And it seems that MUCP has finally come out of hiding with a new PR firm at the investor's relations helm.

MSU Corporation Develops Internet Browser for China and Taiwan
MILTON KEYNES, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 19, 1998--MSU Corporation (OTC
BB:MUCP) announced today that it has developed an Internet browser that can translate Chinese
for use with its SlipStream Internet access technology.
A prototype of the new technology, which is capable of translating both Old and New Chinese, has already been demonstrated in China, and MSU will be ready to market the technology within eight weeks.
SlipStream, which provides users with Internet access via a television and a regular telephone line, already has the capability -- using MSU's browser -- to translate the Internet information of several other foreign languages, including Spanish, French and German, but until now, it could not interpret Chinese and other ''character'' languages. In addition to opening the Chinese market to the company, this development will make it much easier for MSU to develop browser capabilities for other countries that write with double-byte characters, such as Japan.
MSU's browser will work with most service providers, can be converted to other platforms, is fully compliant with HTML 3.2 and comes bundled with e-mail. The code for the entire package takes up
only half a egabyte -- the smallest browser package currently available, according to MSU's estimations.
Wynford P. Holloway, president, chairman and CEO of MSU Corporation, commented, ''We are truly excited about this development. We already have an established relationship with several businesses in China that are eager to use this new technology. With a population of more than one billion people, we believe the explosive marketing potential speaks for itself and that the number of possible applications for this product in a country of this geographical size is staggering. In addition, we will be aggressively pursuing licensing agreements for this innovative technology.''
MSU Corporation designs and develops computer chips and chip sets principally for use in consumer electronic products. Most of the company's chips are capable of multiple functions and eliminate the need for additional chips. Moreover, they diminish the risk of malfunction and error, permit more efficient circuit-board designs and are available at a low cost. In addition to computer chips, MSU develops consumer electronic products and reference platforms for itself and other companies. Its SlipStream Internet access technology enables anyone with a television and regular telephone line to access the Internet and send and receive e-mail. And when used with MSU's
customized, proprietary browser, SlipStream allows users in
Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, China and English and Spanish-speaking countries to access and interact with foreign web sites in their native language. The SlipStream technology is
also manufactured and marketed in a TV set-top box by MSU's manufacturing partner Mitac, Inc., a major Taiwanese manufacturing company. MSU also offer custom services in chip design, hardware and operating-system development, computer peripheral-design development and application-software development, consulting and sourcing.
