      L-SOFT RELEASES LISTSERV(TM) FOR WINDOWS 95(TM) AS SHAREWARE

                            August 24th, 1995

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Washington, DC)  Windows(TM) users  can now  start their  own electronic
mailing  lists  with  the  shareware version  of  L-Soft  international's
LISTSERV(TM) for Windows  95(TM). This new version  allows Windows 95(TM)
users with  TCP/IP to  create their own  LISTSERV(TM) lists  at shareware
prices.  Some Internet  service providers  charge as  much as  $50.00 per
month for mailing lists managed with less powerful software.

Not  a "light"  port,  all  of the  functions  found  in the  workstation
versions of LISTSERV(TM) - including the now-famous "anti-spam" feature -
are available.  In fact,  this is  the software that  L-Soft uses  to run
WIN95-L, a forum about Windows 95(TM) with an average of 190,000 messages
delivered daily. L-Soft is also hosting a list for users of the shareware
version of LISTSERV(TM), LISTSERV95-L.

LISTSERV(TM) has  been around since  1986 and manages over  19,000 lists,
with topics ranging from camels (yes, the animals) to the David Letterman
TOPTEN list (with over 82,000  subscribers). Although LISTSERV(TM) can be
used to  create electronic  versions of  traditional mailing  lists, most
lists are  configured to allow the  subscribers to "talk" to  each other,
forming  Internet communities  that  bring together  people with  similar
interests, without the geographical limitations of traditional media.

Until recently, such lists could only be created by a technical elite who
had access to  mainframes and workstations. The  Windows 95(TM) shareware
version of LISTSERV(TM) makes it possible for anyone to establish virtual
communities on the Internet.

web site at http://www.lsoft.com/win95-head.html or write to
SALES@LSOFT.COM. The software can be downloaded from FTP.LSOFT.COM.
