Subject: COMMERCIAL: Epublisher makes Web better than AOL 

Our company has just released Epublisher with which it is possible to put
fonts, graphics and colors on Web pages. These pages will remain as fast
as plain HTML pages. If you are interested, check out our Web site. In
other words: this is the point point of evolution where the HTML ends
because publishers do not have to use HTML. Please check out this
technology, and after this: your comment is very welcome! 

Bellow is the announcement of our online publishing products.

EPUBLISHER and OPART
Advanced Control Data, Corp. is announcing two new online publishing packages
for the online market: EPUBLISHER and OPART.
Both products of "MADE IN THE NET", were developed  on several locations at
ACD offices all around the world, connected by the Internet.

EPUBLISHER ADDS MAGAZINE STYLE FEATURES TO YOUR WEB PAGES
***WITHOUT*** INCREASING THE SIZE OF YOUR HTML TEXT ONLY  DOCUMENT.

You can use 16 million colors, unlimited fonts, charts, graphics, and arts
and transfer EPUBLISHER documents 900-2000% faster than conventional
publishing files. The average length of a full color magazine-style screen
with graphics is less than 1000 BYTES. 

EPUBLISHER, an innovative idea from Advanced Control Data, is based on a
new protocol called "CONCISE".  On the HOST side, EPUBLISHER professional
editor converts the document into a very short ASCII command set and only
these commands go over the wires to the client side. On the client side, a
free viewer, called EPUBVIEW, executes these commands building up your
full color document.  The speed is extremely fast, a 6-8 page full color
document pops up on the caller's screen within seconds. In other words: we
take the load off the host and pass it to the client side. This technology
increases the number of online users by 200-400%. 

EPUBLISHER is a very sophisticated EDITOR/DRAWER/PAINTER program for
WINDOWS, like CorelDRAW or QUARKXPRESS with similar features but the
generated output is 10-20 times shorter, so the document transfer time is
10-20 times faster. 
 
OPART is similar to EPUBLISHER but is designed for the BBS style
publishing. If you are a publisher: EPUBLISHER is for a nationwide
publishing, OPART for your local, community newspaper accessible by easy
phone calls. We suggest you to follow these guidelines: 1. POINT your WEB
BROWSER to

   <URL:http://www.restonline.com/acd/info.html>    or
   <URL:http://www.advconeu.hu/> 
   and click on README FIRTS.
Note: Create a new MIME type/subtype in your Web browser: application/
x-epublisher.

Configure your Web browser to use the new MIME type with EPUBVIEW for the
*.EPB extension.  Then visit our WEB pages again. If you click
ITALIC-LETTER links, an EPUBLISHER DOCUMENTs will show up.
