Sausalito, California--WEBCORP announces the availability of WEB 3.0,
establishing a new standard for Novell connectivity in the DOS
peer-to-peer market.

WEBCORP drew on its success and experience with the 2.x series in this
entirely redesigned version of WEB. In addition to supporting the NetWare
Protocol stack, WEB 3.0 includes significant architectural and performance
enhancements, memory and printing optimizations, expanded security, and
new management tools.

Walter Good, President of WEBCORP states:

"WEBCORP has focused its engineering efforts to develop a new peer-to-peer
operating system which provides unequalled performance and seamless
connectivity to NetWare server environments. We drew upon extensive
customer feedback in designing the new features in Version 3.0. This
feedback made it clear that a significant percentage of users who are
presently using Novell's client-server architecture are looking for the
flexibility that peer-to-peer services can provide in their workgroup
environments."

New Operating System Architecture 

WEB 3.0 implements a completely new modular design offering extremely low
memory overhead, ease of installation, and powerful new tools for system
optimization. WEB 3.0 consists of six loadable modules which can be
installed separately based upon the unique requirements of each network
station. Each module can be loaded into Upper Memory Blocks for zero
memory usage in the 64OK memory area.

Performance Enhancements 

A new proprietary burst mode technology is included that supports extremely
high-speed data transfer rates between stations. Coupled with Dynamic Data
Compression, the new burst mode delivers the highest network throughput
currently available in the industry.

Printing Optimizations 

WEB 3.0 offers a redesigned printing architecture providing enhanced
printing speeds, optimized printing in Windows, fault tolerant print
servers, and special support for postscript printers. WEB 3.0 also
provides support for NorthNet's JETstream! printer accelerator board.

Full Support for Novell Protocol Stack 

WEB replaces the NetWare client software on workstations, giving the
stations the simultaneous status of a NetWare client and a WEB peer. This
permits existing NetWare installations to integrate true peer-to-peer
resource sharing while maintaining full access to Novell servers.

WEBCORP's support for NetWare includes:

. Emulation of the complete suite of Novell protocols including IPX, SPX,
SAP, RIP, and NCP.

. Full support for IPX/SPX. The IPX from Novell and WEB can be used
interchangeably.

. Emulation of NetWare's Core Protocol (NCP). This enables the seamless
sharing of files with any number of NetWare servers (V 2.15 to 3.11)
without the need to designate a machine for bridging functions as required
by all other solutions.

Mike Martel, Manager of Network Services for a major insurance company and
Novell user site says:

"There has been a significant need for peer-to-peer network services in
companies that presently use a server-based solution like Novell. The
problem is that to effectively integrate these peer-to-peer services, they
must have a reliable and seamless interface to the corporate server
resources. Up until the announcement of WEB 3.0, no peer-to-peer network
architecture could offer this type of integration."

Mr. Martell further states:

"A major area of use for this new technology is the networking of field
offices which are not directly covered by our MIS umbrella of services.
These can now be networked with a low maintenance peer-to-peer network and
still be directly tied into the corporate NetWare Server architecture."

Enhanced Security and Management Tools 

WEB 3.0 provides an enhanced security system which includes a network
password to prevent unauthorized users from loading WEB and connecting to
the network. New management utilities include network-wide remote
diagnostics and system information. In addition, an advanced error logging
system tracks all errors network-wide and maintains an on-line error log.

On-line Redirection of Drives and Devices 

WEB 3.0 permits users of the Station Manager (WEB's graphical user
interface) to dynamically redirect or map system drives and devices
without the need for DOS commands.
