FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

In today's personal computer marketplace, performance claims are
abundant. Very often, however, there is little practical evidence to back
up these claims. The advent of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) has
changed the way the personal computer industry must look at computer
performance. IBM OS/2 Version 2.0, the industry's most advanced
operating system, requires considerable computer resources to take
advantage of its power. Individuals and companies alike need a tool to
help them tradeoff performance versus price. Today, Synetik Systems
announces the July 28, 1992 availability of BenchTech for OS/2.

BenchTech for OS/2 is a powerful performance measurement tool,
containing a suite of 32 bit benchmarks designed specifically for OS/2
Version 2.0 and beyond. OS/2 2.0 performance can vary greatly between
one computer design and another. Even though all systems that run
OS/2 2.0 are based on the Intel 80386 architecture, the observed
performance is also dependant on the cache design (if the system uses a
cache), the number of wait states required, the video system, the disk
drive and many other factors.

BenchTech for OS/2 allows you to measure integer and floating math
performance, data movement and memory access. There are three
separate disk tests, and you control whether the program uses the OS/2
system disk cache. The program allows you to determine relative video
performance using any of eight video tests. Three application oriented
tests are included, or you can specify your own OS/2, DOS, or WINOS2
tests. Two higher level benchmark tests are included for comparing
systems. Twenty-five benchmark tests are included in all.

BenchTech for OS/2 is powerful, but it is also easy to use. A notebook
style user interface makes it easy to access tests and their results.
BenchTech for OS/2 is a full Presentation Manager program, including
contextual, hypertext on-line help. Select what types of result
information you want, and then log it to a file or print it.

The program provides an extensive macro facility, based on IBM Rexx,
to encapsulate a series of tests into a pre-defined macro. Example
macros are provided to demonstrate the power and ease of use of this
facility.

BenchTech for OS/2 attempts to reduce the problem from the
theoretical realm of "This system SHOULD perform better because of
..." to the more practical realm of "This system takes 42 seconds to
complete the BenchTech Excel test, and this system takes 48 seconds...."

Synetik Systems provides one year of toll free technical support for
registered users. BenchTech for OS/2 is available after July 28, 1992,
directly from Synetik Systems. The suggested retail price is $119.95, but
is available for a limited time for just $79.95. Customers may get more
information or place telephone orders by calling (800) 598-1718 in the
continental United States, (303) 241-1718 outside the continental United
States, or FAX (303) 243-4516.
