GAINESVILLE, FL, August 20, 2002 - Digi-Net Technologies, Inc., a leader in real-time messaging technology for e-commerce and community building applications, today announced the release of DigiChat™ v4.0.
DigiChat v4.0 combines the strength and reliability of the past award-winning versions with some new features that far exceed those offered by competing applications. The new version includes a completely redesigned interface and BOT support, which allows users to add functionality such as real-time language translation and local weather reports within the chat window with our open Java-based API. Other features include automated flood control, file transfer/sharing capabilities, support for webcast chat events and support for interface themes (skins).
“We are very excited with the continuing success of DigiChat,” said Robert Parker, President and CEO of Digi-Net. “DigiChat v4.0 is the culmination of years of experience in the community building arena and significant contributions and feedback from our customers.”
DigiChat is the market-share leader in Java™ chat software solutions. It’s proven interface and rock solid stability and compatibility have led to more than ten thousand site licenses sold to date. DigiChat maintains versions for most platforms including Mac, Windows, 9x/NT/2000/XP, Linux, UNIX, Solaris and others. DigiChat v4.0 was designed to raise the bar for community-oriented chat applications.
”Digi-Net has developed some very solid products and DigiChat is an excellent example,” said Jon Deragon, Director of Visca Online. I would highly recommend DigiChat to anyone wanting to add an affordable, stable and complete Java chat program to their site.”
