Mainstream Newscast

Easy Way to Create Infobases from Leading News Sources Including Reuters,
Associated Press, Ziff-Davis and Others

June 28, 1994, Salt Lake City, Utah -- Folio Corporation, the leading
provider of infobase technology, and Mainstream Data, Inc., a leading
provider of realtime news delivery, today announced the integration of
Folio VIEWS 3.1 with Mainstream Newscast The combination of the two
products will give Mainstream Newscast users the ability to seamlessly
populate Folio Infobases with real-time information including several
hundred information products from more than 20 of the world's leading news
sources including Reuters, Associated Press, Ziff-Davis, and Knight
Ridder/Tribune Business News.

deliver the news, and Folio's Infobase Technology to index, compress and
store incoming newsfeeds, users will gain the powerful ability to quickly
find and incorporate late-breaking information into business planning
efforts, competitive intelligence reports, market trend research, and
more.

"This is a powerful combination of technologies unlike any other available
today," said Tracy Scott, president of Folio Corporation "Staying on top
of the current news is critical for success in business, but so much of
the information that reaches people in a timely fashion doesn't empower
them because it arrives in a form that is difficult to use Folio VIEWS 3.1
adds the technology needed to turn Mainstream's flow of current
information into empowerment.."

The integration product, called Mainstream Newscast for Folio VIEWS, will
be available exclusively from Mainstream Data and will utilize Folio's NFO
(infobase) Append software to quickly and automatically index and append
Mainstream information to one or more Folio infobases Users can then use

business need Because Mainstream technology allows users to create
