Berkeley Systems' After Dark Screen Saver Now Available for 100 Million DOS
Machines

Berkeley, CA (June 29, 1993)-- Berkeley Systems, Inc. today announced that
After Dark, the world's top-selling screen saver, is now available to 100
million DOS users worldwide. DOS users can now swim with tropical fish and
soar with the Flying Toasters while protecting their screens from phosphor
burnin, a problem that occurs when a computer monitor is on but not in
use. Over 30 dazzling displays complete with digital sound come with the
package.

"Millions of Windows and Macintosh After Dark users agree that this is the
ultimate screen saver. In fact, After Dark just won the Windows Magazine
Readers' Choice Award for Best Screen Saver," said Wes Boyd, CEO of
Berkeley Systems. "Now DOS users can enjoy these incredible displays which
delight and entertain onlookers as well as protect their monitors."

Utility That Entertains

After Dark is known as "utilitainment" software because it entertains and
has functional value. The program includes a screen-locking security
system activated by a password, as well as SystemIQ, a task manager that
monitors essential system activities while After Dark is running. After
Dark for DOS is fully compatible with After Dark for Windows, to provide
complete screen saving protection and password security while the computer
is on but not in use.

Sound Card-Friendly

The After Dark for DOS utility comes with digitized sound effects that run
through the internal PC speaker, or through Sound Blaster or AdLib
compatible sound cards. Among the popular sounds DOS users will enjoy are
the bubbling of a fish tank, the crack of lightning and the howl of
coyotes.

Personalizing PC's with screen savers and other related tools has caught on
worldwide. After Dark is a top-selling utility in France, Germany, and
Japan, as well as other countries, where users see the software as a form
of self-expression, computer folk art or office graffiti. Popular features
