            Xanthus International Announces 

                SplitBuilder/Receiver 2.0 

      - for sending large files with NeXTmail

(Stockholm, November 20, 1992) Xanthus International AB today announced  
that it is shipping SplitBuilder/Receiver 2.0, a utility program for the  
NeXT computer that makes it possible for users to send files of any size  
with NeXTmail by dividing them into smaller files.

A problem with NeXTmail is that sometimes you want to send attachments  
that are so big that some gateways on the net will refuse to deliver your  
letter because of its size.

SplitBuilder/Receiver solves this problem by allowing the sender to divide  
big files into smaller pieces, called "splits". By clicking a button, all  
the split files are sent as NeXTmail attachments. The receiver can then  
easily assemble the splits by drag-and-drop to restore the original file.  
No knowledge about UNIX is needed to be able to assemble the original file  
from the split files.

"We save a lot of time and money by using SplitBuilder/Receiver  
ourselves", says Jesper Lundh, marketing manager at Xanthus. "We can  
quickly deliver new version upgrades, as well as beta- and demo copies of  
our products by just clicking two buttons. Both the version 1.1 upgrade of  
CraftMan and the beta copies of our newly announced spreadsheet Questor  
are distributed using the SplitBuilder/Receiver."

SplitBuilder/Receiver consists of three different applications:

- SplitBuilder divides big files into smaller pieces ("splits") that can  
be sent by NeXTmail.

- SplitMailer automatically creates one letter for each split file,  
inserts the split file and sends the letters.

- SplitReceiver puts all the splits together on the receivers machine. The  
SplitReceiver is not copy protected and can automatically be sent in the  
first letter by the SplitMailer.

Users of SplitBuilder/Receiver 1.0 will automatically get a free upgrade  
to version 2.0.
