SOFTMAGIC RELEASES A DEVELOPMENT KIT FOR ITS POWERCONTROL REMOTE CONTROL
FOR PC'S

WALTHAM, MA, March, 1995 -- SoftMagic Corp. announced the release of the
PowerControl Development Kit (PDK). The PDK will allow software developers
to add infrared remote control capability to their products by letting
their software communicate with SoftMagic's remote control and infrared
receiver directly. The PDK includes a Windows DLL for use with C/C++, a
Visual Basic custom control (VBX), and sample code. The PDK is available
to registered users of PowerControl free of charge.

The PDK requires hardware from SoftMagic's retail infrared remote control
product, PowerControl 2.0. PowerControl 2.0 includes an infrared remote
control unit, an infrared receiver that plugs into a serial port of an
IBM-compatible personal computer, and software. The software included with
PowerControl 2.0 is specifically designed for business presenters, where
ease-of-use and compatibility with a wide variety of presentation programs
are a must. The PDK, on the other hand, provides software developers with
direct access to the infrared receiver hardware, which allows a more
tightly integrated solution to be achieved.

Developers who wish to add infrared capability to their products can
customize their software using the PDK, and can obtain the necessary
hardware from SoftMagic Corp. Possible applications include adding
infrared capability to software included with TV Boards, PC/TV converters,
point-of-sale displays, or presentation graphics programs.

Interested developers can obtain PowerControl 2.0 and the PDK by calling
SoftMagic at (800) 672-9999, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. EST. PowerControl comes with
a 30-day money back guarantee, a full one-year warranty on all hardware
and free customer support. Customer support for the PDK will be offered
on-line. PowerControl 2.0's MSRP is $219.95
