Ventana Press forms new division for software

CHAPEL HILL, NC--Ventana Media, a newly-formed division of Ventana Press,
announces the May 1994 release of The Internet Membership Kit, the first

software store and walk out with full Internet access--for less than $70,"
said Josef Woodman, president of Ventana Media. "This is the first time
Internet access is so widely and so easily available, and it represents a
significant step toward universal access to the National Information
Infrastructure."

setup, one month's free service and six hours of free online time through
Internet service provider CERFnet.
