Press Release Summary: An advanced application was launched which allows to share
dataflow of one COM port between several applications or vice versa to join dataflow
of several COM port devices to one application. Such universality is achieved by
means of virtual serial ports technology.



Press Release Body: FabulaTech, a leader in the market for device driver
development, application development and systems internals programming for Microsoft
Windows, Linux and Embedded operating systems today announced the release of Serial
Port Splitter 3.8 Aimed to ease the hardware management, Serial Port Splitter allows
to get access to a device connected to a COM port from several applications
simultaneously.

Serial Port Splitter allows to share dataflow of one COM port between several
applications or vice versa to join dataflow of several COM port devices to one
application. Such program universality is achieved by means of virtual serial ports
technologies. Moreover Serial Port Splitter allows to setup READ/WRITE or READ ONLY
mode for splitted ports and READ/WRITE or WRITE ONLY mode for joined serial ports.
There are 3 main things Serial Port Splitter can do: splitting, sharing, joining:

-Splitting: create virtual COM ports that are the exact copies of specified physical
COM ports.
-Sharing: work with the same COM port without splitting it to several different
virtual COM ports.
-Joining: create virtual COM port and forwards serial data from it to several
physical COM ports.
"As soon as the necessity to work from several applications with a device connected
to COM port arises, you face problems. The point is that the operating system allows
to access COM port to only one application simultaneously", says Alan Rourke,
developer of Serial Port Splitter. "We managed to overcome this limitation of the
operating system having created a powerful application Serial Port Splitter that
allows you to get access to a device connected to a COM port from several
applications simultaneously".
According to analyst firm ShareResearch, a rapidly growing number of GPS devices
users, software developers and IT integrators who initially sought to improve
processes are now seeking more powerful products. Availability so far has been
limited to rather costly low-featured tools. Serial Port Splitter extends the
existing product family connecting two or more applications to one real serial port
with only several clicks.

Additional offerings for discount enable use of OEM license, the latter allows to
integrate Serial Port Splitter functionality into any own application and permits
unlimited redistribution of Serial Port Splitter as an integral part of one\'s own
software without having individual license keys. OEM License grants a royalty free
distribution, so it is no use to pay extra fee per every license of one\'s
application.
