Futurus Ships WhereAbouts On-Line In/Out Board Software

Announces Reach 7 Program - Free Software for Seven Users

(Atlanta, Georgia -- June 19, 1995) - Futurus Corporation announced today
it is shipping its new WhereAbouts On-line In/Out Board software designed
to show the availability, location and personal contact information of
staff members company-wide. Futurus also announced a new program called
"Reach T' which offers an actual seven-user version of WhereAbouts free to
first time users by calling "1-800-95-WHERE". Users can also download the
free software via the internet at www.futurus.com or through Futurus' BBS
at 404-242-7857.

"We designed WhereAbouts to provide network users with the ability to
instantly check the availability and location of their business associates
in real time," noted Robert Martinson, Futurus President and CEO. "Our
Reach 7 program is a risk-free way for users to see firsthand how easy it
works and how much it improves office productivity."

WhereAbouts lets everyone on the network know the location and availability
of other staff members by individual, workgroup, department or
company-wide. With one keystroke, users can find out if others are "In",
"Out", at "Lunch", or in a "Meeting". Up to 16 customized status columns
can be added with remarks such as "With a Patient" or "In court". There is
also an "Until" column which indicates the expected time of return.

One of WhereAbouts most unique and powerful features is its Auto-Stat
Sensor which allows the system to be effective with minimal or no user
input. It automatically logs a user as "In" when they log onto their
computer and "Out" when they log off the network or turn off their
computer. In addition, it senses when the user is away from the computer
for a pre-defined amount of time and notes an "Inactive" status. However,
to avoid a false reporting of "Inactive", WhereAbouts audibly prompts the
user to touch their keyboard or mouse to signal that they are "In" but not
working at the keyboard.

A Trace feature in WhereAbouts allows users to put a trace on a co-worker
who's out of the office. When the co-worker returns, he receives a message
of who was looking for him, and the On-Return Alert feature notifies the
user that he is back in the office.

WhereAbouts Monitoring feature is set up so that certain individuals with
supervisor's privileges can monitor their staffs activities and receive
information such as employees' log in/out and going to lunch in one of
three ways; through a pop-up notification, an e-mail message or a report
log. Users also have the ability to grant proxy privileges so that
co-workers can change their status for them.

WhereAbouts includes a template for personal data, such as phone numbers,
extension numbers, address, titles, supervisors, etc. that can be accessed
and changed easily by managers. An unlimited number of new and customized
fields can be added.

Compatible with the leading networks, such as Novell NetWare, Artisoft
LANtastic, and Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, WhereAbouts is priced at
$199 for 10 users, $299 for 25 users, $499 for 50 users, $799 for 100
users, $3499 for 500 users, and $4999 for 1000 users. Call for site
license prices.

The WhereAbouts Reach 7 FREE promotion provides an actual Windows version
of the software with on-line help and documentation to those who receive a
diskette by mail. Those who choose to receive the WhereAbouts Reach 7 via
internet at www.furutus.com or through Futurus' BBS at 404-242-7857
(Bulletin Board Service) have a choice of DOS, Windows or both versions of
the software.
