Qvadis Releases Alpha Version of E-Text Previewer

Toronto, ON - 13 February 1999 - Qvadis Corporation today opened for limited release the alpha version of its desktop previewing utility, Qvadis Express Reader DX. Able to previews e-texts formatted for either 3Com's Palm line of connected organizers or palm-sized PCs based on Microsoft's Windows CE operating system, Express Reader enables browsing of e-texts prior to handheld loading for mobile applications. A more general beta release, with added capabilities, is planned for the second quarter of 1999.

"We're pleased with the response so far," said Dr. Sam Peralta, President and CEO of Qvadis. "Users who have tried out Express Reader have told us easy desktop management of handheld e-text files was something they'd been waiting for for a long time."

E-texts for the Palm and Windows CE handheld platforms are commonly in the Doc format, a widely-used open protocol for compressing files so that they fit in the limited memory capacity of handhelds.

While utilities for compressing and decompressing such files exist for palmtops, there has been a need for a desktop utility for previewing and editing these files, before uploading them to the palmtop. Express Reader is the first user-friendly utility to fill this need.
