Business Wire, Oct 4, 1995

MEQUON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 1995--Frontier Technologies, a pioneer of Internet software, today announced a new release of its unique Internet software product for Microsoft Windows-based systems, SuperHighway Access CyberSearch(TM).

This CD-ROM product integrates a huge database of Internet resources with a high-performance Internet browser, allowing users to search for the Internet information they need before they actually connect to the Internet. This saves time as well as connect charges. Once connected, users can download multiple Internet sources at once, thereby increasing productivity. The database is Lycos(TM), developed by Carnegie Mellon University, which is widely accepted as the most extensive catalog of Internet resources.

The November 1995 update includes many new features, including the latest version of Frontier's SuperHighway Access Browser. The Browser displays most HTML 3.0 extensions including interlaced graphics, color backgrounds, and special font attributes. Incremental graphics display allows users to begin viewing graphics as they download. Built in graphics and sound viewers allow display of various graphics formats, and the ability to listen to sound files from within the Browser.

Thanks to a new agreement with Net Guide magazine, CyberSearch users will be able to read "Hot Site" reviews off-line from the November CyberGuide, and link to these sites from within the Organizer. Novice users will appreciate the addition of CyberWISE's(TM) "How to Get Started on the Internet" interactive tutorial, which explains the tools and terminology needed to make productive use of the Internet.

Frontier Technologies' SuperHighway Access CyberSearch, which was first released in July 1995, has received widespread recognition and praise from editors and industry analysts. For example:

o Ahead of the Pack in Internet Browser Market:

"Frontier Technologies is leapfrogging the rest of the (browser)

industry."

- John Krick, senior analyst at DataPro, a computer technology

research group based in Delran, N.J.

o Frontier Browser's Bookmark Organization Superior to NetScape:

"The browser's mechanism for maintaining bookmarks is superb -

clearly superior to the one you get with NetScape. It provides

a tabbed-index Internet Organizer that gives you bottomless

storage."

- Robert Richardson, LAN Magazine, "No (Web) Page Unturned,"

October 1995.

Frontier Technologies' SuperHighway Access CyberSearch will be produced monthly (bi-monthly initially), to reflect the rapidly-expanding array of information available on the Internet. Each CD contains a newly compiled version of Lycos, covering over 500,000 Internet pages indexed by keyword.

SuperHighway Access CyberSearch will work with the user's current Internet service provider, or new Internet users can establish an account via convenient autoregistration with PSINet's Instant InterRamp, a national Internet service provider. PSINet is offering CyberSearch users a free 7-day trial account, with the option to register permanently at the end of that time.
