               damages, awards or compensation other than as provided by this
               Agreement. This at-will relationship supersedes any previous

               Employee his base salary only through the effective date.

               TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY: If the Company terminates Employee's
               employment for Cause, no compensation or payments will be
               provided to Employee following the date when such a termination
               of employment is effective.

Mr. Yasushi Furukawa                      DateSEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.37

      This Agreement is between TCSI Corporation, a Nevada corporation, ("TCSI")
and Arthur H. Wilder ("WILDER").

      RECITALS: WILDER has resigned from his position as Chief Financial
Officer, as of October 6, 2000 (the "Effective Date"). It is the present
intention of the parties that WILDER will continue as an employee of TCSI for a
period of five and one-half (5 1/2) months following the Effective Date, which
period will be considered a leave of absence. To resolve and compromise any
claims WILDER may have against TSCI, the parties agree as follows:

      1. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Effective October 6, 2000 (the "Effective Date"),
WILDER resigns from his position as Chief Financial Officer, Vice President,
Secretary and Treasurer

      2. WILDER shall continue to be employed by TCSI from the Effective Date,
but will be on a leave of absence, until the close of business on March 20, 2001
("Leave of Absence"). During the Leave of Absence, WILDER shall not conduct any
business on behalf of TCSI without the express written permission of TCSI's
Chief Executive Officer.

      3. SALARY AND BENEFITS CONTINUATION. During the Leave of Absence, Wilder
shall receive the salary and benefits set forth in this section. Except as set
forth herein, Wilder shall not be entitled to any other salary payments or
benefits during the Leave of Absence.

            (A) SEVERANCE PAYMENT. TCSI shall continue WILDER's salary during
      the Leave of Absence ("Severance Payment"). Payments shall be regular
      salary payments (based on an annual rate of $173,250 per year), less any
      withholdings required by law. This Severance Payment represents a
      settlement and compromise of any potential claims that WILDER may have
      against TCSI.

            (B) STOCK OPTIONS. WILDER's stock options shall continue to vest and
      be exercisable during his Leave of Absence pursuant to the terms of TCSI's
      1991 Stock Incentive Plan.

            (C) MEDICAL AND DENTAL BENEFITS. WILDER's medical and dental
      coverage shall be continued during the Leave of Absence. Medical and
      dental coverage during this period shall be the same as that provided to
      WILDER as of the Effective Date. WILDER will continue to be responsible
      for any payments he would otherwise be required to make under the TCSI
      medical and dental benefit plans of which WILDER is a participant at the
      time of the Effective Date. After March 20, 2001, TCSI shall provide
      WILDER with COBRA benefits as required by law, with WILDER to pay the
      COBRA premiums.

      3. OFFICE EQUIPMENT. WILDER shall retain possession and ownership rights
to the office equipment listed in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

      4. EMPLOYER'S OBLIGATIONS. TCSI's obligations under this Agreement shall
not commence until the eighth day after WILDER has executed this Agreement.

                                       1
<PAGE>

      5. EMPLOYEE OBLIGATIONS.

            (A)   RETURN OF PROPERTY. WILDER shall promptly return to TCSI all
                  documents and records obtained by WILDER in the course of, or
                  incident to, his employment with TCSI.

            (B)   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. WILDER shall not, for the benefit of
                  any person or entity other than TCSI, disclose or use any
                  proprietary and/or trade secret information regarding TCSI's
                  business operations which WILDER obtained during his
                  employment with TCSI and which is not in the public domain.

            (C)   NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. WILDER specifically agrees that
                  during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1)
                  year thereafter, WILDER shall not, directly or indirectly,
                  either for himself or for any other person, firm, corporation
                  or other legal entity, solicit then employee of TCSI to leave
                  the employment of TCSI.

      6. RELEASE. WILDER and his representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns
do hereby completely release and forever discharge TCSI, and its and their
present and former shareholders, officers, directors, agents, employees,
attorneys, successors, assigns, and affiliates (collectively, "Released
Parties") from all claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations, liabilities,
and causes of action of every kind and character, known or unknown, mature or
unmatured, which WILDER may have now or in the future arising from any act or
omission or condition occurring on or prior to the Effective Date (including,
without limitation, the future effects of such acts, omissions, or conditions),
whether based on tort, contract (express or implied), or any federal, state, or
local law, statute, or regulation. By way of example and not in limitation of
the foregoing, Released Claims shall include any claims arising under Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the
Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act,
the California Labor Code as well as any claims asserting wrongful termination,
fraud, harassment, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and
fair dealing, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress,
negligent or intentional misrepresentation, negligent or intentional
interference with contract or prospective economic advantage, defamation,
invasion of privacy, and claims related to disability. Released Claims shall
also include, but not be limited to, claims for severance pay, bonuses, sick
leave, vacation pay, life or health insurance, or any other fringe benefit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Released Claims shall not include (i) any claims
based on obligations created by or reaffirmed in this Agreement; (ii) any vested
pension rights or any workers' compensation claims (the settlement of which
would require approval by the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board);
and (iii) any claims for short- or long-term disability insurance benefits.

      7. SECTION 1542 WAIVER. The parties understand and agree that the Released
Claims include not only claims presently known to WILDER, but also include all
unknown or unanticipated claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations,
liabilities, and causes of action of every kind and character that would
otherwise come within the scope of the Released Claims as described in Section
6. WILDER understands that he may hereafter discover facts different from

                                       2
<PAGE>

what he now believes to be true, which if known, could have materially affected
this Agreement, but he nevertheless waives any claims or rights based on
different or additional facts. WILDER knowingly and voluntarily waives any and
all rights or benefits that he may now have, or in the future may have, under
the terms of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as
follows:

      A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE,
WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR.

      8. AGE DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS. WILDER understands and agrees that, by
entering into this Agreement, (i) he is waiving any rights or claims he might
have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older
Workers Benefit Protection Act; (ii) he has received consideration for this
release; (iii) he has been advised to consult with an attorney before signing
this Agreement; and (iv) he has been offered the opportunity to evaluate the
terms of this Agreement for not less than twenty-one (21) days prior to his
execution of the Agreement. WILDER may revoke this Agreement (by written notice
to TCSI) for a period of seven (7) days after his execution of the Agreement,
and it shall become enforceable only upon the expiration of this revocation
period without prior revocation by WILDER.

      9. COVENANT NOT TO SUE. WILDER shall not sue or initiate against any
Released Party any compliance review, administrative action, lawsuit or other
proceeding, or participate in the same, individually or as a member of a class,
under any contract (express or implied), or any federal, state, or local law,
statute, or regulation pertaining in any manner to the Released Claims.

      10. CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties understand and agree that this Agreement
and each of its terms, and the negotiations surrounding it, are confidential and
shall not be disclosed by either party to any entity or person, for any reason,
at any time, without the prior written consent of the other party, unless
required by law or necessary to obtain advice of an attorney or an accountant.

      11. NONADMISSION. The parties understand and agree that this is a
compromise settlement of potential claims and that the furnishing of the
consideration for this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed at any time or
for any purpose as an admission of liability by TCSI. The liability for any and
all claims is expressly denied by TCSI.

      12. ARBITRATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all claims that
WILDER may have against TCSI or any other Released Party, or which TCSI may have
against WILDER, in any way related to the subject matter, interpretation,
application, or alleged breach of this Agreement ("Arbitrable Claims") shall be
resolved by arbitration. Arbitration of Arbitrable Claims shall be in accordance
with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the
American Arbitration Association, as amended, and as augmented by this
Agreement. Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be
the exclusive remedy for all Arbitrable Claims. Either party may bring an action
in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an
arbitration award. Otherwise, neither party shall initiate

                                       3
<PAGE>

or prosecute any lawsuit or administrative action in any way related to any
Arbitrable Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may, at its
option, seek injunctive relief pursuant to section 1281.8 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure. The California Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this Section 13. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY
RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRABLE CLAIMS, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO THE MAKING, EXISTENCE,
VALIDITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

      13. INTEGRATION. The parties understand and agree that the preceding
Sections recite the sole consideration for this Agreement; that no
representation or promise has been made by WILDER, TCSI, or any other Released
Party concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement; and that all agreements and understandings between the
parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement are embodied and
expressed in this Agreement. This Agreement shall supersede all prior or
contemporaneous agreements and understandings among WILDER, TCSI, and any other
Released Party, whether written or oral, express or implied, with respect to the
employment, termination, and benefits of WILDER, including without limitation,
any employment-related agreement or benefit plan, except to the extent that the
provisions of any such agreement or plan have been expressly referred to in this
Agreement as having continued effect.

      14. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement may not be amended except by an
instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties. No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, or power under this Agreement preclude any other or further
