MULTI-INDEXED NATIONAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY ON CD-ROM

Marblehead, MA. November 30, 1992. ProCD, Inc. announced several
significant new features to the 1993 edition of ProPhone. ProPhone is a
collection of a majority of the nation's white page listings on CD-ROM.
The new features contained within the 1993 edition will enable users to
search across the entire United States by telephone number, address, zip
code, name, or business headings. The 1993 edition will include more than
70 million residential listings and 7.5 million businesses. Most business
listings include an information field that highlights the number of
employees and type of business. An unlimited number of listings can be
output to a printer or database file at no additional charge. Users can
automatically dial highlighted listings or count large ranges of selected
listings. The entire national set is priced at only $449. The price is
considered a major breakthrough as comparable products are priced at more
than $50,000.

Jim Bryant, ProCD's founder and President, commented, "For over 75 years it
has been possible to pick up a phone and call anyone in the United States.
Today, it is now possible to find almost any business or individual
regardless of where they may be listed. Our intention is to enable users
to instantly access national directory information by any field they
choose and to utilize the information the way they want to. Our product
extends light years beyond the services provided by local directory
assistance operators or printed directories."

The 1993 edition will provide users with the ability to search for
directory listings by: 
- entering a telephone number to obtain a name and address; 
- entering an address to see every listing on that particular
  street; 
- entering a zip code to identify every listing; 
- entering a name or a name in combination with any 
  other field; or 
- selecting a directory category by business headings 
  or SIC Codes. 

ProPhone will allow users to: 
- print an unlimited number of mailing labels at no additional
  charge; 
- output an unlimited number of listings to a disk file at no
  additional charge; 
- limit searches to business, residential or both categories; 
- automatically dial listings with a users' Hayes compatible
  modem; and 
- display the number of employees of highlighted businesses.

According to Scott M. Beatty, co-founder of ProCD and Publisher, "The 1993
edition is what people have always looked for in a telephone directory.
Jim and I have over 12 years of combined experience in listening to what
business and individuals are looking for with directory information. By
combining the accepted form of CD-ROM and ProPhone' s open functionality,
we believe we have a product that will benefit anyone who has ever used
telephone directory information." Charles McDermott, ProCD's Vice
President of Sales indicated that "ProPhone' s intuitive interface has
been widely accepted as the new standard for accessing directory
information. Our product is much faster than other alternatives and
requires very little training."

only $129. The 1993 edition will be made available to new users in January
1993. The discs contain listings that have been previously published in
