QUARTERDECK ANNOUNCES PROGRAM FOR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS TO CREATE
CUSTOM COPIES OF INTERNETSUITE 2.0 FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS

Entire Construction Process Can Be Done Remotely

SAN JOSE, CALIF., APRIL 29, 1996 --- AT INTERNETWORLD -- QUARTERDECK CORP.
(NASDAQ: QDEK) TODAY INTRODUCED ITS QUARTERDECK INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER
PROGRAM, QISP, A LICENSING PROGRAM FOR SMALL, REGIONAL INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS (ISPS) TO CREATE CUSTOM VERSION OF INTERNETSUITE 2 FOR ITS
CUSTOMERS. WITH QISP, SMALL ISPS WILL BE ABLE TO SHIP A QUALITY, EASY TO
INSTALL, CLIENT PACKAGE TO PROVIDE ITS END-USER WITH A PROFESSIONAL
PRODUCT, WHILE ALLOWING THE ISP TO FOCUS ON ISSUES RELATED TO IT'S
BUSINESS.

The program is done entirely through the Internet. The ISP contacts a
special home page to make its order and enter the necessary information
for the configuration disks. The configuration files are created online
and downloaded to the ISP. All the ISP needs to order from Quarterdeck is
a blank box, the manual, and the install disks with InternetSuite 2. The
ISP then copies the configuration files onto the master disk, and the
install program will walk the customer through the installation process.

"There are more than 3,000 ISPs in the U.S. alone, and they need to find
new ways to increase their business and available services," said Suzanne
Dickson, Director of Internet Communications products. "Having a mature
product to offer their customers will make it easier for the smaller ISPs
to compete. Quarterdeck will partner with ISPs to provide other services
in the future as well, such as chat or other interactive opportunities."

"Having a robust package like InternetSuite to offer our customers will
make accessing the Internet much easier for beginners and advanced users
alike," said David Harris, system administrator of StarNet, a regional ISP
in Paris, Texas. "Previously, there wasn't much to offer customers except
shareware. Now we can offer them a complete, powerful product with
documentation and support to back our customers."
