(Toronto, Ontario) - Exis Inc., developers of the popular shareware modem
communications software Telix, today announced the sale and transfer of rights
to the program source code, trademark name, and future sales of the program to
former Exis Technical Support Manager, Jeff Woods, for undisclosed terms.  No
reason was given for the sale, but Woods stated that both parties were in
agreement that this was the best course of action to ensure the long-term
growth and prosperity of the product.  The chief programmer of Telix releases
to-date, Colin Sampaleanu, will remain with Exis, working on other, unrelated
projects.

Woods said Telix will be available from the new company, deltaComm Development,
located in Cary, North Carolina, and support and upgrade pricing will continue
to be offered to previous registered users.  A new minor upgrade to Telix will
also be released before year's end, containing some of the more popular feature
requests.  Some of these features, according to the new owner, are script
'learning' capability, easier learning curve for the powerful SALT scripting
language, and the 'so-called' ANSI music capability. "Other ideas for this
interim release are being discussed as well," said Woods.

"Further development," he added, "will proceed very rapidly toward early
release of anticipated major revisions.  The minor release is mainly to adjust
the public to the new company behind the product, and to offer some of the
features of the major revision a bit early."

  December 10, 1992 -- Notes on Telix 3.20:

     o Telix 3.20 is being released to replace existing copies with
       deltaComm copies, and to introduce some of the most frequently
       requested features internally to Telix.

     o File transfer graphic representation bars have been added to all
       protocols.  They now display a running presentation of exactly
       how much a file transfer has left to go.

     o Transfer estimates are now based on the DCE rather than DTE connect
       speed, making them much more reliable.  Your modem must return
       the DCE speed as the first number after the connect string to
       take advantage of this feature.

     o Added a "script learning" feature to the registered version.

     o Telix can now Swap to EMS/XMS/disk on a DOS Shell as an option.

     o Added a fifth external protocol, and added "Auto-download"
       triggers for all external protocols.  If your external protocols
       have strings that uniquely identify an incoming file, such as
       HS/Link, you may now enjoy the automation of Zmodem on these
       externals as well.

     o Added "Reverse Terminal Emulation" for European users.  RTE
       reverses the order of emulation and translate tables, so that 7
       bit systems that use the left bracket key as a remap key may now
       work properly with ANSI and VT terminals.

     o Telix is forced to correct the version= line in TELIX.CNF if it
       is incorrect.   This should make the check of this variable by
       third party scripts much more reliable.

     o The SALT dial function now returns the proper value when the
       dialing is aborted by the user.

     o Changed the character used by Telix when remote aborts transfers
       to  thus avoiding placing a Control-Z into the capture file.

     o Corrected Zmodem cps rates to reflect more accurate (faster) rates.

     o Added /D command line parameter which lowers RTS on disk writes.
       If you are getting a CRC error when your system writes to disk,
       try using this option.

     o Added a second, simple scripting language for non-programmers,
       called SIMPLE.  SALT remains untouched -- SIMPLE is an English ->
       SALT translator.  Complete docs on SIMPLE are enclosed.

     o Added a BBS-calibre Host mode (doors, multiple message areas, etc)
       formerly known as HOST 5.0 from Host Software Products.  It is
       now an integral part of Telix.

     o File tagging for uploading files -- up to 100 files per transfer
       -- has been added and extended to external protocols as well.
