AURORA, Ontario (PRWEB) February 18, 2004 --NSC today introduced CrunchIt 4.1, the next major release of its award-winning compression utility. The software delivers new features in an affordable, easy-to-use package for mobile users who want to secure and exchange files with other computers. Fine-tuned for Microsoft Pocket PC and Windows Mobile devices, CrunchIt 4.1 supports more file formats, an enhanced user interface and is the first product to offer self-extracting ZIP files to this platform.

"CrunchIt is the swiss army knife that every Pocket PC user needs," said Jeff Preston, NSC's President & CEO.
