San Francisco, May 25. Today at NEXTWORLD Expo, RightBrain Software
and Appsoft, Inc. announced an agreement whereby Appsoft will provide
technology to fully support WriteNow files in RightBrain's new word
processor, ExactlyWrite. In exchange, RightBrain has agreed to
provide free copies of ExactlyWrite to all Appsoft customers who
purchased WriteNow after December 1, 1992.

"We're pleased to work with a quality publisher like RightBrain to
offer our customers a quick migration path to the Intel platform
while preserving their investment in WriteNow documents." said Randy
Adams, president of Appsoft, Inc.  "After seeing ExactlyWrite, we
knew our users would be happy with the product and since our own
word processor, Write, has been delayed, we felt it important to
provide our customers with an Intel solution immediately."

"We are extremely happy to work with Appsoft to provide solutions
for WriteNow customers," said Glenn Reid, president of RightBrain
Software. "WriteNow is clearly the most widely-used word processor
in the NEXTSTEP environment, and users have a large investment in
existing WriteNow documents."

RightBrain Software is an application software company located in
Palo Alto, California. RightBrain, a privately held company, was
founded in 1990 to develop publishing software for NEXTSTEP the
operating system, and is currently one of the leading software
