Bittco Ships Co-motion 1.5 and Co-motion Lite

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada-: For people who collaborate, Bittco Solutions
announced the shipping of an update to Co-motion for Macintosh, and the
release of a shareware product, Co-motion Lite for Macintosh. With these
two products, Bittco continues to bring real-time, multi-user
collaboration software to your desktop.

Co-motion 1.5 provides a solution for people who don't want to brainstorm
alone and who don't want to just brainstorm. With Co-motion 1.5, an
individual can get their group working together to brainstorm and evaluate
ideas during a shared, live discussion over their network. "In the
real-time environment of the Session window and Chat palette, ideas come
fast and furious as everyone can talk at the same time through their
keyboards," says Myrna Bittner, product manager, Bittco. "Inspiration
doesn't have to wait for someone else to finish!" The group's evaluation
of each idea also increases the efficiency of the issue resolution and
decision-making process. Official Co-motion Reports detail each idea,
notes and group evaluation statistics. The participants walk away knowing
exactly what their group thinks.

New in Co-motion 1.5 are features that give participants more personal
interaction options. During a session, participants will now find a
sizable Chat palette useful if they have a lot of questions or comments.
Find and list tools appeal to those who prefer highly organized and
systematic approaches. A new Scroll palette accelerates browsing. And,
next and previous tools in each idea's Info window make it easier to
navigate through detailed views.

Also new are expanded reporting options and calling card invitations. A
Catalog report details all of the ideas, and the inclusion of notes on
reports provides more insight into each idea. Co-motion is now scriptable.
AppleScript supports another way to get and sort Co-motion 1.5 session
results as well as place the information in other applications. Calling
cards enable a group to quickly alert members and invite them to new
sessions created on the fly.

"During development we continued to work hard on minimizing the hardware
requirements for Co-motion 1.5," says Dean Bittner, product development,
Bittco. Even with the new features of Co-motion 1.5, the requirements
remain the same: a Macintosh running System 7 or later, with a hard disk,
4 MB of total RAM, and any AppleTalk compatible network.

Whether your group consists of traveling executives, task force members,
consultants, or people who just want to find out what other people think,
Co-motion 1.5 quickly becomes an invaluable time-saving and team-building
tool. You can be in as many sessions as you can handle, with as many
people as you want, wherever or whenever it is convenient.

Bittco is also releasing the shareware product, Co-motion Lite. "We created
an affordable entry point for people who want to experience this new
technology," says Shelly Hines, marketing, Bittco. "Co-motion Lite is an
excellent place for groups to start with real-time brainstorming." Bittco
has made Co-motion Lite available in many on-line shareware forums.
