TORONTO, ONT - December 12, 1995 - Delrina Group, Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ:SYMC), the world's leading supplier of PC communications software, today shipped its much-awaited Internet client software for Microsoft Windows 95, Delrina Cyberjack 7.0. Today's announcement delivers on Delrina's "PC Communications at Your Command" vision designed to provide the easiest and richest communications experience available on a PC today. Cyberjack, the first Windows 95 compliant and logo'd Internet suite, lifts the surfing experience on the Internet to unprecedented heights through its Guidebook technology and full complement of Internet tools, which help people get productive on the Internet easily and quickly. Simultaneous with the product shipment, Delrina is announcing an agreement with CompuServe's Internet and Network Services Divisions to offer one-button Internet access within the Cyberjack package. Additionally, users without an Internet Service Provider (ISP) can take advantage of CompuServe's RAMP (Remote Account Maintenance Protocol) capability and vast dial-up network to automatically register and access the Internet. Cyberjack enables users to experience the full power of the Internet, by Providing full-featured client applications including: a Web browser; USENet News reader; FTP (File Transfer Protocol) file transfer; Internet chatting sessions (IRC - Internet Relay Chat); e-mail via Microsoft Exchange (the built-in e-mail client software in Windows 95); search capabilities with Gopher and Archie; Image and Zip managers with built-in Norton Anti-Virus; and more. The product embraces the Cyberjack Guidebook as its central feature, which enables users to save, sort and categorize Internet sites. Guidebook includes more than 500 pre-listed sites of interest that provide instant access and navigation of the Internet. "Cyberjack organizes the Internet into a manageable and usable information resource," said Bert Amato, vice president, Delrina Group. "It ties together all of the key services of the Internet -- from Archie to Web -- automatically, providing the kind of seamless operation between the PC and the Net people have been searching for. It's ironic that until now, users must have a note pad by their side to write down cryptic addresses and information. In Cyberjack for example, if you see a Web address in a news group, all you have to do is right click on it and Cyberjack will automatically launch the Web browser and take you there." "Cyberjack is designed to take off the rough edges in experiencing the Internet," said Chris LeTocq, software analyst with Dataquest of San Jose, Calif. "Cyberjack provides the most complete Windows 95 Internet integration we have seen. The Cyberjack Guidebook technology not only provides new users with a solid jumping off point for the Web, it also provides experienced users with a powerful tool to organize their Internet resources. In addition, both the Guidebook and Cyberjack itself can be updated across the Net. Cyberjack is the next generation of Internet access products." Keeping Current with Online Updates Cyberjack includes two unique update capabilities, one for accessing new content for the Guidebook and a second for automatically getting program upgrades and maintenance releases. Delrina maintains a special Guidebook server on the Internet where new sites of interest and hot spots are placed in a "remote" Guidebook. Users can transparently access the remote Guidebook directly in Cyberjack across the Internet as if the locations were on their local machine. Double-clicking on a location icon launches the appropriate Internet application taking the user there. Users can also drag a location from the remote Guidebook into their own Guidebook or directly onto their Windows 95 Desktop. In addition, Cyberjack includes a menu item that, when selected, automatically checks itself against new features and updates posted by Delrina. The updates occur automatically across the Internet without the user having to download a patch in a separate application. Connecting to the Internet Cyberjack makes use of the built-in TCP/IP stack in Windows 95, which makes connecting to the Internet through any ISP very straightforward. To assist first time Internet users, however, Cyberjack includes an install Wizard that helps the user enter the appropriate values and settings for dial-up and/or LAN access. Included with the standalone version of Cyberjack 7.0 is Delrina WinComm PRO 7.0 for Windows 95, a full-featured, graphically-based, general purpose data communications software package for accessing BBSs (Bulletin Boards Services), host computers through terminal emulation and other non-Internet online services, such as MCI Mail. The product supports the new standards in non-Internet graphical bulletin boards through RIP (Remote Image Processing). It also shares the same built-in components as Cyberjack:Image Manager, which lets people view image files as they are downloaded and then edit and manipulate them; ZIP Manager, which lets users manage compressed files visually; and the "on-the-fly" virus detection through Norton Anti-Virus, which protects users from accidentally downloading files that contain viruses. WinComm PRO also has a new VisualBasic-like scripting language making it easier to customize for any communications task or session. Introductory Price Promotion The expected street price of Cyberjack (including WinComm PRO) will be US$79 (Cdn$129). Effectively immediately until February 29, 1996, Delrina is providing dealer incentives which should result in Cyberjack being available at an estimated street price of $49 (Cdn $69). Cyberjack requires a 486 computer running Windows 95, with a minimum of 8MB RAM (16MB recommended). Both Cyberjack and WinComm PRO require 24MB disk space for a full installation. Both Cyberjack and WinComm are also available as part of Delrina CommSuite(tm) 95, which also includes WinFax(tm) PRO 7.0 (fax, paging and e-mail integration), and TalkWorks(tm) (voice messaging/telephony).
