TRACK DATA ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF myTrack SDK NEW YORK--November 12, 1999--Track Data Corporation (Nasdaq NMS: TRAC) announced today that it will pre-release its myTrack software developers kit (SDK) today to a group of experienced programmers who have registered for the software. The SDK will be released to the general public next week. The myTrack SDK allows clients to develop their own applications using the same robust feed and pallet of features that are currently found in the myTrack product. This includes prices from all North American and most European Exchanges, news from over a dozen sources, historical data, market statistics, and much more. The SDK is a Microsoft Visual C library that will make it easy to integrate into a broad range of applications, from simple spreadsheets to sophisticated market data applications across a wide range of platforms. Web site developers will be able to use the myTrack SDK to provide real-time market data and news to their web pages. Barry Hertz, Chairman and CEO, stated, "Since our announcement of the SDK a couple of weeks ago, about 200 developers have applied. We are pleased with the response and the fact that SDK is ready for release two weeks earlier than promised. We look forward to sharing in the new innovative products to be developed in the future." The myTrack SDK is available for a monthly data fee of $25 (the first month is free) and the user will pay any applicable exchange fees. Technical support will be provided by PACT Consulting.
