Mustang Software, Inc. Launches "Custom Connector" For Wildcat! 5

Connector Is A "First"; Enables Business To Market Online Services And
Products Following AOL Model Via Logo-Branded Signup Disks

Bakersfield, CA - April 23, 1996: Mustang Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSTG)
announced the availability of a new Wildcat! Custom Connector interface
which provides full graphical access to email, chat, messaging and file
areas offered on the award winning Wildcat! 5 online system. Now, the
interactive functionality found in Wildcat! 5's freely distributable
Wildcat! Navigator graphic access communications program has been packaged
in a custom application that allows modem users targeted access to a
specific online system or service. For the first time, online system
developers can have a unique logo-branded logon tool to market their
online system like America's largest online service, America Online&#174 .
To create the Wildcat! Custom Connector, system developers provide Mustang
Software with full-color art, system name, and direct dial access/signup
number or Internet address; in return, Mustang presses a gold master CD
suitable for mass distribution to interested modem users. Prices for the
Wildcat! Custom Connector are based on system size and start at $500.

"The business development and marketing implications in vertical markets
such as small business, government agencies and non-profit organizations
is tremendous," states Jim Harrer, President and CEO of Mustang Software.
"Getting a customized Navigator into a member's hands is the first step to
successfully marketing an online system. The Wildcat! Custom Connector is
the vehicle to introduce millions of people to online services, the
Internet, Intranet, and online communities."

The Wildcat! Custom Connector allows virtually any business that has direct
interaction with customers in their community a very economical and quick
way for customers to get online. "The bottom line is," continued Harrer,
"that if a customer is one of the millions that have a computer, modem and
Windows, they will get online." And the opportunity for businesses to
simply hand out a disk pack or CD-ROM for customer use opens up a new
arena for marketing of a business.

For example, the Wildcat! Custom Connector can be handed out by real estate
agents to potential buyers who, in turn, can log onto an online site with
the broker's listings. Brokers can link Wildcat! 5 to other related
material on the web, including local schools and newspapers, or to other
relevant material such as regional housing prices or even financing
resources. Potential customers can log on, view listings, communicate with
their agent and others in the area by email.

Schools can use the Wildcat! Custom Connector to bring parents, students,
and teachers together with an online meeting point - an online community -
by distributing disks to parents for communication with teachers, viewing
curriculum, and to build a constant stream of interaction with school
board members, school staff, and other parents or PTA members.

For companies with existing Web sites, the Wildcat! Custom Connector and
Wildcat! 5 allow companies to deliver Web information by dialup access to
the millions that have no Internet access. It also provides a convenient
way for companies to set up Intranets (private internal networks inside
companies) for employees to utilize Web information and resources.

Businesses and individuals interested in seeing the Wildcat! Custom
Connector can DOWNLOAD THE CUSTOM CONNECTOR CREATOR from Mustang Software.
Design wizards included in the program help potential users create the
graphical look of the Connector, with selections for entering customized
access information, help screen instructions, and icon selection. After
entering all information, designers can then preview the sample Wildcat!
Custom Connector. After the design process is complete, the Creator then
produces a set of files that are returned to Mustang to create a gold
CD-ROM suitable for duplication. Those interested in the Wildcat! Custom
Connector can download the Custom Connector Creator from Mustang Software
at www.mustang.com (Web), bbs.mustang.com (telnet), or 805/873-2400
