Pacific Diagnostic Technologies Changes Name to Quintek Technologies, Inc.

     New Name Conveys Primary Driver for the Company's Future Shareholder
                               Value and Growth

    CAMARILLO, Calif., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Diagnostic
Technologies (OTC Bulletin Board: PDTK) today announced that it is changing
its name to Quintek Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: QTEK) and that the
Company's stock will now be traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board
under ticker symbol "QTEK."  Both changes are effective immediately.
    On January 14, 1999, Pacific Diagnostic completed of the acquisition of
Quintek Corporation which resulted in the resignation of Pacific Diagnostic
management.  Quintek Corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific
Diagnostic, and officially took over the management of the Company.  Quintek,
with its proprietary imaging technology, is a world leader in digital
information archiving and is positioning its products and services as the
driver of future shareholder value and growth.
    Thomas W. Sims, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quintek
Technologies, said, "The management team acted to change the name of the
company to Quintek Technologies to better convey the business -- with its
products and services -- that will be the basis for future growth of this
company.  As a privately held company, Quintek became a leading supplier of
chemical-free aperture card imaging equipment and related software solutions
for the archiving of digital information.  Now, with our access to investment
capital in the public markets, we are better able to capitalize on our strong
technology position and product base by further penetrating target markets and
are well positioned to implement and pursue our growth strategy for Quintek in
1999 and beyond.  The name change reflects our dedication to supporting and
growing Quintek's substantial future prospects and enhancing shareholder value
through our efforts."

    Quintek's Products
    Quintek's 4300 product provides for the archiving, distribution and
storage of engineering drawings in a condensed, eye-readable aperture card
format for such industries as construction, electronics, defense, automotive,
machinery, amusement parks, ship building, oil drilling/refineries, utilities,
railroads, government and aerospace, among others.  The Company expects to
effectively compete in the market due to its position as the key stable
back-up technology for currently unstable digital archiving solutions such as
floppy disk, CD-ROM and DVD.  In addition, Quintek's significant cost savings
and lack of chemicals in the archiving process, place the Company with
substantial advantages over competitive products.
