Garbsen, Germany— February 10, 2003— HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading
developer of network and prepress server solutions, announced the release
of HELIOS LanTest for Mac OS X. Used widely throughout the networking

LanTest helps users determine network server volume and local hard disk
performance.
HELIOS LanTest testing includes:
* Create, open, and delete files
* Write/Read throughput test

HELIOS LanTest 3.1 is completely Mac OS X native including support for
Apple’s Mac OS X Aqua interface. LanTest is also fully compatible with OS 9
clients. It can test any AFP-compatible file server or a local hard disk
and can be controlled via AppleScript.
“The success of our LanTest application relies on the fact that it is very
easy to use. Every user can use LanTest immediately with just a few
clicks,” stated Helmut Tschemernjak, president of HELIOS Software GmbH.
