June 15, 1995 -- ProDesign, Inc. announces the release of their
mult-functional interactive debit and account service application, MIDAS
v2.50, for Galacticomm's Worldgroup v1.00. The MIDAS application is the
first utility developed for the Galacticomm's Worldgroup that automates
subscription sales by accepting both major credit cards and checks.

Simon Clement, President of ProDesign, Inc. stated, "We are very excited
about the relationship we have formed with Automated Transaction Services,
Inc. Using ATS's check production, electronic funds transfer (ACH), and
credit card capabilities we can offer diverse means of subscription sales
to operators of Galacticomm's Worldgroup platform. Those system operators
who have had difficulty obtaining a credit card merchant account now have
the opportunity to accept checks as payment for their on-line services.
Furthermore, system operators with merchant accounts can offer their
customers a consolidated purchasing environment which doesn*t restrict
payment options."

ProDesign's MIDAS application supports extensive system operator purchase
reports and a virtually unlimited number of purchase option combinations.
Among the many powerful features of MIDAS, the recurring subscription
purchase capability stands out as the most requested option among system
operators. Mr. Clement related, "For years system operators have desired
the ability to automatically charge their customers for services on a
periodic basis. Now, with MIDAS and ATS, system operators can offer this
convenience to their customer*s just like Prodigy, AOL and CompuServe."

MIDAS is available for both Galacticomm's Worldgroup and The Major BBS
platforms. It supports full scrolling, ANSI and RIPscrip purchase
selection interfaces that provide any easy to use, intuitive interface.
MIDAS sells for a suggested list price of $179.00 but is available at an
introductory price of only $125.00. MIDAS will be available at this
introductory price until MIDAS v3.0, with Windows client mode support for
Worldgroup, is released. Anyone who purchases MIDAS at the introductory
price will qualify for a free upgrade to MIDAS v3.0.
