Sarrus Announces Promotion for International NEXTSTEP User
Group Members:  Offer to Run through October 31, 1993

FOSTER CITY, Calif., September 20, 1993 - Sarrus Software, Inc.
today announced a special offer for International NEXTSTEP User
Group members.  Through October 31, 1993, NEXTSTEP User Group
members can participate in the User Group Promotional Offer and
purchase Pencil Me In 1.1 and SBook 3.1 bundled together at a
one-time promotional price of $249, plus shipping and handling.

"The International NEXTSTEP User Groups have played an important
role in helping newcomers to NEXTSTEP take advantage of the rich
object-based environment and next-generation applications," said
Andrew K. Turk, president of Sarrus.  "We wanted to thank the User
Group community for their continued support by offering them a
really terrific deal."


** The User Group Promotional Offer **

The User Group Promotional Offer includes both of Sarrus' Group
Information Management products, Pencil Me In 1.1 and SBook 3.1.
Pencil Me In 1.1 is the leading group scheduling application for
NEXTSTEP computers.  It combines a powerful, scalable,
network-ready architecture with an easy, intuitive calendar
interface, enabling users to integrate personal and group
scheduling in enterprise computing environments.

SBook 3.1 is a flexible, intelligent personal contact management
tool for business professionals that allows users to store and use
contact information in any way they like.  Its built-in
intelligence automatically recognizes phone numbers, postal
addresses and e-mail addresses as they are typed in, and it allows
users to keep a log of each phone call, fax and letter sent.  SBook
can distinguish between fax and voice numbers, so users can send
faxes or place phone calls with a single click of the mouse.  The
program can print the contents of a contact database onto standard
mailing labels or individual envelopes, complete with postal
barcodes for faster delivery.

The two products work together to help users integrate their
scheduling, to-do lists and contact management.


** How to Purchase the User Group Promotional Bundle **

NEXTSTEP User Group Members can order the bundle directly from
Sarrus.  All orders must be prepaid by check, money order, VISA or
MasterCard, and must be received no later than October 31, 1993.
There is a limit of one User Group Promotional bundle per User
Group Member.  Customers in the U.S. and Canada can reach Sarrus by
phone at (800) 995-1963, by fax at (415) 345-9365, or by sending
e-mail to info@sarrus.com.  Customers outside the U.S. can reach
Sarrus at (415) 345-8950.


System Requirements

Pencil Me In 1.1 and SBook 3.1 run on NEXTSTEP 3.1 for Intel
Processors and NEXTSTEP 3.0 or higher for NeXT computers.  The same
version runs unmodified on either system.
