PowerQuest Announces "PartitionMagic" at Fall Comdex

Utility Shrinks/Expands Drive Partitions like Magic!

November 14, 1994, Orem, Utah -- At the 1994 Fall Comdex in Las Vegas,
PowerQuest Corporation announced "PartitionMagic," a unique software
utility that allows computer users to dynamically shrink or expand FAT and
HPFS disk partitions while keeping all files and data intact. Partition
Magic also converts FAT partitions into HPFS, which is of particular
interest to OS/2 users.

"PartitionMagic is a radically new program, not a 'Me-Too!' product," said
Eric J. Ruff, President of PowerQuest Corporation. "Until now, computer
users could never resize disk partitions without resorting to the tedious
and time-consuming process of backing up all files and drives, running
FDISK to create new partitions (which destroys all data), then running
FORMAT, and finally reinstalling the operating system and restoring all
the files. With PartitionMagic, you just click with the mouse and wait a
minute. Our simple graphical user interface is the same for OS/2, DOS, and
Windows."

PartitionMagic has been thoughtfully designed with Power-Failure- Proof(tm)
management, which means that, in case of a power failure, no data will be
lost while performing any PartitionMagic operation. In addition to being
extremely fast, PartitionMagic is designed to preserve the user's files
and data at all costs.

Ruff explains one simple use of PartitionMagic: "Imagine a user with a
400MB disk divided into two drives (C: and D:) of 200MB each. This
configuration, typical of many installations, is not optimal since any
free space is divided between the two partitions. With PartitionMagic, I
can shrink C: to eliminate its free space and then expand D: to combine
the free space into one much more usable block -- and this entire process
will take only a few clicks of the mouse and a few minutes of my time. I
don't have to back up any data, and I don't need to run FDISK or FORMAT!"

PartitionMagic for OS/2 will ship January 1995. Although PartitionMagic is
initially targeted toward the OS/2 user, a 32-bit DOS executable version
of the program will be included with the product so users who want a
separate partition for OS/2, or any operating system, can shrink
partitions first to make room for the new partition.

PartitionMagic will retail for $129.95. PowerQuest provides site- license
pricing for volume users and special quantity-bundle pricing for OEMs.
Special discounts are available on orders placed before January 15, 1995.
