NEW CD-ROM TAX FORM SERVICE INTRODUCED BY PRENTICE PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE

FormSource Drives Company Into CD-ROM Market, Producing Nearly 3,500
Federal and State Tax Forms

ATLANTA, October 15 -- Prentice Hall Professional Software today introduced
the company's first CD-ROM product, FormSource, an on-screen tax form
service that produces practically any form an accountant could conceivably
need. Included are federal and state tax forms for all 50 states (plus
Puerto Rico), along with line-by-line links to the instructions.

"FormSource adds a professional appearance to any tax form, and it makes
handwriting, typing, or even photocopying these forms obsolete," said
Eileen Lichtenfeld, CPA, tax products manager. "In just seconds, users can
print a clear original every time." By simply touching a button,
FormSource can produce any of over 15,000 pages of tax forms and
instructions.

Whether entering data, printing a blank or completed form, or just reading
the instructions, FormSource offers accountants the opportunity to save
hours of time searching for forms and provides a superior presentation of
their work.

Key On-Screen With FormFill Capability

FormSource's custom-designed forms in WYSIWYG format simplifies the viewing
of any form. The powerful FormFill feature allows users to key directly
into the form on-screen. They can then laser print the completed form to
get a professional look for even the most obscure form. FormSource also
includes the unique capability to select multiple forms at one time and
then print them in batch mode.

The system is a perfect complement to the forms produced by any tax
preparation software, such as The Prentice Hall Tax Advantage System.
Additionally, since FormSource is a DOS-based system, it operates under or
without Microsoft Windows.

System Overview

Tax professionals can use FormSource to:

* Enhance the professional appearance of their work with 
  laser-printed originals every time.
* Quickly access over 15,000 pages of forms and instructions.
* Enter data with optional FormFill mode to laser print even 
  the most unusual form in seconds.
* Create a client file for duplicate information and save for
  future use.
* Get federal and every state form with linked instructions for:
  Individual, S-Corporation, Corporate, Partnership, Fiduciary,
  Gift and estate, Payroll and information, Sales tax, Tax exempt
  and benefit plans, and Multipurpose returns.

Pricing and System Requirements

FormSource is available for $495, which includes both federal and state
forms. To take advantage of the latest technology built into FormSource,
