FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAN DIEGO, CA, January 20th, 1998 - Odyssey
Computing announces BizCalc for the Palm PC. BizCalc
is an intuitive, feature-rich programmable business and
financial software that fully emulates the Industry Standard
Hewlett-Packard HP-12C handheld calculator. BizCalc will
be one of the first software applications available for
all Windows platforms, ranging from the desktop PCs,
to the Handheld PCs, and now to the Palm PCs.
Using RPN logic, BizCalc performs
the following calculations as well as others: Loan/Mortgage,

and Markup Functions, Depreciation, Amortization Schedule,
making it the premier financial calculator software.
BizCalc is widely used by business, retail, finance,

PC Magazine recently selected BizCalc as one of the Top
25 Utilities Software Titles in their 1997/98 Annual
Buyers’ Guide.
According to Gary Fong, Director
of Business Development at Odyssey Computing, "The Palm PC is a natural
extension of handheld computing. The openness and flexibility
of the Windows CE operating system has enabled us to
develop robust applications for different handheld PC
form factors. This One Size Fits All approach is a major
advantage of Windows CE and facilitates widespread industry
support and acceptance. We have been able to produce
a powerful version for the Palm PC by converting and
incorporating all the functionality of our existing BizCalc.
By simply tapping the buttons, the Palm PC user interface
lets you use BizCalc as a traditional handheld calculator." Dedicated
to developing leading-edge solutions for mobile professionals,
Odyssey Computing enables handheld PC users to have the
power and flexibility of desktop Windows-based software
in the palm of their hands.
"With support from companies like Odyssey Computing,
the Palm PC will put the full power of Windows into consumers'
hands with a pocket-sized computing device," said
Harel Kodesh, general manager, consumer appliance group
at Microsoft. "We are excited that Odyssey Computing
is supporting the platform with Pocket BizCalc."
