RELEASES PUBLIC BETA OF BLITZ.TCL CGI SCRIPT ACCELERATOR

April 15, 1999, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina - /n
software inc. today announced the first public beta of
Blitz.Tcl, a CGI script accelerator for ISAPI enabled web
servers. Blitz.Tcl provides a solution for the performance
and scalability bottlenecks that often make CGI scripts
written in industry standard Tcl unsuitable for busy sites.

Blitz.Tcl achieves substantial performance gains by
avoiding the need to create a separate process for every
CGI request. Instead, it dispatches requests to previously
created processes, thus avoiding startup delays, and
enabling process reuse, for faster responses and
substantially better utilization of the available computing
power. The performance gains increase exponentially with
the load on the webserver, thus enabling existing servers
to handle far more requests without upgrading the hardware.
This is especially true on Windows NT, where creating a new
process is usually a fairly expensive operation.

Blitz.Tcl is 100% compatible with existing CGI scripts. Web
developers do not need to make any changes to their
existing scripts to take advantage of the performance gains
offered by Blitz.Tcl. Setup is equally simple and
straightforward, and the included online administration
interface makes management easy and painless.
This version of Blitz.Tcl is finely tuned for Windows NT
and Tcl 8.x. The software uses native operating system
facilities wherever possible, resulting in unparalleled
performance gains. A Windows 95/98 version of the software
is also available for testing and development purposes.

A time-limited, trial version of Blitz.Tcl is available on
the company website at http://www.nsoftware.com/. Pricing
information will be announced after the final release,
excpected during 3rd Quarter 1999.
