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 UniMaintto 
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.
