FULCRUM ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR POWERBUILDER 4.0

FULCRUM SEARCHBUILDER FOR POWERBUILDER UPDATED, WITH ADDED FUNCTIONALITY

Boston, Database and Client/Server World, Booth 204, June 14, 1995 --
Fulcrum Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: FULCF), a leader in the market for
content-based retrieval software, today announced that it is now shipping
an updated version of its SearchBuilder product for PowerBuilder
Enterprise 4.0. SearchBuilder for PowerBuilder is a toolkit that allows
PowerBuilder developers to incorporate the proven text-retrieval
capabilities of Fulcrum's SearchServer search engine into their
applications. Powersoft Corporation's PowerBuilder is the market-leading
Windows-based development environment for client/server applications.

Fulcrum's SearchBuilder for PowerBuilder is one in a complete line of
toolkits that allow organizations to develop text-retrieval applications
using popular development environments. SearchBuilder for PowerBuilder
enhances the PowerBuilder environment by providing user objects that
support key text-retrieval features, like displaying ranked results lists
and viewing documents with search-term highlighting. In addition to
support for PowerBuilder version 4.0, Fulcrum's new release gains
features, such as the ability to add "word wheels" to custom applications.
Word wheels greatly increase the effectiveness of search applications by
allowing users to see which terms have been indexed in the document
database.

"We are excited by the momentum that PowerBuilder continues to have in the
client/server market," said Peter Eddison, Fulcrum's vice-president of
marketing. "We are taking advantage of the product update to add features
we think will be well received by our PowerBuilder customers."

"Fulcrum's early participation in the Client/ server Open Development
Environment (CODE) program demonstrates their commitment to the openness
and the vendor cooperation that defines this market," said Bill Critch,
director of Powersoft's business and alliance programs. "Our customers are
interested in Fulcrum's powerful text-retrieval engine because of its
significance in developing total information processing solutions."
