4-SIGHT ANNOUNCES HARDWARE-INDEPENDENT PCI SOLUTION FOR PREPRESS INDUSTRY

New ISDN Software Products Seamlessly Integrate With Newly Introduced PCI
Hardware

DES MOINES, Iowa--June 19, 1995

4-Sight International, the global leader in ISDN and network faxing
software, today introduced PCI-compatible versions of its best selling
ISDN file transfer products for the prepress industry. This new family of
products will allow prepress shops to immediately communicate with all the
new PCI devices and machines coming to market. All 4-Sight PCI-compatible
products will be available immediately along with the new power macintosh
9500 from Apple Computer, inc., also announced today.

The new introductions include a PCI version of the 4-Sight iSDN Manager and
4-Sight iSDN Braodcast. 4-Sight iSDN Manager which allows high speed (up
to 3.5MB per minute) point-to-point file transfer over ISDN lines as well
as simultaneous voice communications ant screen-sharing editing. The
4-Sight iSDN Broadcast package enables multiple users on a network, to
send files to multiple destinations around the world. Both products
include a powerful Quark Xtention for automated file transfer from within
the application, collecting all associated graphics for the user prior to
sending.

These new PCI versions were previewed at the DRUPA 95 show last month, and
were demonstrated in the Apple, Adobe, Crosfield, Linotype-Hell, ITEK and
Cascade booths. Working as part of the European Fast Track developer
program, 4-Sight will enable existing NuBus based Macintosh users to
communicate with and migrate seamlessly to the new PCI architecture.

Future Proofing Existing Users

"The introduction of the new PCI devices will have a serious impact on the
prepress industry," said Lyndon Stickley, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing of 4-Sight International Ltd. "As a result, most of the 20,000
existing ISDN users currently employing NuBus based solutions will be
dependent upon their hardware supplier to provide a PCI upgrade to their
equipment. Given that only two hardware vendors will be able to provide
PCI solutions upon introduction, many prepress shops will be unable to
take immediate advantage of this new technology. This is exactly the type
of problem that our product can solve. Our strategy of hardware
independence enables our full spectrum of applications to communicate
across a wide range of devices, including the two new PCI products. And
our solution will be shipping with the introduction of the new Macintosh
models."

Products

4-Sight's iSDN Manager 2.0 was introduced in January 1995 providing
customers with increased usability and maximum time savings. iSDN Manager
is a point-to-point, high-speed ISDN file transfer solution targeted at
the graphics, prepress and colour publishing markets. 4-Sight's iSDN
Manager 2.0 allows users to send huge files to single destinations in a
matter of moments. For example, a 10MB photo can be transferred in a
little more than 10 minutes, even without using compression. 4-Sight's
original iSDN Manager product is considered the defacto standard in the
prepress industry and has the largest installed base of any Mac-based ISDN
file transfer system.

4-Sight s iSDN Broadcast provides network access to ISDN services allowing
multiple users to send files to multiple destinations around the world.
With Broadcast, a 10MB photo would only take 3 minutes to transfer.
4-Sight's Broadcast solution comes standard with automatic file routing,
Quark XTension, and an integrated bulletin board.

Both iSDN Manager and Broadcast include the time-saving, easy-to-use
"Draggin' Drop" interface.

Standards

4-Sight is currently the fastest selling ISDN solution in the prepress
industry. Recent agreements signed with Linotype Hell and Crosfield give
this industry standard solution worldwide endorsement.

"This emerging standard will encourage other ISDN card vendors to enter the
PCI market and enable new users to connect with the installed base of
NuBus technology Macintosh Computers," comments Stickley.
