Arcadia, CA, July 13, 1992...MBS Technologies, Inc. has just signed Merisel, Inc. as a distributor of its just introduced software product, FileRunner. "This is an important part of MBS Technologies, Inc.'s marketing effort," according to MBS president, Bernee D. L. Strom, "since Merisel supplies software to 50,000 resellers worldwide through 20 distribution centers in North America, Europe, Latin America and Australia. " John Connors, president of Merisel, says, "FileRunner represents a whole new class of utility software and is designed to make life easier for the multi-computer user. As more users become networked, the need to supply the channel with the best utility software brands increases. MBS Technologies' approach to marketing FileRunner was a key reason why we wanted to be the first to distribute it worldwide." FileRunner solves a critical problem faced by anyone who uses more than one PC, and needs to transfer data from one PC to others. The problem is -- how to safely get the latest version of each of your important files onto all of the PCs you use. Designed to automate and safeguard file transfer, the FileRunner program is very easy to use and does not require any cables, modems or network hardware. It simply uses a floppy disk and proprietary Overwrite Safeguard algorithms to transfer and maintain identical files on each of your PCs. It literally synchronizes the files on all your PCs. The first reviews of FileRunner included glowing comments. Bruce Brown of PC Magazine writes in the July issue, "...FileRunner can save you plenty of time and aggravation when you need the right file in the right place at the right time." Quabidur R. Safi of PC Week (May 11, 1992) writes, "...the process was so simple that PC Week Labs did not have to open the manual." "I have longed for a program that would easily copy files that are in multiple directories onto a diskette and then back onto the second computer, keeping track of when and where different versions were created. Now there is an innovative product that does just what I dreamed about, and more: MBS Technologies' FileRunner....All in all, a very handy program. I highly recommend FileRunner to anyone who routinely moves between computers at several locations and is tired of always carrying one of the machines and the required connecting cables," writes Ed Kahn in the June 8, 1992 edition of MicroTimes. The FileRunner package contains both 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" FileRunner program diskettes, a complete easy-to-read User's Guide and a warranty card. The programs sells for $99.95. The FileRunner program is the flagship product of MBS Technologies, Inc. The company, founded in 1991, publishes computer software that improves the productivity of users in today' s multi-computer environment. MBS Technologies, 34 W.
