O'REILLY'S WEBSITE ONLY WEB SERVER SHIPPING FOR WINDOWS 95

Server Software Lets Windows 95 Users Turn Their Desktops Into World Wide
Web Servers

August 2, 1995 -- SEBASTOPOL, CA--WebSite, from O'Reilly & Associates, is
the only World Wide Web server available now for the millions of Windows
users upgrading to Windows 95. WebSite allows Windows users to make their
information available to any of the Web's estimated eight million users.
The TCP/IP connectivity built into Windows 95 demonstrates the increasing
impact of the Internet on current and future businesses.

"WebSite has been running on Windows 95 for months," said Gina Blaber, the
WebSite product manager. "We've been shipping full-featured, Windows
95-ready software since May, and providing comprehensive tech support. Not
only is WebSite winning in the testing labs, it is winning in the Windows
95 marketplace. To put it bluntly, WebSite is real and successful now,
while other Web servers are still trying to get their first release to
market."

"I was able to install WebSite in minutes and turn my Windows 95 desktop
into a World Wide Web server," said Rob Wiese, network administrator at
the University of California, Davis, Medical Center. "WebSite brings a
powerful feature to Windows 95 users, including those who'll be on the
Microsoft Network. My system now has the ability to serve information up
on our internal system or, by connecting to the Internet, to make it
available to anyone with a Web browser."

"WebSite integrates smoothly and works great with Windows 95," said Chris
Duke, Systems Engineer at Science Applications International Corporation
(SAIC) and developer of WebBoard, a new conferencing system. "I was the
first Windows 95 beta tester for WebSite and it has worked great ever
since I received the first beta. I run the WebSite server on my office PC
(486/33) and the server is so robust and efficient that I never notice it
is getting the number of hits it receives. Its performance is fantastic,
the tools are very intuitive, and I would recommend it to anyone
interested in publishing information on the web."

WebSite offers several new Windows 95 user interface features--such as
tabbed dialogs and tree displays--and Visual Basic support. Current data
from spreadsheets and databases can be incorporated into Web documents
using WebSite's special Windows CGI (Common Gateway Interface) along with
Visual Basic, Delphi, or other Windows tools. WebSite's CGI can also
accomodate ODBC and OLE automation within Web documents on your server.

WebSite works just as well on a LAN as it does on the Internet, acting as a
powerful and easy-to-use workgroup server. A single Website installation
can serve multiple workgroups through multi-homing and remote
administration features. The Windows CGI support allows corporate users to
integrate desktop tools like Excel and Acess.

Web publishers can begin publishing with only SLIP or PPP account from
their Internet providers. WebSite's graphical display manager for
documents and links on the server allows an individual or administrator to
run a complex Web site. With the access control features of WebSite,
Webmasters can restrict access on all or part of their servers.

To set up a WebSite server, Windows 95 users need the following system
requirements: a 386 or higher; VGA video display adapter; 3.5" disk drive;
12 MB RAM (16 MB recommended); 5 MB free disk space; TCP/IP connectivity;
and, of course, Windows 95.

WebSite is created in cooperation with Bob Denny and Enterprise Integration
Technologies (EIT). Bob Denny created Win httpd, the 16-bit server for
Windows 3.1 which has been available on the Net and widely praised since
early 1994. EIT, long-time developer of software tools for Web server
administration, also founded TERISA Systems, the leader in Web security
technology, and the CommerceNet Consortium, driving deployment of Internet
electronic commerce.
