Effective immediately, InnoVal Systems Solutions, Inc. is 
withdrawing the following products from marketing and 
support.

Post Road Mailer for OS/2
J Street Mailer for Java
Web Willy Watch for OS/2

Anyone may download free copies of these products from our 
online store at http://stores.yahoo.com/innoval. In 
addition, anyone may freely distribute executable copies of 
the software through online software repositories and 
websites. You are encouraged to do so because we will only 
be able to keep them in our online store for a limited time. 
If you distribute the Post Road Mailer you must also 
distribute a serial number to allow a user to activate the 
product. You may use a serial number you received from us in 
the past (for release 3.0), or you may use serial number 
31571728. You may also post serial numbers in newsgroups and 
websites. Online orders, for these specific products, placed 
with us during the last sixty days, have not been processed 
and customers' credit cards have not been charged. These 
orders will be cancelled and customers are free to keep and 
use the downloaded code that they received when they placed 
their order. 

For me, personally, this is a sad day. Our company tried to 
hang in as long as possible with OS/2. OS/2 is still my 
favorite platform and OS/2 customers are the best customers 
our company ever had. I have made many good friends through 
my associations with all of you. You'll still see me popping 
in at OS/2 users group meetings throughout the country when 
my travels coincide with a meeting.

Our company continues to do very well. The consulting side 
of the business has always been strong. The most exciting 
area of business, however, is Iceptur. Iceptur is our new 
Internet filtering software for the Windows 95/98/NT 
platform. Despite the fact that there are over two hundred 
competitors in this market niche, we are experiencing 
phenomenal success. This is partly because of the unique 
technology we developed and partly because there is a strong 
demand for high quality Internet filtering solutions 
(release 2.0 will hit the streets by September 5th). We have 
entered into a number of strategic alliances with several 
companies to market Iceptur and license the underlying 
technology for use in other products.

I need, now, to focus all of InnoVal's resources on Iceptur 
and our consulting business. I tried, during the past year, 
to juggle resources but in doing so was not doing the right 
kind of job for our customers, the OS/2 community at-large, 
InnoVal's employees, or InnoVal's owners. You made the Post 
Road Mailer into the number one email client for OS/2. You 
worked with us on J Street Mailer as we tried to negotiate a 
platform independent course with Java. You have my thanks 
and the thanks of everyone at InnoVal.

We are moving on to bigger things, but not better. OS/2 was 
better and (oh, how I wish) it could have been big.

Thanks again,

Dan Porter, President
InnoVal Systems Solutions, Inc.
