SYNDICOMM OBTAINS EXCLUSIVE LICENSE TO DISTRIBUTE PARKHURST MICRO PRODUCTS LINE

July 26, 2001--Syndicomm today announced that it has inked an exclusive
licensing deal with Parkhurst Micro Products (PMP) for the distribution of its
entire product line.  With this deal, ANSITerm, PMPFax, and PMPUnzip are now
published and distributed by Syndicomm, with immediate availability.

Paul Parkhurst of PMP said, "I'm very excited to once again make PMPFax and
ANSITerm available to the Apple II community.  It's great to know that there's
still an interest in the Apple II eight years after the first version of
ANSITerm was originally released."  He continued, "I'd like to thank everyone
who's kept the memory of these two products alive, and I'd especially like to
thank Eric Shepherd of Syndicomm for helping me resurrect them.  I hope
everyone enjoys using ANSITerm and PMPFax as much as I enjoyed writing them all
those years ago."

ANSITerm is a ProDOS 8-based telecommunications package for the Apple IIgs
computer with a powerful scripting language and extremely powerful emulations
that perfectly replicate the VT-100 and ANSI displays on the Apple IIgs screen
using a custom super-high-resolution based text display.  The complete package
includes a large printed manual, quick reference cards, and a floppy disk. 
ANSITerm is available immediately for the new low retail price of $40.

PMPFax is a complete Apple IIgs fax solution for both sending and receiving
faxes.  With both a fax application and desk accessory, and the ability to
print documents to fax, PMPFax is a fantastic product for anyone that uses
their Apple II for business -- or would like to avoid using their business
computer for faxing.  The package includes a printed manual and two disks. 
PMPFax is available now for only $35.

PMPUnzip is a utility for unpacking standard Zip format archive files.  This
shareware utility has remained available for download for years, but is now
distributed on disk as well.  The shareware fee remains only $15.

"I'm pleased to be able to bring these products back to market after a long
hiatus," said Eric Shepherd, owner of Syndicomm.  "ANSITerm is one of the best
telecommunications products ever released for the Apple II, and its return to
availability will be welcomed by many.  Additionally, the return of PMPFax will
allow people that have been looking for a fax solution to finally fill that
need."
