MBS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. SIGNS SOFTWARE RESOURCE, INC. FOR BUSINESS MARKET DISTRIBUTION Arcadia, CA, August 1992...MBS Technologies, Inc. has just signed Software Resource, Inc. as a distributor of its just introduced software product, FileRunner. "This is an expansion of our marketing effort," according to MBS Technologies' president, Bernee D. L. Strom. "Software Resource has an excellent reputation with over 20,000 dealers, VARs and developers nationally and internationally that focus on the business software market." Isaac Ash, president of Software Resource, says, "FileRunner is an important new development in the business environment, being the first of a new class of utility software for people who regularly use more than one PC. It is designed to make life easier for the businessman who works on the same files on multiple computers. With the large number of people who regularly transfer data between networked and non-networked PCs, or a PC at home and one at the office, there is a huge potential market for FileRunner that we are looking forward to serving." 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: Bob Nadler starts his review in the Aug. 1992 issue of Computer Buying World with, "Wouldn't it be nice if each time you saved a file on your office system, you could wave a magic wand to synchronize the files on all your other computers? Just one wave would ensure that the files you use on your PC at work, your home system and your notebook were all the same, eliminating confusion and the risk of data loss. Technology hasn't advanced to the magicwand level yet, but MBS Technologies has come close with FileRunner, a program that provides a simple means of transferring and synchronizing files between computers. In a normal transfer, the most recent files will always overwrite less recent versions. However, FileRunner won't make such an irreversible transfer without first asking your permission....Once setup, it simplifies and speeds a tricky job." 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, Inc. 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.
