FOR MORE INFORMATION Bill Stewart or Zan Oliphant BocaSoft 407/392-7743 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BOCASOFT SHIPS FIRST TWO OS/2 PRODUCTS BOCA RATON, FL - BocaSoft, the recent start-up headed by two former IBM software contractors, shipped its first two OS/2 applications, WipeOut and System Sounds today. BocaSoft WipeOut is a 32 bit screen saver for OS/2 featuring 18 animated displays with synchronized digital audio, password protection and on-line help. And, is the first software application to utilize IBM's Ultimotion Video Support. "Teaming WipeOut with IBM's Ultimotion Video Support lets WipeOut users turn their home videos into screen savers." said Zan Oliphant, BocaSoft co-founder. Displays include: bouncing balls, kaleidoscopes, missile launching spaceships and roaches marching to music, to name only a few. BocaSoft WipeOut requires OS/2 Version 2, a 3.5" floppy disk drive and 2 MB of disk space. Digital audio requires MMPM/2 (included with OS/2 2.1) and an audio card supported by MMPM/2. BocaSoft System Sounds gives your computer a voice by associating audio with over 40 audio attachable system events and keystrokes. The program includes over 1 MB of sound in Microsoft audio format including over 50 popular audio effects from Prosonus, plus keystroke recordings for every key on the keyboard. Linking audio could prove to be a boon to avid game players interested in spicing things up by adding unusual sounds to appropriate keys or to operators of specialized programs benefiting from audio feedback. Users can even record their own sounds in a variety of formats, including: 11 kHz, 22 kHz, 44 kHz, 8 bit, 16 bit, as well as stereo or mono recording. BocaSoft System Sounds requires OS/2 Version 2, a 3.5" floppy disk drive and 1.5 MB of disk space, MMPM/2 (included with OS/2 2.1) and an audio card supported by MMPM/2. Both products include a developer kit to customize applications: WipeOut allows you to write your own screen saver; System Sounds allows you to attach audio to your own applications and command files. "In fact, the new release of Sundial Systems' Relish Time & Information Organizer uses the BocaSoft System Sounds developer interface to add digital audio to Relish events." said Oliphant.
