General Magic
     
        A software company based in Mountain View, California.
        Products released in 1994 after four years in development
        include: {Telescript} - a communications-oriented programming
        language; {Magic Cap} - an {OOPS} designed for {PDA}s; and a
        new, third generation {GUI}.  {Motorola}'s {Envoy}, due for
        release in the third quarter of 1994, will use {Magic Cap} as
        its {OS}.
     
        What {PostScript} did for cross-{platform}, device-independent
        documents, Telescript aims to do for cross-{platform},
        network-independent messaging.  Telescript protects
        programmers from many of the complexities of network
        protocols.
     
        Competitors for Magic Cap include {Microsoft}'s {Windows for
        Pens}/{Winpad}, {PenPoint}, {Apple Computer}'s {Newton
        Intelligence} and {GEOS} by {GeoWorks}.
