CompuServe Selects Microsystems' Cyber Patrol for its 4.3 Million Users

Parental Control Tool Puts the Power to Restrict Access to Content in the
Hands of the Individual

FRAMINGHAM, MASS., FEBRUARY 13, 1996 -- Microsystems Software announced
today that its Internet filtering software -- CYBER PATROL -- has been
selected by CompuServe as its parental control tool. Cyber Patrol places
the power to restrict access to content in the hands of the individual.
Cyber Patrol allows parents to manage their children's Internet access,
limit the total time spent on-line, and block access to Internet sites
they deem inappropriate.

"We are excited about working with CompuServe to provide a global solution
to the challenge of parental controls and content review," said NIGEL
SPICER, president and chief operating officer for Microsystems Software.
"We developed Cyber Patrol with the belief that responsibility for content
lies with the individual user, and that parents need to be actively
involved in shaping the online experience for their children. It is clear
that parents worldwide want a flexible solution, and we are pleased that
in cooperation with CompuServe we are able to provide Cyber Patrol to
them."

"Cyber Patrol, unlike government censorship, actually solves the problem
for parents who want to be sure that their children have a positive
experience on the 'net. Parents get a solution that helps them choose what
is seen, heard or accessed in their home. Cyber Patrol provides freedom of
listening to the family and allows parents to make choices that reflect
their own individual values and standards."

CompuServe is providing Cyber Patrol free-of-charge for one year (a $70 .00
value) to its 4.3 million users in 147 countries worldwide. Cyber Patrol
can be downloaded from the Parental Controls Forum on CompuServe (GO
CONTROLS) and CompuServe's World Wide Web sites, including the new SPRYNET
service (www.compuserve.com and www.sprynet.com).
