PROVIDES FULL WINDOWS NETWORK-COMPATIBILITY

Version 3.0 Offers High-Speed PC-to-PC Data Transfers in GUI;
New MagicLynx Feature Takes Peripheral Sharing to New Heights

December 30, 1993 -- PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Rupp Technology Corporation is now
shipping volume quantities of FastLynx 3.0, a new generation of PC-to-PC
file transfer utility equipped with full Windows graphical interface,
background file transfers and the first of several new Expanding
Connectivity Technology (ECT) features exclusive to Rupp products.

ECT enhancements to the new FastLynx include MagicLynx -- an advanced
resource sharing feature that allows complete and easy access to any and
all peripheral devices connected to linked computer systems -- as well as
mouse support for both DOS and Windows. Also key to FastLynx 3.0 are added
file and disk management capabilities such as FX Sync -- a file and drive
"synchronizing" feature -- and cross-directory tagging.

"For version 3.0, we've streamlined the operation of our flagship product
by converting its device driver into a TSR, (Terminate and Stay Resident),
program called MagicLynx," explained Rupp Technology Vice-President Shelly
Lipkin.

According to Lipkin, MagicLynx allows such improved resource sharing
features as the ability to access any and all connected disk drives, file
servers, CDROM drives and printers -- multi-directionally -- from any
station via a Novell IPX network driver or similar local area network
(LAN) arrangement, while operating in the background to allow unrestricted
use.

The MagicLynx TSR program can also provide complete data security and
password protection on any specific drive a user wishes to remove from the
pool of shared devices, or share with only selected users.

In all, the product's enhanced device sharing functions give users access
to an unlimited number of peripherals connected across local area network
environments.

In addition, FastLynx 3.0 has added several new file and disk management
capabilities allowing for cross directory "tagging" (i.e. selection of
files for transfer), retagging, reverse tagging, search and tag by
selected attributes (name, date, time, etc.), and the complete
"synchronizing" of drives through the FXSync feature so that two connected
computers will end up with identical files without the user having to make
visual comparisons.

Among the dozens of new features and capabilities that boost FastLynx
performance in both DOS and Windows environments are such time saving
functions as a simplified, fully-automated installation process and
increased report-generating or "scripting" functions -- including the
ability to create editable, re-usable lists of transfer operations.

Standard features still part of the new FastLynx include file compression,
automatic upload via "cloning," an online diagnostic program, auto port
and auto speed select functions, and error correction support.

Far and away the industry's fastest file transfer option for PCs, FastLynx
has been clocked at speeds up to 1300K baud when transferring files via
parallel mode between 486-based PCs, making it up to 100 percent faster
than the best transfer speeds specified by its nearest competitors. As a
result, the latest version of Rupp's award-winning PC-to-PC file transfer
software represents the company's most pronounced software upgrade to
date.

Version 3.0 comes equipped with both 3 1/2- and 5 1/4-inch floppy disks and
two cables -- a four-headed 7-wire serial cable equipped with both 9 and
25 pin connectors on each end, and a proprietary 18-wire parallel cable.
System software requirements for running FastLynx 3.0 include DOS version
3.0 or later.

FastLynx 3.0 will soon be available coast-to-coast at a suggested U.S.
retail price of $169.95. Upgrades for registered users of previous
versions of FastLynx and its predecessor, Fastwire, are available for
$39.95.

In the U.S., FastLynx and other Rupp products are being distributed to
computer product outlets nationwide through Ingram Micro, Merisel and
Kenfil Distribution. In Canada, distribution is being handled by Canadian
Computer Wholesale and Gentek.

Founded in 1985, Rupp Technology Corporation is based in Phoenix and
maintains sales and marketing offices in Los Angeles and New York. A
pioneer in a variety of file management technologies, Rupp was the first
to offer both serial and parallel cable transfer in a software utility.
