AVIAR ANNOUNCES the release of OS/2 CMMS software. 

Pittsburgh, PA -- Aviar announced today that it has 
released the Oz. of Prevention System for the OS/2 and 
WorkSpace on Demand platforms. Oz is the first fully 
voice-activated and speech-driven CMMS (Computerized 
Maintenance Management System) available. This new product 
has all of the capabilities of Aviar's award-winning
DOS CMMS, OOPS! The Ounce of Prevention System., which will
run under OS/2, but in addition, Aviar has tapped into the 
wealth of cutting-edge technology available through the 
OS/2 operating system to make this package "software for 
the next millennium." 

Oz, under development for almost three years, was written 
in Object REXX, uses DB2 and was designed specifically to 
utilize OS/2's built-in speech. "Oz. is 'quality software, 
built with quality tools, for a quality operating system. 
Businesses  all sizes need software which is reliable, 
stable, powerful, flexible convenient and ready for 
real-life mission-critical application. We believe Oz. 
fills that need in the CMMS area." says John J. Urbaniak, 
Ph.D., President and founder of Aviar, Inc. "Since Oz is 
fully customizable and fully internationalizable, it can be 
used anywhere maintenance is performed to help companies, 
large and small, track labor, parts, costs, equipment 
history, downtime and more." 

Oz is featured on Aviar's webpage at 
http://www.ooops-web.com and is being sold as a turnkey 
system directly through Aviar's Sales Department. 

Aviar, Inc. was founded in 1984 by Dr. Urbaniak to provide
top-quality PC software for commercial and industrial 
users. Aviar's OOPS! was first released more than 10 years 
ago and is still in use by companies around the world. 

Aviar is an OS/2 shop and development by the company during 
the past several years has been mainly in the area of 
"voice-activated, speech-driven" systems. In addition to 
Oz. they have also developed several other voice-activated 
systems, including: a database query package, V Trex: 
Information . . . at your COMMAND!; a drug review and 
analysis testing package for use by MROs (Medical Review 
Officers) to track employee drug test recording procedures, 
and a billing software package for Octel-based voicemail 
systems. Aviar also published "Object REXX by Example" (331 
pages), ISBN Number 0-9652329-0-5, a book on the 
object-oriented version of the REXX language.
