PressLink To Preview Next Generation of its Online Service at Digital '95

Attendees Will Get First "Hands-On" Look at New Image-Access Tools

San Francisco, CA -- February 28, 1995 -- PressLink, which created the
online delivery of ready-to-publish materials in 1986, will preview the
next generation of its online software at Digital '95 March 1-4 San
Francisco. The new package includes the ability to view images online. It
integrates features of PressLink Explorer, released late 1994, with an
upgraded version of the PressLink online software.

A prime advantage of the upgraded online software is the ability to see the
results of a photo search instantly -- while online. PressLink
incorporated the online image viewer in response to member requests, then
developed additional supporting features.

While online, the PressLink user can easily:

- search across databases for content from all Information providers,
- sort through thousands of infographics and photos quickly,
- view graphics and photo images as thumbnails for easy comparison
  (the size and number of thumbnails is easily changed),
- drag a thumbnail image into a special window and automatically
  initiate the high resolution download in the background
- view and save images in a "contact sheet" grid that is unique in the
  industry.

Other features of the PressLink preview at Digital '95 include a
demonstration of 14,400 baud rate for high-resolution image transmission
and a system of color icons that simplify use of the online service.
