TSR Announces New Language Support for Y2K Renovation Services.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 1998--TSR, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSRI), a supplier of ITAA-certified Year 2000 analysis and renovation services, today announced the general availability of Catch/21(TM) automated Y2K renovation services for IBM Assembly Language and PL/I, as well as CA-Ideal(R) and CA-ADS(R), two popular fourth generation languages. This complements TSR's ongoing Catch/21(TM) support for COBOL applications. Catch/21(TM) is a highly automated process for making applications Year 2000 compliant.

According to Bill Connor, TSR's Chief Software Architect, "support for these additional third and fourth generation languages significantly broadens the marketplace for our services.

"While the automated front-end scanning and tail-end conversion software are specific to each language, a common graphical user interface and date dictionary is utilized across all supported languages. This enables our COBOL analysts to easily transition to other languages, with significant time savings for renovation of multi-language applications. In fact, during beta testing, we experienced high levels of productivity in analyzing both CA-Ideal(R) and CA-ADS(R) code using Catch/21(TM) Analysts with absolutely no prior experience in either of these languages.

"By providing a highly-automated means for analyzing and fixing IBM Assembly Language programs, Catch/21(TM) now offers an efficient solution for fixing older legacy applications for which resident expertise, and even original source code, may be missing. Our PL/I solution offers clients a practical, cost-effective means for attaining Y2K compliance without having to find and recruit experienced PL/I programmers, a rare commodity in today's marketplace.

"As with COBOL, renovation of all Catch/21(TM)-supported languages is offered for a fixed price per line-of-code. Software licensing arrangements can also be negotiated, on a per workstation basis, for firms with in-house conversion capabilities."
