Extended Systems Ships Seamless Client/Server Solution For Xbase

BOISE, ID, August 12, 1993 -- Extended Systems announced today that the
Advantage Xbase Server is now shipping. The Advantage Xbase Server can
improve the multi-user performance and integrity of networked CA-Clipper
applications without rewriting a single line of code. The Advantage Xbase
Server seamlessly brings the multi-user performance and file integrity
benefits of client/server processing to CA Clipper applications. Advantage
Xbase Server consists of a Clipper Replaceable Database Driver (RDD) and a
NetWare Loadable Module (NLM). The RDD integrates seamlessly with existing
Clipper 5.01 or 5.2 applications. The NLM runs on a NetWare 3.11 or 4.0
fileserver.

"Beta testers claim performance increases of 10 to 20 times in WAN
applications," said Clay Young, marketing manager for the company's
software products. Testers with large LAN-based databases are also seeing
significant performance increases. "One beta site indicated that a report
previously requiring two 486-66MHz PCs over 18 hours to complete is now
processed in less than 3 hours," said Young. "All that was required to
achieve this increased performance was relinking the application with the
Advantage RDD and loading the Advantage Xbase Server NLM on their NetWare
file server," he added.

Advantage Xbase Server pricing ranges from $895 for the 5-user version to
$7495 for the 1000-user version. The Advantage Xbase Server Software
Developer's Kit (SDK), which contains everything required to create
client/server CA-Clipper applications, sells for $249. A complete range of
service programs are also available from Extended Systems.

Extended Systems product families focus on enabling users to increase the
life, functionality, and performance of their computer resources. Products
are available direct from Extended Systems, VAR's, and distributors
worldwide.
