Solomon Software Leads Accounting Software Industry; First To Embed FRx
Financial Report Writer

INDUSTRY-STANDARD FINANCIAL REPORT WRITER TO BE PART OF EVERY SOLOMON IV
GENERAL LEDGER

FINDLAY, OHIO (January 15, 1996) - Solomon Software launched an
unprecedented move toward accounting technology standards today by
announcing it will be the first to embed the Standard Edition of FRxr for
Windowsr, the industry-standard advanced financial report writer, in every
General Ledger module of its award-winning Solomon IVr for Windowsr
accounting software. Independent market research indicates a significant
client preference for FRx features and functionality in the
mission-critical task of financial report writing.

"Solomon Software has taken the leadership position once again by being the
first accounting software vendor to embed the premiere FRx financial
report writer in its accounting products," said Gary Harpst, President of
Solomon Software. "By offering FRx as an integral component of Solomon
IV's General Ledger, we're enabling larger enterprises to produce
sophisticated financial reporting views and facilitating the reengineering
process that often accompanies the move to client/server computing," said
Harpst.

"This announcement is consistent with our product design objective, which
is to incorporate `best of breed, industry-standard, non-proprietary'
technologies into our Solomon IV product line to meet the needs of our
customers," said Pat Fitzhenry, vice president of independent developer
programs at Solomon Software. "We intend to lead the accounting software
market in terms of industry-standard `technology adoption', and this newly
announced relationship with FRx Software Corporation is an excellent
example," said Fitzhenry.

The agreement enables Solomon Software to embed the FRx Standard
Edition--at no extra charge--with every Solomon IV General Ledger module.
The Advanced Edition of FRx for Solomon IV, as well as the FRx Remote
Drill-Down Viewer, will be offered as optional add-on products to Solomon
IV clients.

FOLLOWING SOLOMON'S LEAD, FRX WILL SOON BE ADOPTED BY OTHER ACCOUNTING
VENDORS

"Solomon Software is well-recognized for its commitment to industry-
standard technology and open architecture," said Michael Rohan, President
of FRx Software Corporation. "We are very pleased that Solomon Software
has selected FRx as their financial report writer of choice. The
scalability of the FRx Standard and Advanced Editions across all Solomon
IV platforms brings a flexible and comprehensive reporting solution to
companies of all sizes and complexities," said Rohan. Widespread
speculation indicates that Solomon's announcement will spur other
accounting software vendors to adopt a similar approach of embedding FRx
for Windows.
