`Mountain View-Sun Microsystems has added four tools to its suite of window-based tools for Open Look.
`
`The new calendar manager, print tool, tape tool and calculator raise to 12 the number of tools in the new version
`of Sun's DeskSet 1.0 environment. A Sun statement claimed that the newly released package is "the most
`extensive set of tools available on workstations today."
`
`Before this introduction, DeskSet had been available for X-based applications only. DeskSet was first released in
`April as part of the OpenWindows applications environment, built on the X11/NeWS window system. DeskSet
`allows developers to use a mouse for many commands that were previously keyboard-based.
`
`The initial eight tools were a file manager, mail tool, text editor, binder, icon editor, snapshot tool, performance
`meters and a clock.
`
`Sun predicted that the new tools-which can be run in either 2-D or 3-D-would "be of particular interest to
`independent software developers who use the SunView window system, since the new release enables them to
`add `drag and drop' functionality to their SunView applications."
`
`Sun said the new tools will be available during the first quarter of 1990. A right-to-use license for DeskSet 1.0 is
`issued free with every Sun workstation shipped, but tape and documentation cost $295.
`
`The suite is available on all Sun platforms and requires 4 Mbytes of memory.
`
`For more information, Sun can be reached at 415-960-1300.
