For all users of SofTouch Systems OS/2 products! 

I am excited to have the opportunity to continue development 
and to have responsibility for sales and support of two outstanding 
OS/2 applications! As many of you may or may not know by now, I 
entered into an agreement with SofTouch Systems, Inc that, effective 
1 August, 1999, transferred all rights to the OS/2 programs, 
FileStar/2 and UniMaint to myself.  Also included in the agreement 
was File Secure and GT PowerPak. I intend to actively market 
FileStar/2 and UniMaint doing business as Sierra HyperStar Software 
(SHS). This is a company founded by myself when I first introduced 
FileStar/2 as shareware in 1994. 

With this new ownership comes the responsibility for support 
of the thousands of users of the programs. This initially will be 
the primary objective and most support will be accomplished through 
this web site. 

Support of the products on the OS2AVEN forum of CIS will be terminated. 
As soon as conditions permit, equal emphasis will be placed on the 
upgrading of FileStar/2 and UniMaint. Both programs are fairly solid 
and problem free at this time. You can expect an upgrade to FileStar/2 
first since that effort has been underway for some time by myself. 
It will be impossible to ever get to know UniMaint like Larry Martin 
does but I am now obligated to try. I will be negotiating with 
Larry to provide interim support for UniMaint. I will be actively 
seeking one or more additional programmers to assist in further 
development of the products. Interested programmers should contact 
me via email. 

I intend to keep the programs FileStar/2 and UniMaint available for 
sale as commercial products, available through this site as soon as 
the necessary arrangements are made. Other ways to purchase the programs 
are under consideration. 

I ask that all of you give SHS the opportunity to show that we can 
support and improve the products. Our goal will be to continue 
to make users happy with both programs and keep them viable in the 
shrinking OS/2 marketplace. Your continued support is vital in many 
regards. I will keep you updated on our progress. Stay tuned to 
this web site. 

I want publicly thank Larry Martin, author of UniMaint for his part 
in making this possible. 

You are invited to browse the rest of this site. It is far from being 
ready for business and several of the links have been intentionally 
broken where that area is under construction. The forms do not work so 
don't bother filling out any. 

The web site url is:
