LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1990 JAN 29 (NB) -- Nantucket Corporation, makers of the Clipper open-architecture application development system, has scheduled its first Australian Clipper Developers Conference for May 20-23, 1990 in Sydney. Larry Heimendinger, president and chief operating officer of Nantucket, explains that the Australian user base is one of the fastest growing Clipper communities in the world so the company has organized the conference to offer Australian users direct access to technical support and new products along with increased interface with other Clipper developers. Heimendinger is also planning a user group tour of Australia, Feb. 13-19 that will visit Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne during which he will discuss Clipper 5.0 with users. Conferences outside the US are not unusual for Nantucket. In 1989, the company hosted conferences in the United Kingdom, West Germany as well as at home in the US. To bolster the company's presence in Australia, Heimendinger has announced the signing of three new authorized resellers in that country, Data Base Advisors in Canberra, Talsoft in Sydney and RCM Software in Melbourne.
