SOFTWARE PUBLISHING ANNOUNCES AN INNOVATIVE GUARANTEE PROGRAM FOR HARVARD
GRAPHICS

Presentation Graphics Market Leader Also Offers The Harvard Graphics
Advisor Presentation Pak for New Users

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 10, 1993 -- Software Publishing Corporation today
announced a satisfaction guarantee program for its market-leading
presentation graphics software package, Harvard Graphics. With this
program, customers who buy either Harvard Graphics for Windows or DOS may
select a competitor's product if they are not completely satisfied with
their purchase.

"As the industry's leading developer of presentation graphics software, we
are confident that Harvard Graphics provides users with the best
all-around presentation graphics solution available on the market today,"
said Chris Randles, vice president of marketing at Software Publishing.
"Feedback from our resellers indicates that customers who are looking to
purchase a graphics package choose Harvard Graphics two to one over the
nearest competitor, primarily because we offer value-added services and
presentation expertise that go beyond the shrink-wrapped box. With this
type of channel feedback, we can offer new customers who are interested in
purchasing a graphics package, a risk-free guarantee that they will be
satisfied with Harvard Graphics."

The guarantee program is valid for users who buy the latest version of
Harvard Graphics for Windows or DOS 3.x between May 15, 1993 and August
31, 1993, and contact Software Publishing within 60 days of purchase.
Products available under the guarantee include Lotus Freelance Graphics
for Windows, Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, Lotus Freelance Graphics
for DOS, and WordPerfect Presentations for DOS.

"We compliment Software Publishing's move to offer a guarantee for their
market-leading Harvard Graphics product line," said A. Richard Sloane,
president and chief executive officer at Softmart, a leading software
reseller based in Pennsylvania. "When customers are looking for a
powerful, stand-alone presentation graphics package on Windows or DOS,
Harvard Graphics is a leading choice."

New Harvard Graphics Customers to Receive Free Presentation Pak

In addition to the guarantee program, Software Publishing Corporation today
announced that users who purchase Harvard Graphics for Windows or DOS
between May 15, 1993 and August 31, 1993 will receive free of charge the
Harvard Graphics Advisor Presentation Pak. Valued at $90, this special
