HELIX SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES HURRICANE

Speeds-up Systems and Provides Unlimited Resources for Windows

Includes Free Windows 95 Upgrade

May 8, 1995, New York, NY - Helix Software, makers of the award-winning
NETROOM and Multimedia Cloaking, announced today a powerful new utility,
Hurricane, designed to speed-up the Microsoft Windows and Windows for
Workgroups operating environments (with Windows 95 support provided via a
free upgrade). Combining exceptional reporting and analysis features with
the only true speed-enhancement utilities available, Hurricane provides
users with unbeatable performance for all their Windows applications.

Windows' users biggest complaint is the lack of system resources and bad
system performance. Hurricane provides new, patent-pending technologies,
that solve these complaints. Hurricane is a very low-cost and easy-to-use
utility, which consists of three major components:

* Discover for Windows - Analyzes Windows, DOS and your PC.
* WinGauge - Real-time Monitor reports on problems and conflicts.
* Hurricane Utilities - Tools that solve speed, resource and
  reliability problems.

Discover for Windows

Discover for Windows is the first system analysis tool designed to take
advantage of all the features of Windows. Unlike other analysis utilities,
Discover for Windows reports information on every aspect of Windows and
DOS operations. Using sound, graphics, and images, Discover for Windows
provides detailed graphical information on: memory, video, resources,
system usage, disk drives, and benchmarks.

WinGauge

WinGauge is real-time performance tracking tool which provides a graphical
representation of all important Windows activity. Using bar graphs, meters
and other graphics, WinGauge notifies users of possible memory and
resource error conditions and allows system administrators to perform
"post mortem" analysis of user's systems. WinGauge can be run as a
separate module of Hurricane and is accessible whenever the user needs
information. WinGauge is a powerful diagnostic tool which can catch many
problems before they happen.

The Hurricane Utilities

The Hurricane Utilities are a comprehensive set of tools designed to solve
the resource, memory, speed and reliability problems users may experience
with Windows. The utilities include a resource expander, an enhanced
32-bit VCACHE (speeds up 32-bit file access), 32-bit caching for all
drives, a print cache, a dynamic RAM drive, a Pentium enhancer, a screen
accelerator, and other utilities which improve resource and memory
handling under Windows. All the Hurricane utilities are installed and
configured from one interface menu.

"Hurricane is designed to enhance all Windows-based systems, increasing
system performance and application access," said Michael Spilo, President
of Helix Software. "Hurricane builds on our exceptional expertise in
memory management and utility software, providing an elegant solution to
users' performance and resource problems."

Free Windows 95 Upgrade

Purchasers of Hurricane who register their software will receive a free
upgrade to Hurricane for Windows 95 as soon as Windows 95 is available.
Hurricane will be available May 31st, 1995, with a list price of $79.95.
Helix Software products are distributed by Ingram Micro and Merisel.
Hurricane supports Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or
greater.
