SUREFIND ONLINE DATA BACK-UP AND RECOVERY NOW AVAILABLE ON COMPUSERVE
INFORMATION SERVICE

Product Makes Powerful Data Back-up Easy for Anyone

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 9, 1996 -- CompuServe, the world's leading Internet
access provider and most extensive online information service, today
announced the availability of Surefind Online, a new service that provides
CompuServe users with online data back-up and recovery. CompuServe
recently signed an exclusive marketing agreement with Surefind to act as
the online marketer of the Surefind service.

Surefind protects CompuServe users from common data problems, including
overwriting a data file, a hard disk crash or loss of data due to a power
failure. By using the Surefind service, home-based or corporate computer
users can protect themselves from losing important business, personal or
legal documents, all of which could lead to costly data replacement and
loss of business.

How Surefind Online Works

Users can download the Surefind software through CompuServe (GO BACKUP) or
by calling Surefind at 1-800-787-0009. With Surefind, users can schedule
their PCs to dial the Surefind center and automatically back-up their PC
data files to Surefind electronic vaults via the user's PC modem. Data is
encrypted and password-protected prior to transmission to ensure privacy
and security, and is available for around-the-clock recovery within
minutes.

Surefind stores the user's data in secure locations on optical platters.
The Surefind service allows users to perform regularly scheduled back-ups
without having to purchase tape drives, use fragile diskettes or remember
to perform any manual back-up tasks.

Pricing and Availability

The Surefind service is available now in the United States and Canada and
is compatible with most of today's operating systems. International access
to Surefind and support for Windows 95 and Windows NT will be available
later this month.

With Surefind software, users receive up to 100 megabytes of initial data
storage, one free month of basic service (weekly updates of five megabytes
each) and two free data recoveries (of up to 20 megabytes each) within the
first month's service, all for a one-time fee of $19.95. Afterward, the
basic monthly service is $9.95 for weekly updates of five megabytes each
with a 50 cent fee for each additional megabyte. Users can recover
directories, files or even file versions for a 50 cent fee for each
megabyte after a $5.00 minimum.

In addition, Surefind also offers users a three-day-a-week preferred'
service for $24.95 and a seven-day-a-week premium' service for $54.95.

Interested users can call 1-800-787-0009 or CompuServe users can access the
