Statistical software leader SPSS will distribute Cardiff's Teleform

Combination saves survey researchers time, improves accuracy, shortens
analysis cycle

Solana Beach, CA--September 28, 1994 -- Cardiff Software, Inc. the leader
in forms processing software and the developer of Teleform for Windows,
today announced a value-added reseller (VAR) agreement with SPSS Inc
(NASDAQ: SPSS), the leader in statistical software for end users.

The VAR agreement gives SPSS non-exclusive rights to market Teleform in
North America. It is expected to be the first step of an ongoing
relationship between SPSS and Cardiff. SPSS will immediately begin
marketing Teleform in North America as an optional module in the SPSS
product line.

"There is a natural fit between the two product lines," said Jack Noonan,
SPSS president and chief executive officer "The first step in analysis is
getting the data you need. With Teleform, our customers can easily take
advantage of fax and scanning technology to gather data quickly and
efficiently without manual data entry. This automated data entry shortens
their job cycle, saves them money and reduces the risk of errors."

Noonan added that with Teleform, "SPSS will be able to offer a more
complete solution to people making the decision about how they will do
their analysis "

Customers use Teleform and their PC to:

* design forms for collecting data
* distribute forms via fax modem or printed on paper
* automatically enter data from returned, completed forms
  using a fax modem or scanner
* verify that the data entry is accurate when necessary
* store the data in one of many file formats

With that data, customers can then use SPSS 6.1 for Windows for extensive
data management, statistical analysis and graphing.

The version of Teleform marketed by SPSS will include an additional feature
that supports the multiple-response data, "check all that apply," survey
researchers typically have. Other features in Teleform 3.0 include a
complete forms design facility, fax distribution capabilities, response
management tools (such as automatic follow-up via fax to non-respondents),
optical mark recognition (OMR), hand print recognition, and optical
character recognition (OCR).

SPSS will provide technical support to Teleform users who purchase the
software from SPSS.

Editor's Choice award in the most recent review of statistical products
SPSS's latest product release SPSS 6.1 for Windows has recently been named
