Dreyfus Corp., Mellon Bank Corp.'s $120 billion New York mutual fund  arm, said it is selling a mutual fund through third-party channels to   increase distribution.   
The Dreyfus Technology Growth Fund will now be available through  financial advisers, broker-dealers, and other third parties. The change   took effect April 15, a Dreyfus spokeswoman said.   
  
The portfolio, renamed the Dreyfus Premier Technology Fund, joins 50  other funds in the so-called Premier group. 
The fund has been around since 1997 and has $325 million under  management. 
  
Its strategy is to seek capital appreciation through investment in  growth companies of various sizes. Companies covered by the portfolio   include those making a range of technological products, including computer   software and hardware.     
Investors can still buy the fund without a sales load.
