SciTech Software Inc. Announces that the Complete Source Code to its Leading
Edge Graphics Driver Technology SciTech SNAP Graphics is for Sale

Chico, California -- (November 16, 2006) -- SciTech Software, Inc. today
announced that it has ceased further development of its SNAP device driver
technology in favor of a new line of web and business logic technologies.
SciTech also announced that it would begin looking for a buyer for the
company's existing core technology, SciTech SNAP. SciTech SNAP 
represents both
a massive code base as well as a major advancement in the field of operating
system independent device driver development. With existing support for 
well in
excess of 240 unique graphics chipsets, HD and AC97 audio codecs, and 
nearly a
dozen API's and operating systems, SciTech is confident that the technology
will attract the attentions of a well qualified buyer. Interested parties
should email Andrew Bloo at the following email address: 
andrewb at scitechsoft dot com

"It is with great sadness that we have come to the end of the road for 
SciTech
as a team" said Andrew Bloo, SciTech's outgoing CEO, adding, " I believe 
very
strongly in the solutions that we have created and am admittedly 
disappointed
by this outcome."

SciTech Snap Graphics is a unique solution that provides an unrivaled 
level of
support and features sets to the embedded industrial market segments. 
Leading
edge companies have also used SciTech SNAP as a means of supporting 
operating
system and hardware, which are no longer supported by their original
developers. In addition to this SciTech SNAP also has an advanced set of
supporting tools, which ensure its compatibility with a wide range of 
hardware
solutions.
