AURORA SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES VERSION 1.1 OF TARRE

Tarre 1.1 runs on NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors

MADISON, WI --- May 24, 1994 --- Aurora Software announced today
the immediate availability of Tarre(TM) version 1.1.  This version
runs on NEXTSTEP(R) for NeXT(R) computers and on NEXTSTEP for
Intel(R) Processors.

Tarre is a compression and archive utility for computers running
NEXTSTEP.  It seamlessly integrates with the Workspace Manager via
the Services menu, facilitating the creation and use of
compressed, archived and split files.

In addition to supporting NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors, Tarre 1.1
features a new Split service that enables large files and folders
to be split into a number of smaller files.  These smaller files
can then be transmitted via electronic mail or stored on
low-capacity, removable media such as floppy disks.

Tarre uses the standard UNIX programs tar and compress to read and
write archive files that are compatible with virtually every UNIX
system.  Unlike most archive utilities, however, Tarre allows
users to inspect and extract files in a compressed archive without
first uncompressing the archive.

Tarre has a suggested retail price of $49.  Site license pricing
is available on request.  Tarre is available directly from Aurora
Software and through various NeXT distributors, VARs and dealers.

Registered users of Tarre 1.0 can upgrade to Tarre 1.1 by
requesting a new license key and retrieving the software from an
ftp site.  The software update is also available directly from
Aurora Software for a small shipping and handling fee.

Aurora Software develops high-quality, affordable software that
runs on NEXTSTEP.  The leader in NEXTSTEP utility software, Aurora
Software is dedicated to improving user efficiency and
productivity.

Aurora Software is headquartered at 2924 Colgate Road, Madison, WI

53705.  Tarre is a trademark of Aurora Software.  NeXT and
NEXTSTEP are registered trademarks of NeXT, Inc.  Intel is a
registered trademark of Intel Corporation.
