Citadel and Iomega to Premier C:/More! Personal File and Media Management Software at Comdex Fall '97
BusinessWire, Tuesday, November 04, 1997 at 13:18
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 1997--
1,000 Copies to be Given Away in Sweepstakes Via Website,
Booth Sign-Up
To demonstrate just how easily computer "stuff" can be saved,
retrieved and updated -- no matter where it is stored -- Citadel
Technology's (OTCBB:NOFF) new C:/More! intelligent media management
software will be demonstrated in conjunction with Zip(TM) and Jaz(R)
drives at Iomega Corporation's (NYSE:IOM) booth at Comdex Fall '97
in Las Vegas Nov. 17-21. In addition, Citadel will give away 1,000
copies of C:/More! through drawings immediately following Comdex.
In August, C:/More! was designated an IomegaReady Software
partner by Iomega, the world's leading provider of personal computer
storage systems. C:/More! enables computer users to quickly and
easily keep track of all their computer files -- whether online or
off-line on Zip(TM), Jaz(R), hard disks or floppies -- and without
having to waste valuable time sifting through multiple directories.
To be eligible for a free copy of C:/More!, entrants can register
either with Citadel at the Iomega booth (No. L1614) or via Citadel's
website (www.citadel.com) beginning today, Nov. 4. Winning entrants
for the $79 (SRP) software package will be selected by Citadel
Nov. 22 and need not be present at Comdex to win.
"C:/More! leverages the Zip and Jaz user's ability to conserve
hard drive space while also making management of their ever-growing
Iomega media easier ... and that is what the IomegaReady Software
program is all about. We think Comdex visitors will be very
interested in what Citadel and Iomega have done for them in the area
of media management," said Steven B. Solomon, Citadel's president
and chief executive officer.
"Iomega always has one of the most frequently visited and
re-visited exhibits at Comdex. As the newest IomegaReady partner, we
are confident that this year's Comdex visitors will love the way
C:/More! helps them manage their Zip disks and Jaz cartridges, as
well as any floppies they may still have," said Solomon. He added
that "It is Citadel's mission to emulate Iomega in becoming the
standard for making information storage, retrieval and updating easy
for both consumers and corporate America."
C:/More! uses advanced summarization technology to catalog files
into logical, familiar locations, and to create intelligent summaries
and assign key words based on relevant phrases contained within the
document. Using powerful natural language processing capabilities,
C:/More! extracts just the right amount of information to help the
user save time reading documents and navigating huge collections of
stored files. Each user designs his/her own cataloging system or
selects from several pre-designed templates. File changes are made
automatically and file moves are made through a simple drag-and-drop
process.

from Citadel Computer Systems, Inc. on June 1, develops and markets
computer software products to secure, manage and automate desktop and
