Shepton Mallet, Somerset, 28th October 1997 - UK Online Limited announce
their total commitment to supporting users of both the Acorn and Amiga
computers. Tying up with the leading purveyors of Internet software for
these respective platforms, ANT and Active Software, UK Online have secured
demo versions of the software for potential customers to try out UK
Online's Internet service. The demo versions of these programs will be
appearing in the relevant national computer magazines over the coming months.

Free demonstration versions of ANT's leading Internet Web Browser software
for Acorn RISC OS computers, Fresco�, and Active Software's Internet suite
NetConnect, including a free one month trial UK Online Internet account are
now available.

Further support for these platforms by UK Online is demonstrated by the
provision of the best mirror sites for these platforms. Amiga mirrors for
AmigaWeb, Amiga.Org and Vapor are already in place, to be supplemented in
the near future with a full Aminet mirror. Investigation is currently under
way as to the best Acorn mirrors to make available in the UK to further
support UK Online's customers and UK Internet users in general.

Uk Online have negotiated a special upgrade deal to the full version of
NetConnect for Amiga users offering subscribers the full package for the
unbeatable price of �39.95, making for a massive 37.5% discount.

UK Online's commitment and full backing for the Acorn and Amiga markets is
further illustrated by their 24 hour a day, seven day a week help desk
staff supporting these platforms around the clock.

'We are delighted with this collaboration.' said Dean Murphy, Product
Manager, ANT Limited. 'Through it, Acorn users will have one of the most
straightforward yet comprehensive opportunities to explore the many and
diverse facets of the World Wide Web.'  

"Amiga users have been promised Internet support from a number of Internet
companies in the past, but UK Online have done more than just promise,"
said Chris Wiles, Manager of Active Software. "They have bought Amiga
computers, trained their staff to support their Amiga software, bought a
server simply to mirror major Amiga web sites and are working closely with
Amiga magazines to make sure this message is heard."

'UK Online is very pleased to be working with companies such as ANT Ltd and
Active Software,' said Matt Kelland, Business Development Manager, UK
Online. 'We recognise that Internet users are not confined to people with
PCs and Windows, and we are keen to demonstrate that we can deliver a high
quality and comprehensive Internet service to users who may feel neglected
by the mainstream of the Internet business.'
