Effective immediately, TeleGrafix assumes responsibility for marketing, sales and future development of the Spinnaker Web Server and Searchlight BBS System. TeleGrafix plans to fully intergrate its award-winning Remote Imaging Protocol (RIPscrip) online vector graphics technology into future versions of the server systems. The combination of Searchlight and TeleGrafix technologies is expected to create new types of customized Internet services, such as on-demand publishing, that feature lightning-fast graphics. "Searchlight Internet servers have a worldwide reputation for quality, power and ease of use. Combining them with our rapid RIPscrip graphics technology will create a powerful platform for community information services, database publishing and the emerging mainframe-to-Web market," said Patrick M. Clawson, president and chief executive officer of TeleGrafix. Both companies are privately held and terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The deal marks a change in corporate direction for Searchlight after more than a decade as a pioneering online software developer. "Searchlight is shifting its corporate focus from the original development of new software technologies to becoming a systems integrator of Internet commerce applications. We've long admired TeleGrafix for its creativity and leadership in Internet graphics technology, and it's the best company to take our server systems to a higher level of development," said Searchlight President Frank LaRosa. Unlike most World Wide Web servers that simply serve up static HTML pages, Spinnaker 3.0 uses "Active Web" technology to build web pages "on the fly" in response to user needs. Spinnaker's dynamic web content creation technology, which includes built-in scripting support for database access and message conferencing, makes it very easy to publish web pages that are customized for each individual user. Spinnaker can be used on Windows 98, 95 and NT platforms. It can open most file or server-based databases including Access, dBase, FoxPro, and Paradox tables; any ODBC data source; and SQL databases including Sybase, MS-SQL, Oracle, Informix, Interbase and IBM DB/2. The Searchlight BBS system is one of the most popular dialup bulletin board systems in the world. A BBS is a self-contained online information service, typically running on one or more personal computers, that communicates using direct-dial telephone lines. Searchlight BBS systems are fully Internet accessible through Telnet connections, and feature easy-to-use interfaces, message conferences, chat systems and file libraries. The Searchlight BBS System is available in both 32-bit Windows 98/95/NT and 16-bit DOS versions. While the number of BBS systems has declined in recent years due to the popularity of the World Wide Web, TeleGrafix estimates that about 40,000 BBS systems are operating around the world. BBS remains a popular means of online access in markets outside of North America, especially in areas where Internet service is expensive. TeleGrafix, founded in 1992, is headquartered in Winchester, Virginia. The company is the developer of RIPscrip online vector graphics technology, which allows the rapid transmission and display of multimedia over any type of computer or telecommunications system. RIPscrip technology has been honored with the Dvorak Award for Telecommunications Excellence, the Internet industry's most prestigious honor. TeleGrafix is the only American software company ever to receive research and development funding from the Japanese Ministry of International Trade & Industry. Searchlight, founded in 1987, is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. A pioneer of online technologies, its products are used worldwide by thousands of small businesses and online information providers.
