Menlo Park, California -- June 16, 1998 - Responding to user demand,
BeatWare, Inc. released Get-It(tm), its FTP utility for the BeOS, months

utility compatible with the Intel version of the BeOS," said Karen Cassel,
Vice President of Sales and Marketing for BeatWare. "BeatWare's mission is
to develop the tools essential to our customers' productivity, so we
re-ordered our product priorities, improved the user interface, added a
number of useful features, changed the name and released Get-It(tm) all in
a matter of a few weeks."

rename and delete files and directories on both their own computers and
remote,networked computers. Other time-saving features of Get-It(tm)
include support for multiple FTP sessions, multiple file transfers,
