FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Version Master-Mac 2.0 Released
World's largest database of Macintosh software keeps Mac
professionals up-to-date
(Scottsdale, Arizona--May 4, 1999) Symmetry Software Corporation has
announced the release of Version Master-Mac 2.0, the first of two
major Internet based software update resources. A Windows version,
featuring web site and companion client application, is about to
enter its beta testing phase.
Over the last 3 years, the Version Master-Mac 1.0 application has
silently attracted thousands of Macintosh aficionados and
professionals. Unlike most software update tools, Version Master-Mac
dynamically builds and updates a massive database of over 60,000
worldwide Macintosh titles, including OS extensions, control panels,
and INITs of every conceivable variety.
Version Master-Mac 2.0 dramatically increases its utility to the
Macintosh IS professional by adding automatic e-mail notification.
When updates occur to the specific software users have on their Macs,
Version Master will send an e-mail notifying the user that a newer
version is available. Symmetry even verifies if the version is an
official release or an unofficial version in restricted release by
its developer. A Sherlock Plug-In is included which accesses the new
search engine at the Version Master web site.
"We have totally rebuilt and enhanced this product and the service it
provides", reports Thomas Reahard, President of Symmetry Software and
creator of Version Master. "More powerful servers have increased
Version Master's usefulness. Even if a user just wants to log onto
our web site and conduct a quick query, the answer to his update
issue may found instantly."
Free copies of Version Master-Mac may be downloaded from the Version
Master web site: http://www.versionmaster.com.
Version Master is available in English, Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese,
Dutch, Danish, Finnish, and Spanish.
While the Version Master-Mac web site and companion application may
still be used for free, Symmetry is requesting a small annual fee of
$19.95 for users to enjoy full automatic benefits like the E-mail
notification and comprehensive listings of product and download
locations.
Symmetry Software has been providing software solutions to the
Macintosh community since 1984. Symmetry is a privately held
corporation whose other products include the award winning NetBooks
Accounting for Macintosh and Acta Pro.
