Toronto, Canada, July 29, 1995 - TechMate Communications Inc. today
announced the release of the new version of WinBBS v2.04.

WinBBS is designed for small and medium-sized businesses who are looking
for an easy way to put their businesses online. WinBBS is easy for
employees and customers to use and easy for businesses to operate. It is
also well-suited for departments of large companies who cannot get timely
internal systems resources to provide online solutions to their
communications and marketing needs.

Steve Martyn, a TechMate partner, said, "WinBBS is an ideal tool for
businesses to communicate with customers, franchisees, distributors,
wholesalers, suppliers and employees. Novice users can use WinBBS. If they
can use Windows(tm) at all, they can use WinBBS. It's as simple as that."

"It's flexible and can be customized through add-on modules or custom
development to meet whatever needs arise. It's "plug and play" design
allows it to be changed quickly to help businesses keep their edge in a
fast-moving marketplace."

"WinBBS is used to increase customer bases and retention, make internal and
external communication more efficient and reduce marketing, customer
service and administration costs. Our customers keep coming up with new
ways to use it."

WinBBS is Microsoft Windows(tm)-based client/server software for
communicating online. It comes with E-mail and an intuitive Document
Database which lets users quickly find, update and share documents and
graphics.

TechMate offers a "lite" version of WinBBS for FREE! WinBBS Lite can be
downloaded for free and is all many businesses will ever need. It has all
the features of WinBBS except add-on applications cannot be used with it.

WinBBS also provides developers with a simple and easy-to-use client/server
platform to develop online Windows database applications with any Windows
development tool (VB, Delphi, etc.). With WinBBS, developers can
concentrate on business functions and not worry about the online
client/server infrastructure. And they can use WinBBS to access any ODBC
compliant databases like Access, Paradox, dBASE, MS FoxPro, MS SQL, etc.

Developers can download a fully functional WinBBS Evaluation Server and
Developer's Kit to try before they buy.

WinBBS Lite or a WinBBS Evaluation Server and Developer's Kit can be
downloaded from TechMate Online or TechMate's Home Page. Demos of some of
the ways businesses are using WinBBS can be seen on TechMate Online.

Upon approved application, WinBBS itself is available for free to
non-commercial organizations.
