FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 31, 1994



Haverhill, Mass. - SilverWARE Computer Software announced today MoreInfo 2.0 for the Newton, a major enhancement to its already popular utility.  MoreInfo 2.0 contains over 40 new exciting features!  MoreInfo is a powerful utility which enables the user to store additional information for each and every one of their names directly from within the Name File.  MoreInfo includes an enhanced alarm feature for appointments and To Dos.  One of the navigational features allows users to move from the Name File to an appointment or a To Do in the Date Book.  An integrated contact manager allows users to closely track contacts, upcoming appointments and To Dos.  MoreInfo 2.0 will ship November 7th and sell for $49.

Unquestionably, the most exciting feature new to 2.0 is complete Newton Connection Kit (NCK) support.  Although NCK support is fairly common in most Newton products, no product can claim that it supports editing of existing Name File fields along with additional fields in the SAME edit window.  Users of NCK for Macintosh or NCK for Windows will now be able to edit all of the existing Name File information along with all of the MoreInfo information in a single window.  Users will now be able to edit, import and export contact log information, other addresses, other e-mail addresses, company information, family information, account information and custom information.  This information can then be downloaded to their Newton.  Of course, users choosing to enter information on their Newton can upload it to their personal computer via Newton Connection Kit for easy exporting to their favorite Macintosh or Windows based contact manager.

MoreInfo 2.0 now tracks appointments and To Dos thoroughly. If desired, it will prompt the user to automatically enter past appointments and completed To Dos into MoreInfo's integrated Contact Log.  MoreInfo also knows when you have changed an appointment or a To Do and automatically updates the Contact Log.  MoreInfo's newly designed Contact Log screen lists upcoming contacts for an individual.  MoreInfo tracks To Dos created by MoreInfo and saved to either the built-in To Do list, Notion 1.0 & 1.1 and NotePak 1.0 & 2.0.

MoreInfo 2.0 has expanded its enhanced alarm capabilities.  Users can now specify through MoreInfo's preferences screen if they want alarms to be repeating.  Alarms can repeat every few minutes or until acknowledged.  Additionally, To Do reminders now have the same enhanced alarm features as do appointments.  Another exciting new feature is MoreInfo's Custom Info Form.  It allows the users to customize the label and the information stored for 12 fields for each individual name.

SilverWARE has incorporated close to 90% of customer requests.  Company owner Scott Silverman states, "We have truly listened to customer feedback and have incorporated their suggestions along with many other exciting new features.  NCK support was the single most requested feature and we have delivered!"

Existing customers can upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 for a modest $10 plus shipping & handling.  A demo version of MoreInfo 2.0 will be available on most of the major online services shortly after version 2.0 ships.  Those interested in the product can contact SilverWARE directly or download the demo.  The demo is fully functional except that it only can be used with a single name from the Names File.  The demo does not contain NCK functionality.

SilverWARE was the first to introduce the concept of linking additional information to names in the Name File when it announced MoreInfo in July and shipped at MacWorld Boston on August 2nd.  MoreInfo's extensive features and ease of use make it a must for every Newton user.  Minimum memory requirement is 310K of free space.  MoreInfo is compatible with all Newtons and is priced at $49.  SilverWARE is also the same company that brought you the Newton game Isaac and the Macintosh titles MacAuto, FetchIt, FolderJump, KopyKat and PrintOne.  For more information contact SilverWARE, P.O. Box 6379, Haverhill, MA 01831 or call 508-521-5262 or fax at 508-373-7282.
