TechWorks Ships Spiral--"PowerBook Friendly" Note-Taking Software

AUSTIN, TX OCTOBER 19, 1992--TechWorks today announced that it is shipping
Spiral, an application for taking and organizing notes on a PowerBook
computer. Spiral is the first product of its kind designed to be
"PowerBook-friendly", conserving battery power and sporting features
tailored specifically to the needs of portable users. Spiral has a $129
retail price.

Spiral uses the metaphor of a notebook for its documents. Each notebook
consists of text pages that fit within the PowerBook screen. Users can
divide notebooks into sections and attach bookmarks to specific pages
within each section. Extensive text-find capabilities help users navigate
through the text in their notebooks. An abbreviation function lets users
create their own shorthand (i.e. Spiral can spell out "The United States
of America" when the user types "USA"). Users can print or save Spiral
notebooks, or export them to a word processor format.

Because Spiral is loaded into memory and is designed specifically not to
spin up the computer hard disk, it uses significantly less battery power
than word processors, a design element aimed specifically at PowerBook
users. Other PowerBook-focused features include an optional fat I-beam
cursor for easy viewing, a "Sleep" command within the program and
disk-based documentation and Help files.

"Spiral is the most intelligent PowerBook application so far," said Bob
LeVitus, MacUser contributing editor and author of Dr. Macintosh, Second
Edition.

TechWorks, supplier of Macintosh memory, accelerators, network hardware and
software, has a corporate commitment to 100% customer satisfaction. Placed
