AUSTIN-SOFT RELEASES HAPPYGEAR 2.5 FOR MAC
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR GAMES FOR $30

VANCOUVER, WA - June 5, 2002. Austin-Soft, creators of HFS DST+ Timefix,
DTerm, and Bouncer, today announced HappyGear 2.5, a new version of their
game control software for $30. In making the announcement, Glenn L. Austin,
Austin-Soft CEO commented, "Version 2.5 is an very important step forward
for HappyGear. It provides critical simplification for game device
configuration as well as provides a design to build upon for the future."

HappyGear is the only software that permits users of newer InputSprocket
compatible game devices, such as joysticks, game pads and wheels, to be
used with both older games designed to use old ADB-based game devices as
well as programs that were designed to be used with just the keyboard and
mouse. "HappyGear can also simplify the use of programs that use a
multitude of keys to control the program," lead programmer Glenn Austin
stated. "HappyGear was originally designed to be used with games, but we've
been amazed at the number of other programs people are using HappyGear to
control."

HappyGear is only $30 and is available for Mac OS 9. Demos, samples and
other information can be found at www.austin-soft.com.
