Further Research Proves PhoneDisc '95 Is Most Accurate CD-ROM Telephone
Directory on Market

May 17, 1995, Bethesda, MD -- In an independent study conducted by Karl
Beiser, of Beiser Information Services, PhoneDisc '95 telephone listings
were found to be 93% accurate, on average. SelectPhone, its closest
competitor, averaged 60% accuracy. "This is an unprecedented
accomplishment within our market category. None of our competitors comes
close to this type of accuracy. Because a phone directory is only as good
as the quality of its listings, we are committed to the continuous
improvement of our listing information. This study confirms the fact that
we are swiftly moving toward our goal of 100% accuracy across all
listings," noted Digital Directory Assistance CEO, Claude Schoch.

Beiser's study examined several other important factors for CD-ROM
telephone directories, including memory requirements, business SIC code
availability, ZIP+4 information, and the speed of the software in both
start up and retrieval time. Again, PhoneDisc was the clear winner across
all test categories. Mr. Beiser stated, "PowerFinder runs in a smaller
amount of RAM than SelectPhone in all cases." In addition, the study found
that PowerFinder '95 contained 100% categorized SIC codes for all business
listings. SelectPhone, on the other hand, averaged less than 70%
categorized SIC codes. Mr. Beiser also noted, "It is clear that
PowerFinder has more ZIP+4 listings. It surpassed SelectPhone in all five
regions." Finally, the study found PowerFinder the clear winner in the
speed category across all platforms. PhoneDisc PowerFinder was up and
running in five seconds flat. The competition averages 20 seconds.
