QREAD'S NEW TRICKS ARE A TREAT FOR USERS

Westford, MA - October 30, 1993 - DS Products today released a new version
of its text file viewer program, QRead. Three main features were added to
QRead's bag of tricks: drag-and-drop support, printing and filtering.

QRead, which operates with Microsoft Windows 3.1, provides features to make
it easier to read text files on a computer display. For example, automatic
font sizing or automatic formatting can be used to fit the text to the
window.

Qread also allows the user to manually "pump up" or deflate the font size
with one keystroke.

"QRead has made it quick and easy to read documents on your screen. Now
with version 1.2 we make it easier to get information into and out of the
QRead environment. In these days of information overload, you need tools
like QRead to help manage information" said Dan Scavezze, President of DS
Products.

With the new drag-and-drop support, a user can display a file simply by
dragging its name (as shown in the file manager) over to the QRead icon.
When the user "drops" the file name (releases the mouse button), the QRead
window is restored to normal size and the file is displayed.

The QRead print menu allows printing of the current window or the entire
file. As with the QRead screen display, the printout can use any of the
"fancy fonts" installed in windows, as well as the default text font for
the printer.

According to Scavezze, some of QRead's beta test users have set up QRead as
the default association for text files (.txt files). He noted that "while
QRead is a read-only program, you can launch an editor, or any other
program, from within QRead. And QRead breaks the 32K barrier inherent with
Notepad." Beta user Dick Davis agrees. "I find QRead extremely useful. Now
that it has printing, I use it every day at work."

QRead has also been discussed in the ZiffNet Editorial forums under the
topic "read any good disks lately." Since reading anything on the small
screen size of a laptop computer is a big problem, QRead's font sizing
ability makes it attractive to traveling readers, such as editors. Jim
Seymour, Contributing Editor at PC Magazine, described the program as
"*verrrrrry* nice!"

QRead is a shareware program, available on-line via CompuServe in the
WINSHARE forum, FILE UTILITIES library (lib 2) and from other shareware
distributors. The license fee is $20. The file name is QREA12.ZIP.
