PRESS RELEASE

MOMENTUM ANNOUNCES CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION FOR NEWTON DEVELOPERS

Perth, Western Australia, July 1st 1994 - Momentum has announced the
release of ScriptLink, a connectivity solution aimed at Newton
developers. Heralding the integration of the Newton into the
enterprise computing environment, ScriptLink builds upon the ease of
use and powerful communications architecture of Apple Computer's
Newton product family.

ScriptLink offers Newton developers a flexible mechanism for
controlling a server Macintosh using AppleScript, Apple's powerful
scripting language for the Macintosh. Combining the flexibility of
AppleScript with the mobile computing power of the Newton, ScriptLink
enables developers to quickly build customised solutions using off
the shelf software packages. ScriptLink is compatible with industry
standard wired and wireless AppleTalk networks.

ScriptLink is based on a powerful client server architecture, with
the Macintosh based ScriptLink Server providing a secure, multi-user
environment in which AppleScript commands are executed. The Newton
based ScriptLink Client provides a high level interface for
developers of Newton applications, removing the requirement to work
directly with low level communications protocols. Using ScriptLink,
developers can eliminate the need to create customised server
software for each application, dramatically reducing overall
development time.

The ScriptLink Developer Kit offers developers an easy way to reduce
the time and complexity involved in developing powerful Newton
products. Extensive developer documentation and a range of sample
applications complete with source code are included in the Developer
Kit. With the examples provided, developers can quickly add the
appropriate AppleScript routines and call ScriptLink from within
their own Newton applications, providing a simple yet powerful way to
add communications capability to any Newton software. Additional
copies of the ScriptLink Server and Client software are available
for use in end user sites where applications are deployed.

Potential applications range from simple data transfer to vertical
market data capture and retrieval applications. Using the wide range
of AppleScript-aware applications available for the Macintosh,
developers can easily add remote communications, database access and
other facilities into any Newton application.

Distribution of ScriptLink is expected to commence within 30 days.
