Paste Zip Code Information effortlessly into your Windows Applications with
new Zip Express.

BOUNTIFUL, UTAH -- Feb 5, 1996 -- Insight Software Solutions, Inc. today
announced the initial release of Zip Express, the ultimate zip code
lookup/auto-paster for Windows. 

"While we recognize that some programs offer built in zip code look ups,
many do not. We wanted to provide an all-in-one product that could be used
with any Windows application to provide both zip code look ups and the
ability to transfer that data to their programs." said Michael D. Jones,
President of Insight Software Solutions, Inc. "With the flexibility
provided by Zip Express, we feel that our goal was accomplished." 

As a stand-alone product, Zip Express allows you to search by zip code,
city, county, state or area code. As you begin to key in your search
criteria, potential matches will be displayed allowing you to watch the
possibilities be narrowed down as you type. Preferences may be chosen on
what data is to be displayed. For example, if you are not interested in
knowing the county or time zone, then simply choose not to view them. The
current time for a given area code or zip code can also be displayed
allowing you to determine whether you can place that call within normal
business hours. Large groups of data can be displayed at once and can
easily be printed out or copied to the clipboard in almost any format you
care to create. 

As a hidden program running in the background, Zip Express allows you to
automatically paste zip code information directly into your Windows
applications via hot keys. Up to 78 hot keys may be assigned commands. For
example, press the CTRL+SHIFT+J keys while in your word processor and
watch a zip code entry box appear. Type in your zip code and suddenly the
city, state and zip code are typed right into your word processor where
the cursor resides. Or set up another hot key to scan the zip code in your
address data base and watch the cursor back up 3 fields and type in the
city, state and county. 

Zip Express allows you to create unlimited zip code information formats to
be used for pasting into programs, copying to the clipboard or for sending
to the printer. You may select such information as the zip code, city,
state, state abbreviation, area code and time zone. Just about any other
text can be included with the format. In addition, when creating formats
to be pasted directly into programs, you can include common keystrokes
such as the tab key or backtab key for navigating among fields. Or include
the Backspace or Del Char keys for deleting old information that will be
replaced. 

Zip Express runs under Windows 3.1 or greater and requires a VGA or better
monitor and 4MB Ram. Initial installation requires approximately 2.3MB of
hard disk space. A 32 bit version is planned for release in April of 1996.

suitability before committing themselves. Potential users can obtain
evaluation copies from our World-Wide-Web Home Page
