Library

(Rockville, MD, June 12, 1995) Personal Library Software today announced
that Dow Jones News/Retrieval is the latest major online publisher to
release a new service using the PLS search engine.

The release of the enhanced Text Library today by Dow Jones includes many
new features and performance improvements made possible in part by PLS,
including real-time, continuously updated newswires, flexible groupings of
large databases for searching with more complex queries, and superior
capacity and response time. PLS worked with Dow Jones to integrate its CPL
search engine into the new service.

"We are proud that Dow Jones, one of the the premier online publishers,
chose PLS," said Matthew Koll, PLS president. "The service Dow Jones is
releasing today takes advantage of the custom interface to our CPL library
to deliver many new searching and output options to its users. It is a
fine example of how our engine is suited for industrial-strength
applications that require high volumes of data and usage, combined with
concurrent updates."

CPL, (which stands for Callable Personal Librarian), is a programming tool
kit that allows developers such as Dow Jones to build their own,
customized product using the PLS search engine.

"We wanted a way to give our customers the powerful new features and
performance they need," said Timothy Andrews, director of product
development at Dow Jones Business Information Services."We needed a search
engine that was robust and scalable enough to handle the sheer volume of
information in our many databases. PLS enabled us to build such a
product."
