Agent 4.0

In January 2003, we made a strategic decision to enhance Agent's internal architecture. You've experienced the initial benefits of this effort with the release of Agent 3.0 followed by a series of timely upgrades.

For over a year, we've been quietly leveraging the new architecture to develop Agent 4.0, a major upgrade for both Usenet and email users. Agent 4.0 has already been in Alpha Trial for over 6 months. In a few weeks, we will release Agent 4.0 to the Beta Team for widespread use and feedback.

Forté

Forte is focused on developing new email and newsreader functionality for the Agent family of products. We are also developing new service offerings to complement Forte's Agent Premium News (APN) Service.

The Forté Team
