          Biologic WorkGroup is a second generation groupware product that
          is substantially better than E-mail applications in use today_in
          terms of both proficiency and conceptual design. It enables
          organizations to fundamentally change the way they communicate,
          share information, and manage work processes by integrating the
          features of electronic messaging, project management, workflow
          processing, and personal information management within the
          framework of a multi-user information sharing system.

          PRODUCT INFORMATION


          Product Name          Biologic WorkGroup


          Version               0.90


          Release Date          1/1/96






          SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

          1 Microsoft Windows 3.1 (or higher), Windows for Workgroups
            3.11, Windows NT 3.5, or Windows 95. For optimal performance,
            Windows 95 is highly recommended.

          2 Personal Computer using 80486 or higher microprocessor

          3 16 MB of memory (Biologic WorkGroup will run with as little as
            8 MB of memory, but it will not run optimally.)

          4 Hard disk with at least 10 MB of free space.

          5 For network use, requires a server or a peer-to-peer network
            that supports NetBIOS. Compatible networks include Microsoft
            Windows Advanced Server, Microsoft LAN Manager, Novell
            NetWare, LANtastic.

          6 Video display with Super VGA resolution (800x600) is highly
            recommended, although VGA resolution (640x480) is acceptable.



          INSTALLATION/SHAREWARE VERSION


          Installing The Shareware Version

          If you obtained Biologic WorkGroup/Shareware Version from an
          online service or from a shareware disk vendor, it probably has
          been distributed as a single ZIP file (a ZIP file is a collection
          of files combined as one file and compressed to save space). If
          you obtained a set of disks from Biologic Development Group, the
          files on the disks have not been combined into a ZIP file.


                                                                          6






          Before continuing, you should have successfully unzipped the
          Biologic WorkGroup files into an empty directory on your hard
          disk, or you should  have a set of disks distributed by Biologic
          Development Group.



          Installation Notes For Windows 95 and Windows NT

          If you are using Windows 95 or Windows NT, the installation
          procedure copies files only to the directory you specify during
          the installation process. It does not copy any files to the
          Windows directory, or any other directory. Installing Biologic
          WorkGroup does not alter your network configuration or Windows
          installation in any way.



          Installation Notes For Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups

          Since Biologic WorkGroup is a 32-bit application, it requires a
          set of system files, called Win32s, to run properly in the 16-bit
          environment hosted by Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups. When
          installed, the Win32s files are stored in the directory
          \windows\system\win32s. If you have already installed a 32-bit
          application, then Win32s already exists in this directory; if you
          have not, then the Biologic WorkGroup installation process will
          install these files for you.

          Each PC must have access to the set of Win32s files. If you are
          using shared Windows, then the installation of Biologic WorkGroup
          will install the necessary files in the correct location. If you
          are not using shared Windows, you must install Biologic WorkGroup
          on each PC so that the Windows system files are updated to
          include Win32s.

          Follow these steps:

          1 The first time Biologic WorkGroup is installed, install it in
            the desired directory location on your network server.

          2 For all subsequest installations, executed from each PC
            (including users who are set up at a later date), install it
            in a temporary directory that you can later delete. In this
            way, the Windows configuration on each PC will be updated.


          Note

          You must have at least a 10 MB swap file (virtual memory) when
          using Win32s. If Biologic WorkGroup displays an error message


                                                                          7






          saying that your virtual memory setup is not correct, then check
          to ensure that you have at least 10 MB of virtual memory.



          The Setup Program

          You install Biologic WorkGroup or Biologic WorkGroup/Shareware
          Version by using the setup.exe and setup.bat programs. You can
          install Biologic WorkGroup from floppy disks directly or from a
          directory on your computer's hard disk.


          Where To Install Biologic WorkGroup

          If you are installing Biologic WorkGroup as a standalone program
          to be used only by you, you should install it on your hard disk.
          If Biologic WorkGroup will be used by more than one user, you
          should install it on your network server in a directory location
          that can be accessed by all users.


          Running Setup.exe

          1 Start Windows and make sure to close all open applications.

          2 If you are installing Biologic WorkGroup from disks, insert
            disk 1 in drive A or B.

          3 To run the setup.exe program do one of the following:

               Windows 3.x: Open the File Manager window. From the File
               menu, choose Run.

               Windows 95: From the Windows Start menu, choose Run.

          5 In the command line box, do one of the following:

               If you are installing from disks, type the letter of the
               drive that contains disk 1, followed by a colon and the word
               setup.exe. For example, type a:setup.exe.

               If you are installing from a hard disk, type the path for
               the setup.exe program, and the word setup.exe. For example,
               type c:\temp\setup.exe.

          6 Choose the OK button, and then follow the instructions on the
            screen.





                                                                          8






          Running Setup.bat

          The setup.bat program should be run after running setup.exe.

          1 To run the setup.bat program do one of the following:

               Windows 3.x: Open the File Manager window. From the File
               menu, choose Run.

               Windows 95: From the Windows Start menu, choose Run.

          2 In the command line box type the path for the WorkGroup
            program files and the word setup.bat. For example, type
            c:\wg\setup.bat.

          3 Choose the OK button, and then follow the instructions on the
            screen.

                                                                          9

          \wg\doc.



          THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT


          What Is Shareware?

          Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors
          through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and by
          copies being passed among friends. It is commercial software that
          you are allowed to try before you pay for it. This makes
          shareware the ultimate in money back guarantees_if you don't like
          the product, you don't pay for it.

          Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There
          is good and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail
          software. The primary difference between shareware and retail
          software is that with shareware you know if it's good or bad
          before you pay for it.

          You benefit because you get to use the software to determine
          whether it meets your needs, before you pay for it. Developers
          benefit because they are able to get their products into your
          hands without the expenses it takes to launch a traditional
          retail software product.

          The shareware system and the continued availability of quality
          shareware products depend on your willingness to register and pay
          for the shareware you use. It is the registration fees you pay
          which allow us to support and continue to develop our products.
          Please show your support for shareware by registering those
          programs you actually use and by passing them on to others.
          Shareware is kept alive by your support.

          Note

          If the title bar does not say _Biologic WorkGroup/Shareware
          Version_ then you are using the retail version. The retail
          version is not freeware or shareware.



          Limitations Of The Shareware Version

          The shareware version of Biologic WorkGroup has no feature
          limitations; the shareware version and the retail version are the
          same product. The only limitation is that the shareware version
          supports five users only. If your workgroup has five or less
          users, you may use the shareware version indefinitely (but please
          tell your friends and business associates about it!). If your
          workgroup is larger than five users, or if you need technical
          support, you can purchase the retail version of Biologic
          WorkGroup which supports additional users and provides 90 days of
          no-charge support. For information on ordering see the section
          _Ordering Biologic WorkGroup_. Ordering the retail version also
          provides other benefits. See the section _Benefits Of Ordering
          The Retail Version_.

          Technical support cannot be provided to users of the shareware
          version. If you need technical support, please consider ordering
          the retail version of Biologic WorkGroup.

          EVALUATING BIOLOGIC WORKGROUP IS EASY

          Although Biologic WorkGroup is a powerful application, evaluating
          it is easy:


                                                                         11






          1 Installation is automatically accomplished using a setup
            program. All Biologic WorkGroup files are copied to a single
            directory. At the end of the evaluation period, Biologic
            WorkGroup can be removed from your network with one command:
            del *.*. BIOLOGIC WORKGROUP DOES NOT MODIFY YOUR NETWORK
            CONFIGURATION IN ANY WAY.

          2 If you wish, Biologic WorkGroup can be evaluated by a single
            user on a standalone PC.

          3 Administrative requirements simply involve setting up user
            names and selecting a few administrator options.

          4 Biologic WorkGroup can be tested by one user or a small number
            of users within your workgroup. Additional users can be added
            with little effort.

          5 Technical support is available by Phone, Fax, BBS, and
            CompuServe (for Evaluation Kit users).

          6 No dedicated hardware or administrative resources are
            required.

          7 Biologic WorkGroup can be set up on any existing file server
            or peer-to-peer network, making it ideal for large companies
            and small offices.



          THE EVALUATION KIT


          What Is The Evaluation Kit?

          The Evaluation Kit enables us to provide a higher level of
          service to organizations that are evaluating Biologic WorkGroup.
          For a small fee, you will receive the latest version of Biologic
          WorkGroup/Shareware Version (which supports up to 5 users) and 90
          days of technical support via phone, fax, or BBS. Technical
          support cannot be provided to organizations that do not purchase
          the Evaluation Kit.

          It is not necessary to obtain the Evaluation Kit in order to
          completely evaluate Biologic WorkGroup. The shareware version,
          which is distributed without charge on BBS systems, is a fully
          functioning program that supports up to 5 users. It also includes
          comprehensive user documentation.






                                                                         12

          for an annual support contract, please contact our technical
          support group.

          Plan           support incident as listed
                         below:

                         $25 per minor incident

                         $75 per major incident




          Annual Support Support is provided for an
          Contract       annual fee. The fee amount
                         and the maximum number of

                         determined as follows:

                         Annual Fee =  $50 x (Number

                         Maximum Number of Incidents
                         = 3 x (Number of licensed
                         users)













                                                                         16







          What Is An Incident?

          An incident is a single support issue and the reasonable effort
          needed to resolve it. An incident may require multiple telephone
          calls, exchanging of faxes or E-mail messages, and offline
          research. An incident is considered to be minor if the time
          required to resolve it_either on the phone or offline_is less
          then 15 minutes. A product bug is not considered to be a fee-
          based incident.

          INDEPENDENT MARKETERS PROGRAM

          What Is The Independent Marketers Program?

          We have created the Independent Marketers Program to quickly
          build a team of people to help us market our software.

          Independent Marketers are not just salespeople, they are
          evangelists who help us increase market awareness for our
          product. Independent Marketers receive compensation based on
          product sales, and on their success at the distribution and
          marketing of our software as well. As an independent sales team,
          Independent Marketers are free to market our product in whatever
          manner they choose, and devote as much or as little time at that
          activity as they wish.

          The incentive plan, detailed in the next section, provides for a
          sales commission to be paid to an Independent Marketer for each
          sale made, AND, for all sales derived from software originally
          distributed by them. This is not a pyramid scheme. We need help
          selling our product. And we're willing to pay for it. We expect
          that some of our Independent Marketers will receive significant
          compensation.

          If you are interested in joining the Independent Marketers
          Program, call us for more information.



          Details

          1 Each Independent Marketer receives a copy of Biologic
            WorkGroup/Shareware Version which has been branded with the
            Independent Marketer's unique identification number. This
            identification number will be displayed within the program,
            and can be included in any sales literature, etc.

          2 The Independent Marketer can distribute and promote the
            product in any way he or she chooses.

          3 When a customer orders Biologic WorkGroup directly from us,
            the customer will be asked for the identification number which


                                                                         19






            uniquely identifies the Independent Marketer who originally
            distributed the software.

          4 Independent Marketers will be paid a commission based on a
            percentage of all sales in which a customer has presented us
            an identification number.
