SOFTWARE PUBLISHING CORPORATION SHIPS ASAP FOR WINDOWS

Trial Edition Available Online for Fast, Effective Results for Reports and
Presentations

SANTA CLARA, Calif., September 5, 1995 - Software Publishing Corporation
today announced the shipping of ASAP, an intuitive software program that
makes generating professional reports and presentations easy for all
levels of computer users. A fully-functional trial edition of ASAP will be
available for users to test drive for 14 days free of charge. Unlike
traditional presentation graphics packages that could cost hundreds of
dollars, ASAP will have an estimated street price of $99.

Ideal for professional, home and SOHO users, whether experienced or novice,
ASAP offers unprecedented ease in creating presentations, reports and
handouts. The key to ASAP's ease-of-use is a patent-pending, next
generation technology called Intelligent Formatting. Intelligent
Formatting automatically designs the layout of presentations and reports
to ensure effective results. With a single mouse click, it automatically
arranges and scales page titles, bullet points, tables, charts, logos,
pictures and sophisticated built-in graphics on a variety of backgrounds,
ensuring each presentation is persuasive and professional.

"ASAP is unlike any traditional presentation graphics product on the
market," said Irfan Salim, president and chief executive officer of
Software Publishing Corporation. "By combining ASAP's streamlined
interface with its revolutionary Intelligent Formatting technology, the
program delivers quick, high quality results effortlessly."
