SECANT TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF OS/2 CONTROL PACKAGE

CLEVELAND, OH -- Secant Technologies, Inc. announces the release of the
ObjectPM Control Pack library for OS/2.  This package offers over a dozen
control types that extend the set of controls supplied by OS/2
Presentation Manager.  It is also the first control package to support the
PMCX control window specification allowing these controls to be used with
products such as the IBM Universal Resource Editor and Prominare Designer.
The PMCX specification is the latest control extension similar in concept
to the VBX specification in Windows.

"These controls will be a welcome addition to any OS/2 programmer's tool
set" according to senior architect Michael Flis. "Many badly needed
features such as multi-column list-boxes and edit masks are missing from
OS/2.  This product fills those gaps."

This list of controls included with the package include:

     - Spreadsheet  A "grid" control allowing data to be presented
                    in rows and columns.  The rows and columns can
                    be sized hidden, inserted and deleted.  Cells
                    can directly edited, and support character
                    formatting.

     - Cellbox      A new list-box that adds multi-columns, images,
                    "hot buttons", and in-line character formatting.

     - Data Field   An edit control extension that supports edit
                    masks, and a host of data types.

     - RTF Viewer   Displays and prints Rich-Text-Format (RTF)
                    documents. This is a great tool to add prining
                    capabilities to your apps!

     - Calendars    Displays a calendar, one month at a time,
                    allowing a user to click on a day to select it
                    or flip between months and years.

     - DateComboBox Combines a combo-box with the calendar control
                    which implements a visual drop-down date field.

     - CellComboBox Combines a combo-box with the cellbox to add
                    extended combo features such as multi-selects
                    and list-box columns.

     - Splitbars    Horizontal and vertical split bar controls for
                    dragging.

     - ControlList  Contains a list of other controls that can be
                    scrolled up and down.  This allows a large
                    number of controls to fit in an area than
                    otherwise would be possible.

     - Gauges       A set of various indicators such as dials,
                    thermometers, and LED bars.

All controls in ObjectPM Control Pack conform to the PMCX architecture. 
This allows the components to be used by virtually any OS/2 programming
tool.  To support the various C++ programming environments, the Control
Pack adds a set of class libraries that integrate the controls natively
into the OpenClass (IBM), ObjectWindows (Borland), and ObjectPM (Secant) 
application framework environments.

The ObjectPM Control Pack is available in binary form at an introductory
price of $99.  Source code is also available.  Programs that use the
controls can be distributed along with the run-time libraries without
royalties or additional purchases.  To order, contact Secant Technologies,
23811 Chagrin Blvd. Suite 344, Beachwood, OH, (216) 595-3830. Additional
