SlipKnot, the graphical World Wide Web browser for PC-Windows users with
UNIX shell accounts, was named Ziff-Davis/PC Magazine Shareware
Communications Software Winner, based on innovativeness, quality and
value. SlipKnot was also the runner-up for Best of Year Overall category
(behind CD-Quick Cache). (This was the first time the awards committee
announced a runner-up.)

In additional news, SlipKnot's just-released version 1.11 now offers OS/2
compatibility and speed improvements. Three previous upgrades since
November have added support for fill-in forms (through lynx), gopher,
telnet, modemless direct serial connections, longer job queues, a large
list of popular bookmarks, and site license customizations. Other
improvements are on the way.

In accepting the award, Peter Brooks, SlipKnot's developer, urged other
software developers at the annual Shareware Industry Conference to follow
MicroMind's lead in donating significant portions of revenues to nonprofit
and advocacy organizations. (10% of SlipKnot's _gross_ revenues go to the
Center for Victims of Torture and the International Rescue Committee.)
