BURLINGTON, MA - Sept. 20, 2000 - eNewsletter Delivers Real-time Free Personalized Results from Sydney Olympic Games RadView(TM) Software Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDVW) and Downright Software LLC today announced the successful completion of the verification of the first-ever Official Olympic Games Electronic Newsletter, powered by LifeMinders, Inc. LifeMinders selected Downright's testing expertise and RadView's award-winning Web application testing and analysis software, WebLoad(TM), to verify the performance and scalability of their service. Downright met LifeMinders' Olympic-sized demands of "swifter, higher, stronger" by constructing a large scale testing lab with over 20 high-end servers generating in excess of 300 transactions per second.

The simulated operational conditions enabled LifeMinders to refine the deployed configurations and operating procedures well in advance of their service launch. The eNewsletter delivers instant daily e-mails in real time with official Olympics information such as event times, race results, game scores and medal standings that registered users have pre-selected at the official Olympics home page (http://www.olympics.com) or at the LifeMinders' site (http://www.olympics.lifeminders.com).
