CONCURRENCE
Brought to you by Lighthouse Design, Ltd, the creators of Diagram!, Concurrence was the first integrated outlining and presentation software available for the NeXT platform. Concurrence took full advantage of NeXT's multimedia capabilities and allowed users to create high-quality on-screen presentations complete with sound recordings and file links, or output to any PostScript output device, from printers to 35mm slide makers.
With a built-in outliner that
went feature-for-feature with most word processors,
Concurrence was made for creating and maintaining
structure, from documents such as legal briefs and
discussion agendas, down to simple to-do lists. Rearranging
topics was a simple as picking them up and dragging them
around the screen. In addition, Concurrence's outliner
featured rapid collapse and expand topics, auto-labelling,
level formatting, and EMACS key bindings.
Using the audio capabilities built into every NeXT
computer, Concurrence supported the desktop-based creation
of on-screen presentations with voice and sound
accompaniment. In addition, Concurrence supported the "drag
and drop" incorporation of any encapsulated PostScript
(EPS) or tagged image file format (TIFF) image. For
screen-based presentations, Concurrence featureed a wide
variety of PostScript slide transitions such as dissolves,
wipes and scrolls. Slide sorting could be done on a
slide-by-slide basis, or entire modules of slides may be
moved together for more rapid sorting than conventional
"light table"-type sorters allow. Applying styles to large
presentations was simplified by using master slides for
each presentation view. Users may create an unlimited
number of master slides.
Concurrence easily maintained multiple presentations and
outlines as views within the same document so that changes
made to one presentation or outline were automatically
propagated to all other views of the document.
Concurrence's "Prepare for Mail" feature allowed users to
assemble self-contained presentations and distribut them
via NeXT Mail to NeXT users running Concurrence anywhere in
the world. In addition, users could create auto-repeating
on-screen presentations for applications such as
conferences and information centers.
Concurrence™ 2 was a significant upgrade to Concurrence
1.2. Concurrence 2 was a complete package, which provided
all the power you need to create polished
presentations—from 35-mm slides and overheads to viewgraphs
and on-line briefings. Concurrence 2 included powerful
features, like the ability to read and write Microsoft®
PowerPoint® files, support for NEXTSTEP Object Links,
automatic page numbering, speaker's notes and handouts,
customizable bullets, build and continuation slides, and
much more.
Concurrence 2 included a drag-and-drop oucline processor
that automated the preparation of structured documents.
Presentations and outlines were seamlessly integrated to
work together, allowing users to first prepare large
structured presentations in outline form and then
automatically format them into slides. In addition,
outlines and slides could be edited simultaneously,
enabling brainstorming and flexibility during the
presentation development process. Concurrence 2 accepted
over 30 standard image formats.
