Outside View 7.3 Press Release

Scottsdale, AZ September 7, 2005- Crystal Point, a leading provider of host-access and legacy renewal software, announces a new release of their flagship desktop terminal emulation product OutsideView.

"We actually asked many corporations what areas of improvements they would like to see in Outside View and how can we help them become more successful with their jobs" says Chris Stephens, founder and CEO of Crystal Point. "This release addresses the four main areas identified by our industry - security, productivity, the importance of adhering to industry standards, and expanding hardware support."

"In our continued interest in supporting security we have added secure FTP in addition to SSL encryption. Productivity is always an issue for developers because they want to maximize their important time. Now whether they are logged in to an OSS or Guardian account they can transparently access files and utilities from either environment." OutsideView 7.3 also contains other enhancements aimed expressly at speeding text selection and pasting tasks. "Corporations in the IT environment really want vendors to support industry standards. Respecting and believing in that effort we have included Windows installer with SMS." This gives administrators the latest technology and the ability to distribute software via SMS. Crystal Point continues to be a multi-host terminal emulation host vendor and knowing that many of our clients have both IBM and NonStop systems we have enhanced our IBM 3270 support by offering the 3270 E Mode. Supporting 6530, 5250, VT, and both 3270 and Enhanced 3270 mode makes OutsideView, more than ever, the obvious choice for a multiple host terminal emulation solution."
