile under AIX3.2.  -----------  The Andrew User Interface System (AUIS) is a comprehensive environment on top of X11 windows in which you can create, use, and mail multi-media applications and documents.   A major advantage of AUIS is the capability to recursively embed objects.  Thus, one can edit text that not only contains multiple fonts, indentation, and other typography, but also  contains embedded raster images, spreadsheets, drawing editors, equations, simple animations, and so on. These embedded objects can themselves contain other objects, including text.  AUIS has three components:      The Andrew User Environment is an integrated and extensible set     of applications beginning with the ez text editor, a help     system, a system monitoring tool, an editor-based shell     interface, and other editors corresponding to the various     available types of objects.       The Andrew Toolkit (ATK) is a portable, object-oriented     user-interface toolkit that provides the architecture wherein     objects can be embedded in one-another.  With the toolkit,     programmers can create new objects that can be embedded as     easily as those that come with the system.       The Andrew Message System (AMS) provides a multi-media interface     to mail and bulletin-boards.  AMS supports several mail     management strategies and implements many advanced  features     including authentication, return receipts, automatic sorting of     mail, vote collection and tabulation, enclosures, audit trails     of related messages, and subscription management. It also     provides a variety of interfaces that support ttys and     low-function personal computers in addition to high-function     workstations.   The current public release of Andrew, Version 5.1,  includes support for the new Internet MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) standards for multipart, multimedia mail.  A newer release, 5.2, for members of the Andrew Consortium has numerous additional features including new editors for drawings, images, fonts, and user preferences.   Remote Andrew Demo Service  You can try out Andrew from your own work station via the Remote Andrew Demo Service.  You need a host machine on the Internet running the X11 window system.  You'll be able to compose multimedia documents, navigate through the interactive Andrew Tour, and use the Andrew Message System to browse through a few of CMU's four thousand bulletin boards and newsgroups.  To get started with the Remote Andrew Demo service, simply run the following command on your machine:  	finger help@atk.itc.cmu.edu  The service will give you further instructions.
