Mustang Software Announces Sale of Wildcat! BBS Product Lines to
Santronics Software, Inc.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 1998--Furthering its
transition to a leading Internet customer-interaction company, Mustang
Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:MSTGC - news) today announced the sale of the
Wildcat! Interactive Net Server, Wildcat! BBS and Off-Line Xpress BBS
mail reader product lines to Santronics Software, Inc. of Homestead,
Florida.
"The market has dictated where we focus our resources and talents.
Today's announcement is additional evidence of the new direction of
Mustang Software," said Jim Harrer, president and chief executive
officer of Mustang Software. "Over the past year our Internet Message
Center has exploited the emergence of e-mail as a widely accepted
communications medium by creating an e-mail management solution that has
received over a dozen best of show, editor's choice and product of the
year awards and has been purchased by Fortune 500 companies for the
purpose of deploying world-class e-mail customer service systems for
their enterprise." Under the terms of the agreement, Santronics will
immediately assume ownership and responsibility for the sale and support
of the Wildcat! Interactive Net Server, Wildcat! BBS and Off-Line Xpress
BBS mail reader product lines.
"We believe that this is a very positive development for current and
future Wildcat! customers. Santronics has been an active third-party
developer for the Wildcat! product lines since 1991 and has the
experience to support and continue the evolution of these products.
Wildcat! is now Santronics' primary focus -- a focus Wildcat! customers
should welcome," explained Mr. Harrer.
"We are very excited about the future of Wildcat!," said Hector
Santos, president and founder of Santronics Software. "As a developer
and Wildcat! sysop, Santronics is intimately aware of the new market
opportunities for the Wildcat! product line. Santronics plans to focus
all of its energy and attention, while working closely with current
Wildcat! customers, to dominate the BBS market."

Gary,
I just got off the phone with Andrea Santos, and according to her,
things will remain the same for at least the next 90 days. By the looks and
sounds of it, everything will be 'Status Quo' and most if not all of us will
not lose anything. This is a good thing. This will allow MSI to work towards
getting back on their feet and will allow Santronics to offer a Complete
package.
To reply via email, reverse my name.

Yeah, I found out the same thing from Mustang's statement posted when you
log onto the old system and also from talking to the business office. Sounds
like we're not going to be too bad off, especially if Hector can pull off
the many enhancements Mustang wasn't able to provide. I'd absolutely *LOVE*
to see the webserver part of WIN Server be able to handle secure web pages,
among other things.

As I understand it, online.winserver.com is physically moving from
Bakersfield, CA to Homestead, FL -- don't know if this is the actual
computing hardware or just the bytes that make up the site -- and
everything should be running from Santronics' location very soon.
Based on an email I got from Andrea Santos, Santronics is ready to
accept product registrations now for its "new" products. (I bought
WC4.20 and the Utility Suite in May but never sent in the registration
cards, figuring it would just be a waste of postage. Now, though, I
expect to be able to get prompt, useful tech support, so I'm sending
them to Santronics.
