Traveling Software Ships LapLink for Windows

New Version Integrates Remote Control and File Transfer

BOTHELL, Wash., Sept. 6, 1994 -- Traveling Software Inc., today announced
LapLink for Windows with integrated remote control and SpeedSync for the
fastest modem file transfer available.

"With over 80% of remote control software users performing file transfer,
we saw a tremendous opportunity to combine world-class remote control with
the best file transfer," said Mark Eppley, chairman and CEO of Traveling
Software. "Traveling Software stays at the cutting edge of communications
software solutions for portable computer users, telecommuters and
technical support professionals with its new LapLink for Windows. "

Windows Interface

The graphical interface in LapLink for Windows provides a flexible working
environment allowing users to customize file transfer, remote control and
chat windows to meet their needs. For the first time, users will be able
to scale a remote control image to fit any size window, and/or view
multiple machines simultaneously. Convenient toolbars also provide
push-button access to commonly used functions.

Remote Control

LapLink for Windows' remote control capabilities enable users to run a
database, e-mail and other applications on a distant PC which is running
either DOS or Windows. The initiator (guest) controls a remote computer
(host) and runs its applications as though the user were sitting at the
host site, using the host keyboard and mouse. This gives the remote user
total access to their desktop applications, even while away from the
office.

LapLink for Windows lets users run remote machines at higher resolutions
than their own. In contrast to other remote control programs, LapLink for
Windows utilizes a universal video driver to minimize setup difficulties.
And, LapLink for Windows supports high-end video types up to
1280x1024x16.7 million colors.

LapLink for Windows has superior remote control graphics performance,
making screen re-drawing faster. LapLink for Windows stores display
elements for reuse, improving performance over the duration of a remote
control session.

LapLink for Windows provides comprehensive security, including the ability
to reboot the host computer when a remote control session is terminated.
This is helpful for users who are accessing data such as email that is
password protected, because it prevents the next caller from using the
prior logon. LapLink for Windows also provides screen blanking and host
keyboard/mouse disabling to prevent unauthorized observation or input
during a remote control session. New callback security limits user access
to pre-defined locations.

SpeedSync

SpeedSync is a patent-pending technology for modem file transfers that can
increase LapLink file transfer speeds by up to 800%. Instead of
transferring the entire file, SpeedSync recognizes what changes have
occurred in the file and then transfers only the changes. For example, a
salesperson who is on the road can send or retrieve database updates
without transferring the entire database over the phone lines. This cuts
down on the user's time and long-distance phone charges.

This new technology is built on the third generation of Traveling
Software's Universal Communications Object (UCO) technology, providing
modem file transfer speeds that are superior to any competitive remote
control product.

Connectivity

LapLink for Windows meets both local and remote connectivity needs. LapLink
for Windows supports serial and parallel cables for in-office connections
and AirShare wireless radio modules for synchronizing a laptop and desktop
computer. For remote connectivity, LapLink for Windows supports modems and
peer-to-peer Novell network IPX connections. In addition, a support
technician can make simultaneous connections for remote diagnostics and
support of machines in different locations.

File Transfer

With LapLink for Windows, users have the ability to transfer files from one
PC to another even during a remote control session. For example, a
technical support person who has established remote control connections
with several users can use LapLink's drag-and-drop feature to transfer
files simultaneously between the different machines, regardless of the
type of connection they have established.

LapLink for Windows includes a DriveBar for accessing commonly used file
transfer features such as copying, deleting and moving. The buttons also
provide a quick and easy way to sort files by name, file extension, date
or size.

LapLink for Windows includes a serial and parallel cable, software and
documentation. The product is available now through resellers nationwide
at a suggested retail price of $199.95. Registered users of a previous
version of LapLink, CommWorks or other Traveling Software product can
