SOFTWARE PUBLISHING OFFERS PRESENTATION GRAPHICS USERS SPECIAL UPGRADE TO
HARVARD GRAPHICS FOR WINDOWS 

Presentation Graphics Market Leader Forges Ahead with New Value-Added
Offerings for Best-Selling Harvard Graphics 

Santa Clara, Calif., June 8,1993 -- Software Publishing Corporation today
announced a special upgrade offer, allowing users of Harvard Graphics for
DOS or competing products to move to the current version of Harvard
Graphics for Windows 1.03 for $149.00. With this offer, users also receive
a free upgrade to the next major release of the market-leading graphics
package. This upgrade is valid for users of Harvard Graphics for DOS (2.x
or later), as well as users of the DOS or Windows versions of Corel Draw,
Freelance Graphics, Persuasion, PowerPoint, and WordPerfect
Presentations.

"This innovative upgrade program is designed to give users an easy
transition to current and future versions of Harvard Graphics for
Windows," said Chris Randles, vice president of marketing for Software
Publishing Corporation. "Combined with our recently announced satisfaction
guarantee, this offer demonstrates our firm belief that once users try
Harvard Graphics for Windows, they will be convinced that it's the best
presentation graphics solution on the market." The Harvard Graphics
satisfaction guarantee, announced last month, lets users swap Harvard
Graphics for DOS or Windows for a competitor's product if they are not
satisfied with their purchase.

"Harvard Graphics for Windows demonstrates Software Publishing's
best-of-breed strategy, giving users a true balance of functionality,
flexibility and value above and beyond what's available in the
shrink-wrapped box," said Randles. "The issue with the 'one size fits all'
approach of single-vendor suites is that no vendor can provide each user
with the best tool for the job within each application category. The fact
that more users today are using Harvard Graphics than any other graphics
package upholds our belief that users continue to prefer the best overall
solution available for creating presentations."

To receive the free upgrade to the next major release, users simply send
their Harvard Graphics for Windows 1.03 box coupon and proof of purchase
to Software Publishing Corporation prior to December 15,1993. For further
details on this upgrade, or other products and services, users may call
Software Publishing's Customer Service department at 408/988-7518.
