Frontier Technologies
                       Breaks the Macintosh Barrier

GROSSE ILE, Mich., February 27, 1990- Frontier Technologies takes
unpacking technology to new heights with their resource fork packing
program NuPak IIgs v2.0. This version now, while still allowing the
user to pack files with resource forks, unpacks Macintosh Stuffit
Archives with ease. Never before have IIgs users been able to directly
access Macintosh archives so easily. 

Several new features of NuPak IIgs v2.0 are a preferences menu, the
ability to select packing/unpacking devices from a menu, and splitting
of Stuffit archived files into resource and data forks.

"This new version will forever change the face of communication packing
utilities," said Steven Yuhasz, president of Frontier Technologies.
"It just goes to show that the Macintosh is not as far away as most
people believe. I hope that this will futher close the gap between
the IIgs and the Macintosh line. For years I've seen interesting text
files in Stuffit format and wished I could unpack on the IIgs to view
it. Now all people have that ability. I am proud that Frontier
Technologies is the first to offer Stuffit archive support on the IIgs
in a new and improved version of NuPak IIgs. Frontier Technologies is
committed to giving people the best of both worlds."

 When used in combination with a program called Resource Spy, Icons,
Fonts, and sound files can be extracted from Macintosh resource forks
and utiltizied by such programs as Diced and Sound Studio.

Additional features incorporated into NuPak IIgs v2.0 include greater
disk access speed and compatibility with GS/OS 5.0.2. 

NuPak IIgs still does not support compression routines in the
packing of archives as of yet, but the next revision may support dynamic
LZW and Huffman compression routines as well as compatibility with some
 older Apple II packing/unpacking utilities. 

In the past, files with resource forks could only be archived by
packing a whole disk at once. Now files such as CDEVS
(i.e. Control Panel NDA) and NuPak IIgs can be packed in single files
saving disk space and much frustration. NuPak IIgs is still the only
program that packs files with resource forks  and supports unpacking of 
Macintosh Stuffit archives on the IIgs. In the event of the release of
a Macintosh FST, NuPak IIgs will be able to directly unpack Stuffit archives
from Macintosh Disks.

NuPak IIgs 2.0 supports all of the popular unpacking formats such as
NuFX, BLU, ACU and SIT or Macintosh Stuffit. In addition to that, it will
unpack ShrinkIT archives in both disk and file format.It also supports
unpacking of 5.25 disks as well as the Apple IIgs 3.5 inch standard.
This program is fully compatible with industry standards and programs
currently in use. NuPak IIgs is easy to use since it follows the human 
interface guidlines set by Apple Computer.

NuPak IIgs 2.0 is availiable now on America On-line in the IIgs
Utilities Section and on several bulletin board systems across the
country. Best of all, this program is still in the Shareware Tradition.
So, if the program is found to be unsatisfactory, there is no money
spent. NuPak IIgs can be had for the Shareware fee of $15 after 2 weeks
of use. For more information, contact Frontier Technologies on this
