PrairieSoft, Inc. Enters the Macintosh Marketplace

September 1, 1993--West Des Moines, IA--PrairieSoft, Inc., a newly formed
company based in West Des Moines, has announced the acquisition of several
well-known Macintosh products from CE Software: DiskTop, Alarming Events,
Amazing Paint, In/Out, MacBillboard and MockPackage Plus Utilities.
MockPackage, first released in 1984, is among the pioneer products for the
Macintosh. DiskTop is a favorite file management tool for many users and
has won numerous awards both in the United States and in Europe.

"Even with all the enhancements made to new Macintosh system software, the
products PrairieSoft will be offering will provide the missing links,"
said Gil Beecher of PrairieSoft. "These products were among the first of
their kind for the Macintosh. They are useful to power users and novices
alike. Each product provides a unique function for Macintosh users that is
not available elsewhere. DiskTop, for example, provides a much better
'Find' function than the one built into System 7 saving the user time."

"Currently, efforts are focused on creating a new look to the packaging of
the products," said PrairieSoft's Paul Miller. "At this time no schedule
has been set, but upgrades and revisions will be made to the products. We
are also planning a very aggressive marketing program.

"We have taken over all technical support and will provide existing and new
customers with the kind of help and support they were accustomed to with
CE," Miller continued. "Our goal is to support and enhance the experiences
of existing users while introducing our products to a new generation of
Macintosh users."

All PrairieSoft products are available from dealers and resellers
worldwide. International users should contact their local distributors for
pricing and availability.

PrairieSoft looks forward to announcing new additions to our product line
as well as upgrades to our existing products, making them even more
valuable to the Macintosh community.

The PrairieSoft product line:

DiskTop--The ultimate file management tool ! A must for hard-drive users.
DiskTop finds, copies, moves, replaces, or launches files and applications
without bouncing back and forth to the Finder. DiskTop makes working with
your Mac easy, smooth and efficient.

Alarming Events--The finest personal scheduler that money can buy. Never
miss another meeting. Keeps track of things to do and archives things
you've done, events and appointments. Simple to use; it's the personal
time management tool you've been waiting for.

In/Out--Keep everyone in your office informed about who is where. In/Out
displays the availability of people and resources like conference rooms,
special equipment, company vehicles and more. Set it to notify you when
the needed person checks in. Owners tell us it proves to be more valuable
than they expected, because it prevents wasted footsteps and misdirected
phone calls. In/Out is designed for small-to mid-sized Macintosh
networks.

Amazing Paint--The most fully featured black and white paint program ever.
Sometimes the situation calls for a "paint" document. When that time
comes, Amazing Paint is the best way to create it. Multiple "undos" and
the ability to handle all styles of type make this a powerhouse among
black and white paint programs.

MockPackage Plus--A classic set of utilities. MockPackage Plus is a disk
full of great, useful tools. Anyone who shares a LaserWriter will find
LaserStatus, included on this disk, to be worth the full package price.
MockPackage Plus contains all those little "extras" that the others
forgot.

MacBillboard--Allows you to create greeting cards, ready to fold, or large
size prints of "paint" format documents. Comes with its own set of paint
tools and templates for printing.

Users outside the United States and Canada should contact their local
distributors for pricing and availability of PrairieSoft products. You may
also contact PrairieSoft directly via phone (515.225.3720) or fax
