     Finansa Ltd. (London, England) was honored at the Software Publishers
Association Third Annual European Conference (Cannes, June) as its
NetWare(R) MHS(TM)-compatible Windows(TM) e-mail package was named best
new UK product. This new accolade adds to an expanding portfolio of UK
press technical and Gold awards received since its launch in January 1992;
it is only just now becoming available in the US. A Finansa WinMail(TM)
E-Mail five-user license is available for $595 (all prices suggested US
resale at participating resellers; inquiries invited), ten-user for $995,
50- user for $2,995.

     "To win such a major prize in the face of fierce competition is a
great achievement," notes Finansa Managing Director Gavin Whichello. "It
helps justify WinMail's claim to be the first electronic mail software to
transform mail into a truly usable and cost effective desktop service. I
might add that the marketplace seems to agree: in the space of three
months, we established more than 1,000 user sites across Europe, set up
distribution in the UK, France, Benelux, Scandanavia, Germany and Italy,
and received more than 100 product enquiries a day. With this award, I
believe Finansa has achieved the undisputed title of leading dedicated
mail company in Europe."  

     The annual European Software Awards pay tribute to software products
currently marketed in Europe. 96 companies entered more than 180 products
in the award competition's various categories; in the main categories,
software had to be available in at least two languages - one being
English, French or German - and must have shipped between January 1, 1991
and March 31, 1992. 

     WinMail is the first E-mail software architected specifically for the
Windows environment to run on Novell networks. Openness, easy
installation, extensive connectivity, seamless integration with office
applications, mail APIs and intelligent mail filtering combine to make it
the most intuitive, flexible and intelligent electronic mail package
currently available. 

     Among the hallmark features of Finansa WinMail: automatic rule- based
distribution and handling of messages (without a rules language);
shareable mail folders; flexible personal and public address books; and
more. 

     Within Finansa WinMail, a powerful Windows DLL (Dynamic Link Library)
affords easy integration of its e-mail and messaging with many Windows
applications.

     Included macros can hot-link Finansa WinMail with Microsoft Excel(R),
Word For Windows(R) and Ami(R) Professional; macros for WordPerfect(R) for
Windows, 123(R)/W and other applications will be available, at no charge,
through Finansa phone, fax and e-mail (HELP @ FINANSA) customer support.
Finansa also offers high- and low-level APIs for in VisualBasic, C, C++ or
Pascal programmers. 

     Finansa WinMail avails itself fully of the Windows user interface.
Users can drag-and-drop messages among folders; cut and paste from the
clipboard; print to any available Windows printer; view or launch
attachments; and more.

     A public address book and public distribution lists are available to
all WinMail users; each user also has a personal address book and
distribution lists. These support MHS, fax, Telex and X.400 addresses,
plus any other three an administrator wishes to define for a system. 

     Finansa WinMail also supports, from within Windows, full MHS user
administration and multiple-WinMail-site address synchronization.

     Finansa Limited is a UK headquartered software company dedicated to
developing and marketing a strategic range of Windows applications for PC
network and standalone users. 

     In December 1991, Finansa received a substantial injection of
development capital from investment house 3i, becoming one of the few UK
software companies to receive such support for several years. In January
1992, Finansa launched its first mass product - WinMail.
