ROCK HILL, SC, November 15, 1998 - For Immediate Release

CRT Systems Announces "Spectrum Enterprise Edition", a Client/Server, Fortune 1,000 Sized Version of its Imaging/Document Processing Software.

CRT Systems Inc. today announces a new version of its Spectrum Imaging System. "Spectrum Enterprise" supports robust enterprise databases such as Microsoft SQL Server® and Oracle®. Included with the basic software are the "High Performance Batch Processing Option" with OCR Separation/Sorting, and a four-client license.

• Through the support of high-end Database Servers, the Spectrum Imaging System moves into the Fortune 1,000 size companies’ corporate document processing and storage arena.

• "Spectrum Enterprise" is recommended for use with networks sharing images and data where more than one million images are stored, or more than 10 users concurrently share the same data.

• Spectrum Enterprise is scheduled for general release early in the First Quarter, 1999.

• Spectrum was originally developed for use with CRT Systems’ V/BOSS Veterinary Medical Application for the Indexing, Storage, Viewing and Annotation of images such as Radiology, MRI, ECG, Ultrasound, Digital images and other associated objects creating a "virtual patient folder" required for the typical medical practice. In addition, transmission capabilities were implemented allowing Spectrum to be used as a Telemedicine Vehicle. Reengineered Spectrum was to be used with a wide array of application programs.

• Due to the recent advances in price/performance ratios of computer hardware, especially on-line storage, the document processing industry is one of the quickest growing segments of the computer business. Spectrum fulfills a unique niche by providing the "virtual folder" capability. In addition, because Spectrum is generally used with a "front end" application, very specific vertical solutions are possible.

• Spectrum provides a "Database of Objects" for a variety of front-end interface program types, allowing third party software developers an extremely rapid development environment for implementation of document and image processing capabilities.

Applying the litmus test, Windows® applications that can call the Windows® Calculator, will typically be interfaced in less than one hour.

C, C++, Visual Basic®, Database Applications such as Access®, COBOL as well as CRT Systems "Point of View" development environment applications are quickly integrated with Spectrum.

When used with a compatible terminal emulation program, "Screen Scraping" techniques allow "legacy" mainframe and UNIX application to easily interface to Spectrum. Generally, NO changes are required to the legacy application code.

• Spectrum associates a "Virtual Folder" of objects to a primary key passed by a calling application or Front-end. The following objects are supported for storage and retrieval when created or acquired using Spectrum’s automatic indexing and naming facility:

• Spectrum provides an image viewer/desktop plus Thumbnails view.

• Using Cut, Copy, and Paste, you can communicate with other Windows Applications.

• Annotation layers such as Highlight, Arrows, Circle, Box, Sticky Note, and Voice may be applied to underlying digital images.
