Returning with more info. of this company / Also reposted #6 above.

You see, the problem is still lack of news commonly available. The news I listed below were found mostly in Bloomberg:

o First quarter of 1996 was its strongest since 1992
o 70% increased in its installed base
o First quarter sales, 2.068 million = 395% incr of last yr same Q
o The 1st company offered enterprise security solution to NT
o Nearly 1/2 of the units sold in 1st Q were on Windows NT platform
o Agreement with Compaq to distribute its firewall with any server
o Increase to 15 industry partnerships worldwide
o Provide cost effective security solutions to not only Internet, but also to enterprise workgroup, inteanet, mobile station & remote sites.
o Special Report of Upside Magazine 4-96 recognized Raptor's leadership in security market and rated a winning vendor amongst others
o Nominated Reader's Trust award by InfoSecurity News.
o Amex had added 8 new stocks including Raptor to the Net Index and Interactive Week Internet Index.

More info may be obtained by visiting www.reptor.com.

Volume had improved some last Friday (226,800)with however not much price variation (closed 28.5). Note that many of what I've listed above were included in Bloomberg newswire after the market closed last Friday (13:36). I do believe that the above news, especially the last one (company being indexed), were significant news and may help the company to get a little bit more "big guy" attention it deserved. I do believe that this stock has great potential in the mid run, and is not for everyone. Those who have patient may get the best out of it. I have invested into the stock since last time I wrote and brough more after the price edged a bit more downwards. Only time could tell these were sound judgements or not.

#6 of the reply to you had linking problem and could not be access the usual way. I have read this message and am glad that someone is agreeing with me. I have extract the message for you and those who are interested in the stock:

I'm an investor in RAPT and have been following company for a while. It's not for the
faint of heart with wild price swings reflecting the edginess of this sector and recent
IPO's in general. They've reported a great first quarter and seem to be positioning
themselves strategically with smart alliances. I'm betting firewalls is where attention will
be focused as companies new to the Net continue to get edgy about security.
