PORTLAND, ORE., MAY 6, 1996

Now Software today announced free monthly updates for Now Utilities 6.0.
Each monthly update will feature a mix of new Now Utilities Plug Ins,
minor enhancements to existing components and bug fixes. The monthly
updates will be available from Now's Web site at www.nowsoft.com. The
first monthly update will be available May 8, 1996.

"The Internet has given us an opportunity to deliver enhancements to Now
Utilities users on a monthly basis. It's a great way for us to continue to
add value to Now Utilities even after the sale," said Henry Carstens,
General Manager of the Now Utilities Division of Now Software, Inc.

The May update includes the following items:

* Bug fixes for problems found by early 6.0 users.

* IP Address - a Now Tabs Plug In that displays a user's IP address and
helps IS administrators identify address conflicts.

* Open By - a Now Shortcuts Plug In that lets you open files with the
application of your choice, e.g., open SimpleText documents in Microsoft
Word.

* Arrange Finder Windows - a Now Shortcuts Plug In that lets you manage and
manipulate open windows in the Finder. Even save sets of open windows to
use in the same configuration later.

* Copy and Move - a Now Shortcuts Plug In that lets you copy, move and
create aliases of selected files and folders. The advantage of this Plug
In is that it lets you select the destination of your copy, move or alias
using Now SuperBoomerang for fast, easy access to all the files on your
hard disk.

* Now Up-to-Date Launcher - three Apple Scripts you can run from Now Tabs
that launch Now Up-to-Date, Now Contact and Now QuickPad.

* OpenDoc Parts Launcher - a Now Tabs Plug In that is an easy way to launch
OpenDoc editors.

unlock files and folders.
