An Intex Solutions White Paper                   January 4, 1992

Making Spreadsheet Users More Productive 
New Innovations in the Spreadsheet Enhancement Market

Intex Solutions, Inc., the leading publisher and reseller of spreadsheet
enhancement products, today introduced its expanded 1993 product line and
Winter/Spring Catalog. Intex provides over fifty ready-to-use solutions
for users of all popular DOS and Windows spreadsheets. Most Intex products
are affordably-priced in the $100-$300 price range.

Intex's products provide solutions for nearly every type of spreadsheet
application, including financial analysis, budgeting, graphics, publishing
and accounting.

As the leading vendor in the industry Intex is regarded as a "one-stop
shop" for all spreadsheet users' needs.

"Intex's products appeal to spreadsheet users who need immediate solutions
to their business applications," according to Jim Wilner, Vice President
of PC Products at Intex.

"For a reasonable price, users get a guaranteed working solution complete
with documentation, technical support, and potential upgrades in the
future."

Demand on the Rise

"The installed base of spreadsheet users - over 20 million strong and
growing - represents the largest single buying market in the PC industry"
according to Wilner. 'The continuing growth of this market, combined with
the introduction of many new products by Intex, has enabled us to enjoy
our greatest success to date." Intex, a privately-held company founded in
1985, now employs over 25 people in its Needham, Massachusetts
headquarters.

Responding to Changing User Needs

The spreadsheet market, despite its size and enormous buying potential, has
proven to be a marketing challenge for many spreadsheet enhancement
companies. One difficulty has been developing enhancements for a
fragmented spreadsheet market, and more recently the migration of many
users from DOS to Windows spreadsheets. Another has been the broadening
feature sets of the most popular spreadsheets, including Lotus 1-2-3,
Quattro Pro and Excel, and the inclusion of certain technology formerly
addressed by enhancement products.

Intex attributes its success to its ability to offer spreadsheet users a
wide variety of mostly application- oriented solutions, and to make these
solutions available across all spreadsheet platforms. For example, Intex
announced today a new version of Spellin! (version 1.1), its popular
spelling checker add-in. Spellin! version 1.1 is the only spelling checker
add-in for 1-2-3, and has been made compatible with the just-released
1-2-3 Release 3.4. Spellin! is available directly from Intex for $125 plus
$5 shipping; existing users may upgrade to version 1.1 for $45 plus $5
shipping. (Please see enclosed press release).

New Spreadsheet Features Give Rise to New Enhancement Applications

The latest round of DOS and Windows spreadsheets are welcomed by Intex, and
are expected to benefit both spreadsheet users and Intex's own plans for
the future. "Intex regards the latest spreadsheet innovations - like
DDE/OLE, multi-dimensional spreadsheets and WYSIWYG publishing - as a
tremendous opportunity for new enhancement products not before possible,"
according to Wilner.

"Already, Intex has received tremendous interest in its 'next generation'
of enhancement products, such as Tax Solver - a WYSIWYG-based tax
preparation program, and Success the first presentation add-in for 1-2-3.
Both enhancements were introduced in the second half of 1992." For more
