Chili Pepper Software Announces Infinite Disk Home and Infinite Disk
Advanced versions 3.0

March 31, 1995, Atlanta, Georgia -- Chili Pepper Software today announced
the release of a major upgrade to Personal Archiver and Infinite Disk
versions 2.1. The new versions, Infinite Disk Home v3.0 (formerly Personal
Archiver) and Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 (formerly Infinite Disk) are
designed to meet the diversified needs of today's computer users. The new
3.0 versions add a number of new features and enhancements including: a
new tabbed user interface, SpaceWizard, 32 bit files access compatibility,
better compression, 12K TSR, and more.

"By renaming our products and restructuring their feature sets, we are able
to clearly address the needs of every type of user, novices and experts
alike," said Richard M. Onyon, president and CEO of Chili Pepper Software.
"Whether you require an easy to use "point & click" interface or command a
higher level of automation and technology, there is an Infinite Disk
solution for you."

Infinite Disk Home v3.0

Infinite Disk Home v3.0 (formerly Personal Archiver) is a manual storage
solution designed to meet the needs of the novice/home user. Infinite Disk
Home v3.0 provides a less complicated storage solution for users not
requiring all the features of our more elevated products. Infinite Disk
Home v3.0 allows users to sort files by size, type, or most important AGE.
Just "point & shoot" and seldom or unused files are archived to a
diskette. All archived files appear to be on your hard drive, only now
they're 0 bytes in size. To recall a file simply use * and Infinite Disk
Home v3.0 will prompt you to insert the correct diskette volume and the
recall is complete in just seconds. New features of Infinite Disk Home
v3.0 include:

32 Bit File Access Compatibility - A feature of Windows for Workgroups
v3.11 which enhances the performance of the Windows operating system.

Blazing Performance - Infinite Disk Home v3.0 uses entirely new technology
for tracking file access. This means absolutely no slowdown on your
machine, no matter which disk caching product you use.

12K TSR - Now we use just a tiny portion of your precious memory. This is a
63% reduction from the 32K TSR required in Personal Archiver v2.1.

Total Compatibility - Infinite Disk Home v3.0 has no known
incompatibilities with any commercial software -- including PCTools
Diskfix. Even anti-virus software and disk backup utilities are handled
automatically (no need to suspend the TSR before backing up anymore).

Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0

Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 (formerly Infinite Disk v2.1) is a totally
automated storage management software designed to meet the needs of more
advanced users requiring a more robust feature set. In addition to
providing all the new features and enhancements of Infinite Disk Home
v3.0, Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 automatically compresses and/or archives
your seldom used files based on your configuration. For example, if you
haven't used a file in a specified number of days, it can be compressed in
place on your hard drive. If that file has not been used in an additional
specified number of days, * will be archived off line to another type of
storage device such as optical or removable cartridges, removable hard
drives, network server drives, etc. Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0
automatically decompresses and/or retrieves the files as they are needed.
New Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 features include:

New Tabbed User Interface - If you've seen any upcoming previews of Windows
'95, you've seen just how powerful tabbed user interfaces can be. In
version 3.0, all the features of Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 are laid out
at your fingertips. No more switching from one screen to another. It's all
combined into one powerful yet simple to use tabbed interface.

SpaceWizard - The all new "SpaceWizard" makes it easier than ever to
identify which files should be migrated by Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0.
Need more disk space in a hurry? Just answer a few simple questions and
let the Wizard do the work for you.

32 Bit File Access Compatibility - A feature of Windows for Workgroups
v3.11 which enhances the performance of the Windows operating system.

Better Compression - Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 applies STAC Electronics'
patented LZS compression technology which means faster and tighter
compression. Not just a little faster...but a LOT FASTER (recall times are
amazing!). Also, compression is now optional. So you don't have to
compress a file before Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 will archive it.

Total Compatibility - Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 has no known
incompatibilities with any commercial software -- including PCTools
Diskfix. Even anti-virus software and disk backup utilities are handled
automatically (no need to suspend the TSR before backing up anymore).

Blazing Performance - Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 uses entirely new
technology for tracking file accesses. This means absolutely no slowdown
on your machine, no matter which disk caching product you use. (Many
version 2.1 users experienced a slowdown when using SMARTDRV under
Windows.)

12K TSR - Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0 uses just a tiny portion of your
precious memory. This is a 63 percent reduction from the 32K TSR required
in version 2.11

Infinite Disk Professional

Previously announced, Infinite Disk Professional is the newest addition to
the Infinite Disk product family, reserved for users wanting total
flexibility in storage management and/or users that make use of tape
storage devices. In addition to containing all the features of Infinite
Disk Home v3.0 and Infinite Disk Advanced v3.0, Infinite Disk Professional
has these additional features:

Tape Support - Infinite Disk Professional supports a host of the most
popular tape devices including the Colorado Memory Systems "Jumbo" series.
Now you can archive all those inactive files to tape which is both very
fast and economical. With Infinite Disk Professional installed and a tape
in your tape drive, you may never need to mount another archive volume
again! In fact, your tape drive will become a virtual extension of your
hard drive. (By the way -- our tape archives use industry standard QIC-80,
QIC-3010, and QIC-3020 tape formats so your data can also be restored with
any standard backup or restore software!) Call Chili Pepper Software for a
list of supported tape devices.

Automated Hard Drive Backup - Infinite Disk Professional is the first and
only system which provides truly automated backup of your hard drive!
Imagine. You instruct Infinite Disk Professional to maintain two complete
copies (or any number you wish) of your data at all times -- and we do the
rest for you. No more hand written labels. No more confusion about full
volume, incremental, differential, etc. Infinite Disk Professional will
perform the proper backup type, onto the correct tape volumes, according
to a schedule that you specify. Simply insert the tape(s) when prompted.
(Old-fashioned backup functions are also available in Infinite Disk
Professional for the traditionalists out there!)

"Expert" AutoMigration - Infinite Disk Professional incorporates a special
Expert mode for "rule based" AutoMigration. For example, if you wanted all
your help files to archive to tape after three days -- make a rule. If you
want all your memos to archive to the network after thirty days -- make
another rule. If you never want your accounting files to migrate -- just
make a rule!! With Expert mode, you're in the drivers seat.
