Arcadia, CA...The FileRunner program solves a critical problem faced by
anyone who uses more than one PC, and needs to transfer data from one PC
to others. The problem is -- how to safely get the latest version of each
of your important files onto all of the PCs you use. Designed to automate
and safeguard file transfer, the FileRunner program is very easy to use
and does not require any cables, modems or network hardware. It simply
uses a floppy disk and proprietary Overwrite Safeguard algorithms to
transfer and maintain identical files on each of your PCs. It literally
synchronizes the files on all your PCs.

The FileRunner program creates an "invisible network" between all of your
desktop and notebook PCs through a unique combination of functions. It
combines data compression, virus checking and, for the first time
anywhere, Overwrite Safeguard. Overwrite Safeguard is the exclusive
ability to detect when a critical file has been altered on one or more
computers. It gives you a chance to keep both copies for later review. You
no longer need to worry about accidentally overwriting important
information during transfer. This important feature is found only in the
FileRunner program.

Virus scanning is an automatic option. If a virus is present, the
FileRunner program will not copy the infected program, but instead will
notify you of the problem. MBS Technologies, Inc. has licensed Virex for
the PC from MicroCom Systems, Inc. for the ultimate in virus protection. A
built-in data compression option allows you to efficiently pack large
amounts of data on standard 5 1/4" or 3 1/2" diskettes and to transfer the
most recent information to other PCs.

The FileRunner program also compensates for changes in time zones.
Additionally, it calculates time loss, and prompts you to adjust the
internal clocks on your computers to keep them synchronized and accurate.
The program recognizes, and automatically adjusts for, daylight savings
time as well.

EASE OF USE

The FileRunner program is so easy to use on a daily basis that, after the
initial set up, all you must hit are two keys on the computer...F10 and Y.
There is no need to get involved with complicated DOS commands, hard to
use data compression programs, or obscure path and directory locations.
The FileRunner program tracks all of this information and automatically
knows how and where to find your files. Context-sensitive hypertext help
screens are available throughout the program by pressing the Fl key.
On-screen help is also displayed on most screens.

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS

If you transfer data between PCs, the FileRunner program gives you the
security of knowing that you will always have the latest information on a
lightweight diskette that goes with you, and that the transfer will be
safe and efficient. You do not need to use inconvenient unwieldy cables,
and the computers do not have to be in close proximity. It can be used by
anyone who works with one computer at the office and another at home. It
can be used by a person who travels with a notebook and needs to update
his desktop at his office when he returns. It can be used by a consultant
or salesman who has to work in geographically separated locations. Offices
with multiple PCs can use the program in lieu of expensive networks. If a
network already exists, the FileRunner program provides a convenient means
of transferring files between networked PCs and any stand-alone desktop or
portable PCs that you might have as well. The FileRunner program transfers
are so easy to perform that no special skills are needed. And since
diskettes are the transfer medium, the FileRunner program automatically
provides a "bonus" backup of your critical files.
