Manuals Withheld in Paperless Office Environment

Montreal, Quebec, September 30, 1998

Interstar Technologies Inc.® (Interstar Technologies), a leading developer of advanced fax solutions, is dedicated to delivering superior technological applications to enterprises. In keeping with the nature of its industry and its commitment to creating a paperless office environment, the company will not be including the paperback Client and Administrator manuals in its software package.

It is with concern for the present state of our environment that Interstar Technologies has endorsed an environmentally conscious campaign within its organization. The manufacturing of manuals is a considerable waste of a diminishing resource, therefore it has integrated the manual text within its software CD.

The manual is accessible via the folder labeled user guides. Once this folder has been opened, click either on your operating system or client. The company understands that some clients may prefer to use, or require copies of paper manuals. In such instance, paper manuals will be available upon request at an additional cost of $ 25.00 U.S. per manual. Interstar Technologies will then donate 100% of the proceeds generated from the sale the manuals to the Tree Foundation and towards the purchase and planting of new trees.

Established in 1992, The Tree Foundation® is a not-for-profit charitable organization committed to the planting and care of trees in both urban and rural environments. With the establishment of partnerships among various corporations, the Tree Foundation encourages the sustainability of an invaluable natural resource. Through tree planting campaigns and educational programs designed to generate public awareness towards the fundamental role trees play in our lives, the Tree Foundation is helping to create a better quality of life for future generations.

We are proud to contribute to an organization that is dedicated to achieving a universally beneficial cause. With the purchase of each manual, you are ensured that new forests will be planted to replace those that have been cut down for the manufacturing of paper products.
