FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS INFORMATION Internet: press@qualitas.com Qualitas Announces New Qualitas C.Y.A. Qualitas C.Y.A. provides easy recovery from destructive Windows changes BETHESDA, MD -- June 14, 1996 -- Qualitas, Inc. announces plans to release a new Windows utility, Qualitas C.Y.A.* (*Cover Your Applications). Qualitas C.Y.A. provides an easy solution for diagnosing and recovering from Windows crashes by capturing and storing critical Windows and system configuration files, including the Windows Registry. "The most common causes for erratic Windows behavior and crashes are changes that get made to the Registry and Windows configuration files." said Victoria Borton, Director of Product Development. "These changes are usually made when installing new software programs and may not be obvious to the end user." Qualitas C.Y.A. automatically captures critical Windows configuration files, including the Windows Registry, and stores the backups in an space-efficient compressed format. Qualitas C.Y.A. is a simple yet powerful utility. By letting users easily view the changes made to the Registry by other applications, C.Y.A. takes some of the mystery out of the Registry. If Windows becomes unstable as a result of changes made by other programs, the user can easily view the captured backups, compare the differences, and restore the files with the click of one button. Running it before installing other programs guarantees that a user can easily return to a working configuration. Other features include a scheduler to automatically capture system files on a regular basis and the ability to customize the backup to include any number of system or Windows files. "It's a Windows insurance policy." said Mary Stanley, CEO. "You wouldn't operate your car without insurance, why would you run Windows without Qualitas C.Y.A.?" Qualitas C.Y.A. appeals to system administrators as well as end users. "We have saved valuable diagnostic hours by being able to view all changes to a system in an organized method." said Atiq Abdullah, Director of MIS at Hanger Orthopedic Group in Bethesda, MD and a C.Y.A. beta tester. "Either doing a quick restore or making selective changes after identifying the problems let us get our employees back to work quickly." Qualitas C.Y.A. runs in both a Windows 95 and 3.1x environments and will be available in early August at a suggested retail price of $39.95 direct through Qualitas or electronically from the web site at http://www.qualitas.com for $25.99. Qualitas also has a corporate licensing program available. Qualitas, Inc. was founded in 1983 and develops, markets and supports Qualitas C.Y.A., Q.E.D. and RAMexam(tm), the Qualitas memory tester. # # # Qualitas is a registered trademark and Qualitas C.Y.A. is a trademark of Qualitas, Inc.
