Big Tex: Couple weeks ago said SGNC on move. No reason found until today. Has tripled since then and could be one of biggest baggers of all time even at this leve. No guarantees. I still own a little SGNC from way back. I really am staying away from pennies but here is news. Prospecter, please don't go into senseless jabber mode flooding the thread with nonsense and I may even bookmark it again. Sanguine Corp. Releases Letter to Shareholders Business Editors PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 1999--The following was issued to shareholders by Sanguine Corp. (OTC BB: SGNC): Dec. 14, 1999 Dear Shareholder, Recently, the company has been in negotiations to fund the continuation of the clinical trials for animal safety and efficacy for PHER-O2, a synthetic red blood cell. We expect to have good news in this regard in the near future. Upon funding, the clinical trials will be conducted by Battelle, the largest independent research group, for submission to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval. One of the most interesting features of Sanguine is that we anticipate rapid FDA approval, since PHER-O2 is a second-generation drug. Also we do not believe we will have to build a factory as there is ample emulsification manufacturing capacity in the drug industry. The present emulsified products are very low profit items, i.e. parenteral nutritional, and we can easily replace them with PHER-O2, which is high profit to the manufacturer and Sanguine. Sterile intravenous capacity is also readily available for filling plastic blood bags. Battelle will proceed with our animal trials and M.D.S. Harris will conduct human clinical trials. Both have committed to complete these second-generation trials in a total of 3 years versus the usual average of 10 to 20 years, because our synthetic red blood cells are a second-generation drug. Sincerely, Thomas C.

Another Linux Provider Partners with Computone: SuSE Joins with Red Hat in Including Computone Drivers ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 1999--Computone Corporation (OTC BB: CMPT) today reported that another provider of the popular Linux operating system -- SuSE, Inc. -- has included drivers for Computone's IntelliPort II family of high-speed serial communications products with its latest release. Perry Pickerign, president and CEO of Computone, said the drivers for the IntelliPort line are included in the new SuSE Linux 6.3 just released. Last week Computone reported that the new release of Red Hat® (NASDAQ: RHAT - news) Linux also includes drivers for its IntelliPort II product line (see ''New Release of Red Hat Linux 6.1 Includes Computone Drivers,'' Business Wire, December 9). SuSE (www.suse.com) has been a commercial Linux developer and distributor since 1992, and is one of the oldest international Linux companies. It has offices in Oakland, California, as well as in Germany, the U.K., and the Czech Republic and in the U.S. The new release of SuSE Linux 6.3 offers users a wealth of new software, including 230 new programs and demos, 180 updated packages, and the Computone drivers. ''Computone is delighted that our drivers are included in the new SuSE 6.3,'' Pickerign said, ''and to continually be a partner to the leaders of the Linux industry. Like SuSE, Computone is a long-time strategic ally and partner to Linux and Open Source solution vendors.'' Computone's Pickerign said inclusion of the drivers lets users of SuSE (and Red Hat) install hardware, connect to the Internet, and control devices using IntelliPort products immediately. ''Drivers included in the Linux kernel are extremely reliable, and are updated with the operating system to provide complete compatibility with Computone products,'' he said. ''Computone is known for 'being Linux before Linux was cool','' he said. ''We value our relationships in the Linux community and our role in the Open Source solution.'' Pickerign said along with being included in the new releases of SuSE and Red Hat, Computone is ''very active'' in the Linux community. He said the company recently-concluded a 13-city Open Linux tour in the U.S. and Canada as part of its alliance with Caldera®, and, at COMDEX last month in Las Vegas, had introduced additional support for Linux with new software device drivers for IntelliPort II products incorporated into the Linux kernel source code base. ''Being part of the Linux community and being chosen as a partner and ally of industry leaders like SuSE, Red Hat and Caldera recognizes our long-standing role and commitment to promoting Open Source solutions now and into the future,'' Pickerign said.
