Miramar has announced an update to PC MACLAN, its PC to Mac connectivity software, to version 7.2. PC MacLan allows PCs to work with Macs as if they were PCs, an important tool for mixed platform houses. Miramar has included focused on network performance and features with this release.

Version 7.2 Enhancements

  • IP (Internet Protocol) support for Windows 98 -- With IP support, Windows 98 PCs can access any AppleShare IP 5.0 server whether it's located on a company's LAN, satellite office on its WAN, or across the globe over the Internet or its intranet.
  • Server icons reside in the System Tray -- The print and file server icons "minimize" to the System Tray as utilities, allowing more space on the Task Bar for commonly used applications. Desktop workspace and efficiency is thereby increased.
  • Accurate display of large volume files -- By incorporating AFP 2.2, volume file sizes greater than 2 GB are accurately displayed; especially useful for large graphics and database files.
  • Server messaging -- Enhanced messaging capabilities enable file servers immediate communication with clients upon log-on. Clients can be notified of important pending events, server information or scheduled shut-down times.
  • Simplified installation -- Users will be up and running quicker with the simplified installer that configures for LAN operation and automatically binds to the active adapter card. Custom installation allows remote access configuration.
  • Easy conversion from demo to working version -- The AppleTalk Control Panel enables demo users to convert to a full working version by simply typing the registration number into the control panel without having to uninstall then re-install the software.
  • Online Registration -- Software registration can now be conveniently completed online.

The suggested retail price for PC MACLAN for Windows 95/98 v7.2 is $199. The product is available now.
