FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FREE CLEARWAY THREAD TWEAKER SMOOTHS AND SPEEDS PLUG-IN PERFORMANCE

-- Improves Speed of All Threaded Plug-ins Running Under WebSTAR.
-- Reduces Stalls, Hiccups, and Dead Periods; Smooths Performance.

December 30, 1998. ClearWay Technologies, Inc. today announced
"ClearWay Thread Tweaker", a free plug-in for WebSTAR servers that
improves the performance of threaded server plug-ins such as
NetCloak, Tango, and FireSite. The ClearWay Thread Tweaker re-tunes
WebSTAR's thread scheduler so that threaded plug-ins get the CPU time
that they need to run smoothly, quickly and efficiently. The new
software is available for immediate download from

The free Thread Tweaker can be used by itself, or in conjunction with
commercial acceleration products from ClearWay, including NITRO
PowerPlug and FireSite Web Site Accelerator. While the Thread Tweaker
itself is free, ClearWay is asking users to support the free software
simply by trying a demo of ClearWay NITRO PowerPlug. ClearWay NITRO
PowerPlug demos can be download from

The ClearWay Thread Tweaker has been tested (under the name "Thread
Fix") on hundreds of live Web servers all over the world; no
conflicts or problems have been reported.

leading developer of Internet acceleration tools. Founded in January
