Oct 1, 1992 -- Ask-Me Information Center will release the first interactive
multimedia software program for Windows 3.1 to combine the simplicity of a
presentation program with the power of an authoring tool. Tentatively
named "Ask-Me Multimedia Producer," the product is set for a November,
1992 launch.

Ask-Me Multimedia Producer will be targeted towards the presentation
market. It will go much further in its audio and visual handling
capabilities; event synchronization; font and color selection features,
than do any of the current presentation products on the market. While
offering traditional authoring functions such as interactivity and
branching, it will not require scripting, flowcharting, or the high
learning curve characteristic of most authoring programs.

Ask-Me promises to empower the user to create a useful multimedia
presentation within minutes of first entering the program. The user can
integrate existing media as well as create new audio and visuals, while
simultaneously viewing the presentation, all from one point-&-click
screen. Ask-Me Multimedia Producer will be ideal for individuals
developing "authortations," by providing the best of both the authoring
and presentation worlds.

Ask Me Multimedia Producer will allow the user to work with all five data
types: text, pictures, animations, sound, and live-motion video. All
popular image formats will be supported, including PCX, GIFF, TIFF, and
TARGA. All Windows compatible animation file formats will also be
supported, including Macromind and Autodesk animation files. Live-motion
video will be supported through Window's MCI device driver.

Ask-Me Multimedia Producer will retail for under $500. It will be available
through dealers or from ICS direct in November It will run on any IBM PC
compatible under Windows 3.1. A free demo disk and more information is
available by writing or calling the Ask-Me Information Center at:
Northland Meadows Research Park, 7100 Northland Circle, Suite 401,
Minneapolis, MN 554281500. (612) 531-0603.
