         LinkScan Version 2.1 Introduced by Elsop

Gardnerville, NV - April 22, 1997 - Electronic Software Publishing 
Corp. (Elsop) introduces new features in LinkScan version 2.1 
that greatly enhance its power and flexibility for checking very 
large internet and intranet websites.

Conventional link checking and site mapping tools use only the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and TCP/IP to analyse the
web site under examination. Elsop developed LinkScan using
a different approach - file system navigation - to provide
users with much greater performance and a solution with
unparalled scalability. LinkScan is being used today on many
truly massive web sites with tens of thousands of pages and
external links. 

With the introduction of LinkScan 2.1, Elsop has added a
number of features that include support for:

* Server aliases
* Server redirections
* Selective execution of CGI scripts and other dynamically
  created pages.

The effect of these new capabilities is a system which 
offers a unique blend of file system and HTTP navigation giving 
the user the best of both worlds: (1) the performance and scalability
benefits of file system navigation and (2) the strengths 
of HTTP navigation. These combined new features mean 
LinkScan can analyze "dynamic" pages created on-the-fly by programs 
such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts, Active Server 
Pages (ASP) and numerous Relational Database Management Systems.

LinkScan also supports proxy servers which is a requisite for
organizations that have large internal networks and stringent 
security requirements. It gives the system administrators much 
more flexibility when integrating LinkScan into complex 
Intranet environments.

LinkScan is the only link checker that uses multi-threaded 
simultaneous processing which enables it to check external links 
at a rate in excess of 40,000 links per hour.

LinkScan 2.1 also incorporates many other small improvements
and refinements based on an extensive dialogue with LinkScan
customers around the world. A noteworthy example is the
expanded navigation tool bar in LinkScan's powerful TapMap,
an expandable and collapsible site map that provides easy
and quick display of a website's entire hierarchical structure
with instant access to any of its pages.

Elsop's LinkScan reports and site maps may be viewed using any of 
the standard Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator 1.2 and up, and 
Microsoft Internet Explorer on any platform including Windows 3.1, 
Windows 95, Macintosh, and, of course, Unix. LinkScan can be used 
by virtually anyone because it is designed to run on industry 
standard Unix and Microsoft Windows NT web servers.

Free fully functional evaluation copies of LinkScan 2.1 may be
