CLEARWAY SPEEDS MAC OS WEB SERVERS WITH NITRO 2.1

October 8, 1998. Boston, ClearWay Technologies today announced immediate
availability of ClearWay NITRO PowerPlug 2.1. NITRO PowerPlug 2.1 boosts
the performance of WebSTAR and compatible MacOS Web servers up to 200% or
more by slashing server latency, increasing processing speed and
responsiveness, and accelerating server plug-ins. The new 2.1 release of
NITRO PowerPlug is compatible with more plug-ins, more Web servers, and

Explosive Performance Boost
Since its initial release, ClearWay NITRO PowerPlug has delivered an
explosive performance boost to thousands of high-traffic Mac Web sites,
including Ric Ford's popular Macintouch site (http://www.macintouch.com/).
User comments on NITRO 2.0 have ranged from "everyone thinks we upgraded
the server!" to one Webmaster's simple review, "WOW WOW WOW!"

Now NITRO PowerPlug 2.1 adds support for Tenon's WebTen server, as well as
improved operation with WebSTAR-compatible plug-ins. In addition, NITRO 2.1
corrects a memory leak with NITRO 2.0 and WebSTAR 3.x that slowly degraded
performance. NITRO 2.1 can now sustain peak levels of performance
indefinitely.

institutions. NITRO 2.1 will is a free update for all NITRO 1.0 and 2.0
