EF Wednesday July 1, 7:02 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Nervous to Install Windows 98? UpgradeAID 98 Provides Anxiety-Free Solution for Transition From Windows 95 to Windows 98 CULVER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July, 1, 1998--Syncronys Softcorp (OTC:SYCR - news), a leading developer of utility software and the exclusive publisher of SmartFiles System Technology (SFS), Wednesday announced the release of UpgradeAID 98, a PC utility specifically designed to eliminate the anxiety of upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 98. UpgradeAID 98 is now available for download at syncronys.com and select retail stores and carries an estimated street price of $19.95. ''This release brings the power of our SFS SmartFiles System technology to a wider audience,'' said Daniel Taylor, chairman of Syncronys. ''This further establishes Syncronys' strong technology base and is a preview of more things to come.'' UpgradeAID 98 optimizes productivity by enabling Windows 95 users to easily switch from Windows 95 and Windows 98 at the push of a button. In addition, users can continue to use all of their applications and access files on both operating systems without reinstalling. As users become more confident with Windows 98, they can delete Windows 95 through simple key commands. This affordable, easy-to-use utility made its successful debut on CNET's Premiere page and can now be purchased at Syncronys' online store (http://www.syncronys.com) and at more than 300 popular download sites through a distribution agreement with Digital River (http://www.digitalriver.com), one of the world's largest electronic software distributors. ''UpgradeAID 98 is the first utility product to bring the benefits of multibooting technology into the mainstream,'' said Brandi Flores, Syncronys' product manager. ''For the first time, even novice users can easily configure their PCs to run different versions of Windows (95 and 98), without the steep learning curve and thick manuals common in competing products.'' UpgradeAID 98 requires a PC with Windows 95 installed, 8MB of RAM, a Microsoft Windows 98 Upgrade CD, 2MB of disk space for UpgradeAID 98 and approximately 200MB for Windows 98. Depending on a user's system, configurations may vary.
