McAFEE ASSOCIATES AND LEDBETTER UTILITIES ANNOUNCE SHAREWARE PARTNERSHIP
Santa Clara, CA - August 20, 1992 - McAfee Associates, a leading developer of
anti-virus utilities, today announced the integration of Keith Ledbetter's
Utilities into its product line.
The Ledbetter Utilities include a suite of three extremely popular shareware
utility programs known as Supersonic Search Tool (WHEREIS, a file finder and
Manipulator), LCD (a directory change utility), and LACE (a configuration
control utility). McAfee Associates will enhance the functionality and provide
all customer support, sales, and marketing for the products. Keith Ledbetter
will continue to provide additional enhancements and product development
support for the utilities.
The first of McAfee Associates' new utilities, TARGET (an enhanced version of
Supersonic Search Tool), was released last week. TARGET is a powerful, multi-
purpose file finder and manipulation utility. It can target selected files
across all drives, including network drives, and can initiate actions on those
files such as virus scanning, copying, renaming, re-grouping, deleting,
archiving, and many other functions. It will search based on date ranges, file
sizes, attributes, file extensions or duplicate files, and can use a variety
of search masks - including regular expressions. For example, TARGET can be
used to locate all .DOC files buried in sub-directories of local drives and file
servers and incorporate them into a ZIP-archive file, and then delete all of the
unarchived .DOC files.
The remaining Ledbetter utilities LCD and LACE are currently being modified to
provide additional features and functionality to users. These products will be
released in the fourth quarter of 1992.
McAfee Associates' CEO John McAfee stated that "We are extremely proud to add
Keith's outstanding utilities to our product line," and added "We are committed
to expanding our product offerings to include a broad range of solutions for
our home, business, and government users. These solutions will include a
family of PC utilities that will enrich users' productivity and data security."
Bill McKiernan, McAfee President & COO, said "Our users tell us they like the
flexibility of buying only the utilities they need. Our approach is to give
users the choice of buying utilities separately or as a bundled package.
Afterall, when you need a hammer, Sears doesn't force you to buy the whole
tool kit."

agents world-wide. The product is licensed to homeusers for $20 which
includes all updates for one year. Business, government, and other
institutional users may license the product under a two-year site license
agreement which includes free product updates during the term of the license.
McAfee Associates intends to update the programs at least twice a year with
additional features and functions. TARGET plus other McAfee Associates'
utilities can be downloaded for evaluation at no charge from McAfee
Associates' BBS at (408) 988-4004 or from CompuServe (GO MCAFEE).
