HandOff(tm) eliminates "Application Not Found".

Software Innovations, announces the release of HandOff, a utility
that will allow users to open any file from the Macintosh Finder!
HandOff eliminates the dreaded "Application Not Found" alert that
the Finder displays when the user tries to open a document that was
created by an application that the user doesn't have or a document
that was created by another type of computer.

When the Finder can't find an application to open the selected
document(s), HandOff presents the user with a friendly dialog to
select a substitute application.  This substitute can then be used
for all documents created by the same missing application.  For
example, users can redirect all MacWrite documents to MacWrite II.

HandOff also provides the ability to redirect files to Macintosh
applications based on the filename extension.  This will be useful
for those borrowing files from other computers, especially PCs.  For
example, the user could map all ".TXT" files to their favorite word
processor or all ".WK1" files to their spreadsheet.

Jean-Louis Gassee, President, Apple Products, says, "I've used HandOff
repeatedly and I definitely feel it's a nice, unobtrusive and very
much needed extension to my Macintosh.  Another tribute to the
imagination and care of software developers."

HandOff will be shipping next week to those who have already placed
orders and will be available at dealers in October.  For more
