PRENTICE HALL'S BUREAUCRATIC BUDDY ADDS IMPORT ABILITY FROM PAYROLL
CHECKWRITING FOR EXPANDED REPORTING CAPABILITIES

ATLANTA, April 14 -- Prentice Hall Professional Software's Bureaucratic
Buddy system now imports data from the mid-range and micro versions of the
company's Payroll Checkwriting package. This gives users additional
reporting capabilities for state unemployment magnetic media and laser
forms.

Payroll Checkwriting tracks wage rates and hours and performs all payroll
calculations, including all states and restaurant reporting. Bureaucratic
Buddy is Prentice Hall's software that handles information returns, such
as W-2's and 1099's, for preprinted, laser, and magnetic media filing.

The company's Payroll Checkwriting software transfers state and federal
information to Bureaucratic Buddy. The transfer enhancement integrates
payroll and tax information from Payroll Checkwriting with the required
government forms produced by Bureaucratic Buddy.

In addition, Prentice Hall announced that Bureaucratic Buddy now produces
the new 941 Schedule B on both preprinted and laser forms.
