Intelliquis International Year 2000 Technology to be Featured on a CBS Evening News with Dan Rather Segment SALT LAKE CITY, Sep 23, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Intelliquis International Inc. (OTC BB: INTQ), a premier provider of personal computer and Internet software, today announced its year 2000 technology, through original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Millennium 2K Solutions, will be featured on a CBS Evening News with Dan Rather segment airing Friday, Sept. 24, 1999, at 6 p.m. Mountain time. The segment will focus on the computer industry's failure to respond adequately to potential Y2K conflicts in computer hardware when it had the chance. The program will feature Millennium 2K Solutions' president, James Toner, discussing his analysis of the situation and the need to address the real-time clock issue in Y2K testing and repair efforts. Mark Tippets, Intelliquis' vice president of sales, said the segment gives the company an opportunity to showcase its technology. "This news feature will validate the point Intelliquis has been making since it introduced its Y2K test and repair technology -- testing and repairing a computer's real-time clock is essential in bringing a computer into full Y2K-compliance," Tippets said. "Intelliquis' stance has been that the CMOS real-time clock is as important as the BIOS clock in accessing and processing dates in applications and program files, mainly because many programs bypass the BIOS and go directly to the real-time clock for dates. Intelliquis' Y2K solution gives users the ability to test and repair their CMOS clocks as well as their BIOS clocks, software and operating systems." The company's ISA-card solution, sold by Millennium 2K Solutions as the M2000 Module, provides computer users with a permanent, virus-resistant solution to the year 2000 problem. The card automatically repairs a computer's real-time clock and BIOS from its two-digit date format to a Y2K-compliant, four-digit date. The M2000 Module resolves potential Y2K conflicts on all critical levels of a PC's hardware by automatically redirecting a computer's hardware from its faulty two-digit year real-time clock to a corrected, Y2K-compliant four-digit year real-time clock. Intelliquis' IntelliFIX 2000 test and repair software includes a self-booting utility for diagnosing and repairing all levels of impact in PC hardware, including BIOS and CMOS real-time clock. IntelliFIX 2000 also includes software for testing and repairing a PC's operating system, which includes DOS and Windows 3.1/95/98/NT, and also scans and repairs application conflicts. The data scan feature included in IntelliFIX 2000 scans spreadsheet and database files for potential two-digit date problems and repairs them by automatically converting them to a Y2K-compliant four-digit date. The program scans and repairs most files in dBase, FoxPro, C, C++, Pascal Delphi, Lotus 1-2-3, Clipper, Microsoft Access, Excel, Word, and other programs. Intelliquis' Y2K technology recently received a Level 5 rating in Solace Consultancy's Millennium Test report -- the highest possible rating in the report and the only product tested that received the Level 5 designation.
