     FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
     SWITCH-IT! - A MULTI-APPLICATION SWITCHER FOR THE APPLE IIGS
     
     Littleton, CO, December 25, 1992 -- Procyon Enterprises, Inc. of
     Littleton, Colorado announced today that they have released
     Switch-It!, an extension to Apple Computer, Inc.'s GS/OS, that
     brings Macintosh MultiFinder style capabilities to the Apple
     IIGS.  Switch-It! allows the user to load any number of desktop
     programs (limited only by main memory) and switch between them
     instantly.  The addition of this important new ability makes the
     Apple IIGS computer one of the most versatile and cost effective
     personal computers on the market today.
     
     Switch-It! is fully compatible with the most popular
     applications for the IIGS, including AppleWorks GS, Platinum
     Paint, DreamGrafix, Medley, Finder, GraphicWriter III, HyperCard
     and HyperStudio, and many more.  Matt Gudermuth, President of
     Procyon, Inc., said "For anyone who finds themselves moving
     between a lot of different GS/OS desktop programs, you'll save
     an amazing amount of time.  Switch-It! allowed us to produce the
     documentation in roughly half the time it normally takes. 
     Switch-It! is the perfect way to increase your productivity."
     
     Switch-It! is closely integrated with System Software 6.0 via
     its Inter-Application Communication features, turning the plain
     IIGS Finder into a MultiFinder.  "When you launch a program from
     the Finder, the Finder remains resident.  This not only greatly
     speeds up launching and quitting, but means the Finder is always
     handy in the event one needs to format a disk or do other Finder
     operations from another program.", Jawaid Bazyar, Vice-President
     and Chief Technical Officer, explained.  "With Switch-It!, those
     long periods waiting for a program to load or for a program to
     quit back to the Finder are gone.  This is especially beneficial
     to users without hard disk drives.", Mr. Bazyar continued. 
     "Switch-It! also makes cutting and pasting between applications
     quick and easy."
     
     Switch-It! is fully compatible with and requires GS/OS System
     6.0.  It comes with several desk accessories that help exploit
     the power of switching technology.  Switch-It! also comes with
     Apple IIGS Installer scripts, so putting Switch-It! on a hard
     drive is a simple operation.  Product support is provided by
     telephone and online through InterNet, America Online, GEnie,
     and Delphi.
     
     Switch-It! has a list price of just $79.95 and will be available
     from mail order houses by the third week of January.  For more
