DevTech Announces the Release of SiteSurfer v1.0
Columbia, SC, December, 21 1998 -- DevTech, Inc. today announced the
availability of their latest product, SiteSurfer, a powerful and easy to use
searching and navigation software application for Web sites and local hard
drives. SiteSurfer allows individuals to easily and quickly find information
on Web sites that don't provide searching, or that are hard to navigate. If
you are visiting a site that has no search engine, for example, you can use
SiteSurfer to locate needed information.
"Even users who don't have web sites benefit from SiteSurfer, because they
can use it to search for information on web sites that belong to other
companies and individuals," says Evan Bergman, DevTech Vice President. "They
can use SiteSurfer to search for information in their own files, too. We
have one customer who uses it to quickly search more than 20,000 e-mail
messages. And our developers use SiteSurfer to search the Java
documentation."
Written in Java for portability, SiteSurfer is completely at home on Windows
95/98, Windows NT/2000, Linux, OS/2, UNIX, Macintosh, and other operating
environments supporting Java 1.1 or later. SiteSurfer requires neither
special knowledge, nor special programs to be run. Anyone who has access to
a Web site, information stored on a network, or documents on a hard disk,
can use SiteSurfer. SiteSurfer does not skimp on functionality. Advanced
features are present and plentiful, and yet still easy to use.
With built-in support for text, HTML, Ami Pro, Windows Write, Microsoft
Word, Microsoft Word for Windows, and Word Perfect, SiteSurfer provides a
portable and ideal means to rapidly navigate personal and commercial
Internet and intranet Web sites, CD-ROM publications, and other information
sources.
SiteSurfer is available from DevTech, Inc., as well as through Indelible
Blue, BMT Micro, Inc., and other respected vendors. VAR/VAD inquiries from
web designers, hosting services, and others are welcome.
A user with a personal license may index any number of Web sites, network
locations, or directories; using the generated indexes for his or her own
use.
This license also permits the user to index the user's own personal,
non-commercial Web site, so that public visitors to that personal web site
can use the SiteSurfer search and navigation applet. An individual license
has a suggested retail price of $79.95, but will be available for 90 days
for an introductory price of $49.95. Commercial licenses are also available.
DevTech is a software development and consulting company. Recognized experts
in object technology, DevTech produces commercial products, and provides a
wide range of consulting services to software development firms, corporate
developers, and other consultants. For additional information on DevTech and
