QUARTERDECK PARTNERS WITH INFONAUTICS TO BRING POWERFUL HOMEWORK HELPER TO
THE INTERNET

Homework Helper moves to the Internet

MARINA DEL REY, CALIF., OCTOBER 26, 1995 --- Quarterdeck Corporation
(Nasdaq: QDEK) today announced a strategic alliance with Infonautics
Corporation to make Infonautics Homework Helper available to Internet
users. Homework Helper is an online general reference library that makes
searching through hundreds of text and image databases easy and
inexpensive. Currently, Homework Helper is available only to subscribers
of the Prodigy network.

According to the agreement, Quarterdeck will distribute the special
client-side software required to access the Homework Helper server over
the Internet, which will be included in Quarterdeck Mosaic, the company's
World-Wide Web browser, and any product that Quarterdeck Mosaic is bundled
with, such as InternetSuite.

"While there are many useful search engines on the Internet, by and large,
they are dedicated to searching through Internet resources, such as other
Web pages or newsgroups. With Homework Helper, users will be able to find
news from news sources such as Popular Science, USA Today, and Compton's
Encyclopedia," said Gaston Bastiaens, president and CEO of Quarterdeck.
"Quarterdeck and Infonautics will also work together to introduce Homework
Helper into the international market, starting with key European
markets."

"By bringing Homework Helper to the Internet, we now have a potential
audience of thirty million users, many of whom could use a powerful
reference tool like Homework Helper," adds Marvin Weinburger, president
and CEO of Infonautics. "And through Quarterdeck's extensive retail
network, we can achieve much greater retail penetration much faster than
if we had tried to build our own presence."

For users of Quarterdeck's Internet products, Homework Helper access will
be one button click away. Quarterdeck also plans to work with Infonautics
to sign up more quality content providers, particularly international
publishers, to further expand the information available in the database.
