ARTISOFT'S LANTASTIC(R) FOR WINDOWS(TM) NETWORK UTILITY NOW
SHIPPING

Features Icons, Pull-Down Menus and DDE for LANtastic Local
Area Network


     (TUCSON, Ariz.--September 30, 1991)-- Artisoft announced

today that it has begun shipping its new LANtastic for

Windows network utility which allows the LANtastic network to

be run totally from within Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) 3.0.

Priced at $299 per network, it requires LANtastic(R) NOS 4.0

or higher(sold separately) to operate.

     "LANtastic(R) for Windows(TM) was designed for those

LANtastic users who prefer the Windows interface and

operating environment," said Jack Schoof, Artisoft President

and CEO.

     The LANtastic(R) for Windows(TM) network utility offers

the same features as the DOS-versions NET and NET_MGR

programs, but within the easy, graphical user interface of

Microsoft Windows' pull-down menus, icons and on-line help.

It also supports Dynamic Data Exchange(DDE) so that Windows

applications can use LANtastic e-mail to exchange messages

and transfer data.  For Example, with DDE, a user can create

an Excel spreadsheet and send it ot a remote user who will

then be able to double-click on the file to open it in the

application in which it was originally created.

     Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of

hardware and software for local area networks including the

LANtastic Local Area Network.  The LANtastic network is a

peer-to-peer network that allows users of IBM-compatible

computers to connect and share information and peripheral

devices such as printers, hard drives and CD-ROMs.
