Subject: SockeToome - The Personal File Sender Released

Black Diamond Products today announced the release of the first public beta
of its innovative new internet application SockeToome.

SockeToome is an application to send files to other users, directly,
person-to-person. It involves no central server, and can be used by people
with both static and dynamic IP addresses. It works at the sender's
convenience, queueing files for transmission to other users, and holding
them in a queue until successfully sent. If you regularly exchange files
with other people, SockeToome can simplify your life.

SockeToome:

* both retries and resumes transfers
* transmits directly between the sender's and receiver's computers
* involves no central server, preserving your privacy
* works at the sender's convenience as well as at the receiver's
* works between Macs and PCs
* can handle up to four outgoing and three incoming transmissions
simultaneously
* is very simple to set up and run
* is particularly suitable where people regularly exchange files
* works with both static and dynamic IP addresses
* utilises a priority-based queueing system
* allows messages to be sent with files
* features comprehensive logging
* can be run unattended
* features many queue management facilities
* can be used to back up critical files to a friend's computer

No longer is it necessary:

* to upload to a server for subsequent download, or
* to run a server and notify people when the server is online, or
* to entrust your files to email, or
* for both parties to be at their computers at the same time

Just pop your files into the send queue, and leave SockeToome running. When
the other person comes online, SockeToome will transmit the files.

SockeToome is available for the Mac and for the PC.

SockeToome is shareware, priced at $20 for a single user license. An
introductory special Correspondent offer buys two licenses for $26,
allowing you to set up a friend with SockeToome at a substantial discount.
