Wednesday May 18, 9:30 am ET

BARRINGTON, Ill., May 18, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- ``Franchises and chains can now ensure accurate sales data will be sent to their home office.'' said George Kotcher, President and CEO of Barrington Software Incorporated.

The BSI POS Store & Forward acts as a classic ``store and forward'', capturing any text file from any POS terminal (with FTP), computer, network, or FTP server location, immediately forwarding it to another FTP server location and/or e-mail address, while retaining the original information for up to five days. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is a very reliable and a widely used way of transferring information between computers and/or devices that support FTP.

Barrington Software and POS terminal partner, Datasym, will appear together at the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show at McCormick Place in Chicago, May 21-24. Datasym (See http://www.datasym.com/html/DX890series.html) is located in Brantford, Ontario and has approximately 160,000 installed locations in North America.

Barrington Software will preview POS Store & Forward at the NRA show in booth #5779. The software provides the ability to receive duplicate reporting at both the unit and the home office for franchises or chains.
