 San Francisco, CA -- July 31, 1992: Alysis Software announces version 2.0 of its
 disk 
 expansion software package, SuperDisk!.  Users of the software can establish
 folders or drives 
 that compress every file moved into them, effectively expanding the capacity of
 their disks.  
 Version 2.0 of SuperDisk! includes More Disk Space, offering users background
 compression, 
 enhanced compression speed, auto-expanding folders, exception by Finder label,
 enhanced 
 compatibility and stability, and support for hardware acceleration.

 Breakthrough Technologies:
 SuperDisk! 2.0 represents the second generation of disk expansion software:  to
 deliver more 
 space than compression utilities, it employees four new technologies, resource
 compression, 
 transportable compressed application (TCA) creation, duplicate file replacement,
 and network 
 acceleration.  As a result SuperDisk! not only delivers more usable room on hard
 disks, but it 
 also allows users to access their files and applications exactly as they
 normally would.

 Hardware Data Compression
 SuperDisk! 2.0 supports the ETC DataPress, allowing users to compress data files
 up to 10 
 times faster than with software alone.  The DataPress attaches to the SCSI port,
 freeing 
 expansion slots and allowing users to use hardware compression with any
 Macintosh 
 equipped with a SCSI bus.  Since the algorithm employed by the DataPress has
 been properly 
 licensed, users can be sure that the product will supported even as SuperDisk!
 is revised and 
 improved. 

 New Features
 Besides hardware support, SuperDisk! 2.0 offers user-definable file name
 extensions, 
 accelerated launching times, delayed compression, background compression, auto-
 segmenting files, exception by folder, a separate security extension, and
 exception of files and 
 folders by Finder label.

 Boosted Performance
 SuperDisk! excels in terms of raw data compression performance with or without
 hardware 
 acceleration.  Disk Doubler, Compactor and Stuffit Deluxe deliver comparable
 compression 
 ratios only in their slowest modes.   SuperDisk! consistently out-compresses
 AutoDoubler on 
 large document files.  Document files compressed by SuperDisk! generally open in
 about the 
 same amount of time as uncompressed documents of the same size.  Applications
 made 
 smaller by SuperDisk! often launch in less time than uncompressed applications.

 SuperDisk! 2.0 has a suggested retail price of $119.95 and will be available
 through mail-
 order and retail outlets everywhere on August 17th.

 SuperDisk! 2.0 will be displayed at the MacWorld Expo at Bayside, booth
 2036-2038.
