StrandWare Introduces Newest Version of BackTrack Tracking Software

BackTrack 1.02 facilitates inventory control

EAU CLAIRE, Wisconsin--(May 15, 1995)--Michael Strand, founder and
president of StrandWare, Inc., is pleased to announce the release of
BackTrack 1.02, the newest version of the software program designed to
track and manage various types of often-handled items such as documents,
files, office supplies, video tapes, compact discs, tools and other easily
misplaced items.

BackTrack 1.02, from StrandWare, Inc., combines a powerful What You See Is
What You Get (WYSIWYG) bar-code label design, print utility with a
flexible database to facilitate document tracking, and inventory tracking.
BackTrack is especially designed for small business and commercial users.
It is a fully-integrated, affordable software package and offers a total
solution for item/document management.

BackTrack 1.02 allows users to create two different types of applications:
item tracking and inventory tracking. The item checking application has
"check-in/check-out" and reservation capabilities. Moreover, the inventory
application replaces "in/out" capabilities with inventory "restock/take
out" functions. Tracking applications developed by users of BackTrack 1.01
can easily be converted into inventory applications if desired.

"The addition of BackTrack's new inventory capability allows users to
maintain an inventory of simple items such as office supplies and other
easily misplaced items and is intended as a complementary capability to
the principle function of BackTrack which is item tracking and control,"
says Strand. "It is not intended to replace full-featured programs
required for large inventories such as those of warehouses."

BackTrack 1.02 combines a barcode label-design and print utility with a
flexible database to facilitate item tracking. It was developed for small
to medium-sized businesses such as accounting firms, medical and dental
offices, law firms, etc. These businesses all have similar needs for
control and efficiency but are typically growing businesses equipped with
PC's, small budgets, and limited computer expertise.

Features

BackTrack 1.02 is designed for plug-and-play use, requiring minimal
computer expertise. The software supports a wide variety of dot-matrix,
laser, and direct thermal printers, and enables users to create numerous
bar-code symbologies. The Windows version supports all Windows drivers.

With BackTrack, users have the ability to:
* Print a variety of standard reports.
* Enter data by scanning or by key entry.
* Print the same barcode(s) on several different forms or labels
  where the balance of information varies label to label.
* Establish standard or individual "loan" periods for each item,
  reserve items for future use, and sort by date to spot overdue
  items.
* Design and print all popular bar-code symbologies.

BackTrack 1.02 also features various levels of user-selected security
options. It may also be used in attended central records applications or
with open, multiuser controlled access. Items may be logged-in and
logged-out via keyboard entry of item identifiers or by scanning. Items
already checked out may be reserved for future use. The software also
provides a complete item-by-item audit trail of use activity.

System Requirements

BackTrack 1.02 requires an IBM or compatible personal computer with a 80386
processor or better (80386 processor is minimum, 80486 is recommended),
Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or higher, one 3.5 inch floppy disk drive,
8-10 MB of available hard disk space, PC-DOS/MS-DOS 3.0 and up, 8 MB of
RAM, and a Windows compatible monitor and graphic card. The menu-driven
package is flexible enough to be user-configured and customized to
specific applications. There is no limit on application types or total
file records. Other databases may be imported to help build the file.
