MSM-Server for Windows NT

Trying to decide between MSM for Windows 95 and WIndows NT? Want to learn the dirffferences between the two products? Check out the MSM for Windows 95 and MSM for Windows NT comparison.

MSM-Server for Windows NT lets you “plug and play.”
When you want to add new peripheral devices to your MSM-Server for Windows NT system, it's easy. You simply “plug and play.” Unlike PC-based systems, which directly control devices, MSM-Server for Windows NT supports hardware devices using standard operating system interfaces.

MSM-Server for Windows NT offers built-in Telnet support.
Telnet, which comes built-in with MSM-Server for Windows NT, eliminates routing hassles and even comes license-free. It also gives you the ability to allow Internet users to dial into your MSM-based system. For the first time, you can make your MSM database available to the rapidly growing world of cyberspace—all with MSM-Server for Windows NT.

MSM-Server for Windows NT also offers the same LAT technology available in our other MSM server products as an optional add-on. LAT or Telnet: the choice is yours.

MSM-Server for Windows NT fully supports client/server.
MSM-Server for Windows NT offers complete three-tier client/server support that gives you maximum flexibility—you can set up your system however you like. This powerful solution automates the distribution of the presentation, application, and data management tiers across the network.

MSM-Server for Windows NT lets you create GUI interfaces and runs CHUI-based systems, too.
For your client needs, you may want to consider using MSM-Activate, which allows you to create front-ends for your MSM databases using virtually any commercially available tool, such as Visual Basic and Delphi. By combining MSM-Activate and MSM-Server for Windows NT, you can develop true client/server applications without the need for MSM on the desktop.

Another option for building M-based systems is MSM-Workstation. This solution offers a true desktop client product for client/server architectures, as well as an integrated development and runtime environment. MSM-Workstation runs as a native 32-bit application (rather than as a DOS box) under Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95. Best of all, MSM-Workstation allows you to package new or existing applications as .EXE programs and distribute these files royalty-free.

Finally, if you are currently supporting character-based applications, you can use MSM-Server for Windows NTand MSM-Workstation, too. These products support M-based, CHUI applications by emulating a PC console.

MSM-Server for Windows NT is fully compatible.
Like all MSM server products, MSM-Server for Windows NT is completely compatible with all of our other servers, including MSM-Server for DOS, and MSM-Server for UNIX. This means that applications built on other supported platforms can be moved easily to MSM-Server for Windows NT. You can also share your MSM database with MSM-based applications running on any supported server.

Best of all, it's easy to upgrade from MSM-Server for DOS.
There's great news for our MSM-Server for DOS developers: upgrading to MSM-Server for Windows NT is simple. You can use your existing database with MSM-Server for Windows NT--there's usually no conversion required. In addition, you usually do not need to modify MSM-Server for DOS-built applications to run under MSM-Server for Windows NT. Finally, this solution supports all popular hardware using standard interfaces. As many of our satisfied users tell us, conversion to MSM-Server for Windows NT just couldn't be easier.
