AdeptXBBS Ships 1.0x with Major AdeptREXX Upgrade

Boca Raton, FL., August 15, 1995: AdeptSoft of Boca Raton, FL. today
announced that AdeptXBBS is being shipped as a commercial product and now
includes AdeptREXX as a part of the $99.00 base package.

AdeptXBBS is an award winning OS/2, 32-bit, Internet friendly,
multi-threaded, multi-user, multilingual, Presentation Manager BBS
(bulletin board software) with a user interface that is totally
customizable.

"This commercial release of AdeptXBBS gives the Sysop control over their
BBS in ways that have never imagined-- all without being an experienced
"C"/C++ programmer or learning a new BBS specific language to customize
our BBS software. If you can write the standard batch file needed to run
most BBSs, you can completely reprogram the look and feel of your
AdeptXBBS system," says Steven Tower, President of AdeptSoft.

"We've added over 70 new AdeptREXX programming functions, including the
ability to 'ask' the system for an available node, take it down, and use
it to dialout or link two modems. We've also added over 50 new AdeptREXX
functions for controlling the filebase," adds John Morris, AdeptSoft
Senior VP, Software Engineering.

AdeptXBBS's addition of the AdeptREXX programming language brings a proven
programming language standard to BBS sysops: REXX is the default
BATCH/PROGRAMMING language for IBM's DOS v7.0, OS/2, AIX, and IBM
Mainframes. AdeptREXX enhances the base REXX language with over 150
BBS-specific functions, giving the Sysop almost 300 available REXX
functions. Additionally there are thousands of pre-existing REXX
programming modules available to the Sysop including complete database
subsystems, control over OS2's workplace shell and program management
facilities.

AdeptXBBS includes support for visual REXX environments like VisProREXX and
VXREXX. With VX-REXX, you can write multiple REXX programs to be called by
individual nodes for creating such things as on-line games and utilities.

AdeptXBBS allows multi-threading of REXX programs, giving the Sysop the
ability to start multiple, simultaneous REXX programs from within the same
program... even passing data cleanly from one thread to another.

"AdeptXBBS won the 'Best OS/2 Product' at Cyber.Xpo.95 earlier this summer
while it was still a beta product. This upgrade of AdeptREXX shows that
after 2 1/2 years of development and a 7 month public shareware beta,
AdeptXBBS is ready for prime time," added John Lawlor, CEO AdeptSoft.
