StepAhead Software's AddressBlaster for NEXTSTEP Now Shipping!
--------------------------------------------------------------
San Diego, CA -- StepAhead Software today announced that release
1.0 of AddressBlaster(TM) for NEXTSTEP users is now shipping.
AddressBlaster is the all-new enterprise management tool that
combines superior contact management features with an integrated
graphical mail-merge to give users instant access to all of their
contacts.

"We started out trying to build an app that was competitive with
commercially available DOS, Windows, and Macintosh packages, but
NEXTSTEP let us go way beyond that," said Kurt Herrmann, founder
and president of StepAhead Software.  "NEXTSTEP's kit objects,
integrated fax, and networking, let us give our customers
revolutionary capabilities with AddressBlaster."

About AddressBlaster
--------------------
In addition to standard contact management features, AddressBlaster
makes it possible to blast personalized faxes and letters instantly
to any number of contacts.  AddressBlaster's RTFD mail-merge
templates can include color and graphics for company logos,
product graphics, charts and illustrations.  The same simple
interface prints envelopes, mailing labels, phone books,
newsletters, postcards, letters, memos, and more.

AddressBlaster also provides complete import/export capability,
allowing users to share contact info with each other, with other
NEXTSTEP applications, and even with DOS, Windows, or Macintosh
applications.  Fax numbers stored with AddressBlaster are available
to all NEXTSTEP applications.

MCCA developers and system integrators are invited to contact
StepAhead Software to discuss EnterpriseContacts(TM), the
object-oriented API to AddressBlaster.

price for AddressBlaster.  Through September 30, 1994, customers
