For Immediate Release

PreceptorTools Public Beta Released
The New Way to Develop Courseware - In Minutes!

Edinburgh, Scotland, 25th September, 2003

Messimer Computing, Inc. and Runtime Revolution Ltd. today jointly 
announced the release of the PreceptorTools public beta. With the 
PreceptorTools courseware builder, teachers, trainers and students can 
develop training modules, instructional aids, and presentations for 
every major platform in minutes, without any programming! Beginners can 
get started right away, while experienced Revolution developers can use 
Revolution's rich feature set to customize PreceptorTools for their own 
needs.

Steve Messimer, President of Messimer Computing, said, "With its 
easy-to use ready-made lessons, PreceptorTools is perfect for busy 
teachers. The prebuilt navigation aids, quizzes, and exams let teachers 
focus on delivering educational solutions, without worrying about how 
to code them." Messimer added, "I chose Revolution because of its 
unrivaled ease of use and power. PreceptorTools taps that power for 
teachers and courseware developers to use."

Kevin Miller, CEO of Runtime Revolution, said, "We're delighted 
Messimer Computing chose Revolution to develop PreceptorTools. In 
combination with Revolution's user-centric approach to development, 
PreceptorTools makes it even easier for courseware developers to create 
great computer-based training solutions."

I am currently working to update my website with reference material 
regarding PreceptorTools.  It will probably take another week or two to 
finish that up as there is a lot to say. Please take a moment and stop 
by the site.
