BENEFITS
KEYview saves time
With KEYview, there is no need to launch an application to view an attachment. Simply “double-
click” or “drag-and-drop” to instantly view a file from within your e-mail application. KEYview
automatically identifies more than 195 file types by file contents, not file extension. This is important for e-
mail users reaching out to other systems (Mac, UNIX, IBM, DEC ...) that don’t use DOS file name
conventions.
KEYview is everywhere you need it to be
KEYview is simple to install and as easy to use as your favorite e-mail or document management
system. Fully integrated into the Windows File Manager and popular e-mail and groupware packages, like
HP OpenMail, Lotus cc:Mail, Lotus Notes and Microsoft Mail, KEYview also includes integrations into
several popular Internet access tools, including the Mosaic browser in Explore OnNet.
File views you can save and use
KEYview gives you more than just a file “snap-shot.” KEYview includes integrated document
converters that allow you to convert almost any file you can view bi-directionally among any of the leading
word processing formats - including the latest versions of WordPerfect and Microsoft Word - and hard to
find legacy formats from Wang, DEC, and others. KEYview even has an optional module that allows you
to import and export any of more than 30 file types into and out of Lotus Notes.
Support for multiple network users
System administrators can install KEYview directly on the network, from which end users can load
copies of KEYview directly on their PCs. KEYview helps conserve PC disk space by giving users the
flexibility to choose only the viewer and converter formats they need. If users encounter a file in a format
they did not select, KEYview will search the network copy and enable the appropriate viewer or
converter.
