    FORT MYERS, FL -- Harvey Software announced today it will release a new 
    version of its best selling product, the Computerized Parcel System (CPS), 
    in January 2004. This new version of CPS adds the newest UPS® 
    technology, plus enhancements for FedEx® and US Postal Service® 
    shippers. CPS users can now take advantage of many new UPS services, 
    including sending UPS their daily shipping data over the Internet or by 
    direct dial-up. For all 
    carriers, the new CPS processes package records up to 80% faster. With 
    easier data entry screens, more streamlined shipping steps and a simplified 
    daily close out, every aspect of package processing with CPS is faster, more 
    efficient and easier.
    
    In addition to using the Internet for daily data transmissions, UPS shippers 
    can perform a time-in-transit lookup easily for any package, receive 
    verified ZIP+4 updates for the CPS customer file, provide 
    UPS Quantum View NotifySM 
    ship notification services, use UPS Return and Returns Plus services, and 
    take advantage of UPS Flexible Insurance services. International UPS 
    shippers benefit from expanded commercial invoice options, additional SED 
    capabilities, the ability to record increased foreign currency amounts, 
    using the International UPS Exchange Collect service, or, delivery of an 
    international package only after UPS receives payment.
    
    "In addition to supporting the latest carrier technology, we want to make sure 
    our parcel processing capabilities are the best, bar none for CPS shippers," said Bert F. 
    Hamilton, Harvey Software's President/CEO. "CPS was already fast and the 
    new speed improvements make it that much more remarkable, but that's just the 
    start," 
A new critical file backup utility is now part of every CPS, the SHIP eLERT® e-mail shipment notification can be customized even more, field sizes are increased to help with both carrier requirements and user needs, and daily shipment reports are more useful, with more detailed payment reporting and summary report options.
"The improvements to CPS represent almost a solid 3 years of client research and programming effort. I believe that both current and new CPS users will be very surprised and pleased with the results the all new CPS. I can think of no better way to celebrate 20 years of serving our clients," Bert Hamilton concluded.
    The new version is now 
    shipping and will remain at its current price until February, 2004.  All 
    current clients using CPS and who have an active service agreement will be 
    upgraded the first half of 2004 on a scheduled basis at no additional cost.
