            LISTSERV LIST BREAKS HALF-MILLION SUBSCRIBER MARK

             CNET DIGITAL DISPATCH HOLDS NEW INTERNET RECORD

                           September 13, 1996

(Washington, DC)... L-Soft international, Inc. announces that the largest
LISTSERV(TM)  list  in  Internet  history has  crossed  the  half-million
subscriber mark. The CNET Digital  Dispatch, an e-mail newsletter used to
promote  CNET's  television  show  and web  site,  is  distributed  using
L-Soft's LISTSERV(TM) and LSMTP(TM) products.

CNET  started using  LISTSERV and  LSMTP in  tandem about  6 months  ago,
cutting delivery  times in 8 compared  to the sendmail solution  that was
used at the  time. The increased delivery rates allowed  the CNET Digital
Dispatch to  nearly double in size  over the 6 month  period, without any
operational worries.  In addition,  production costs  were slashed  by an
estimated $100,000.00.

The CNET  Digital Dispatch list co-exists  with 35 other CNET  lists on a
Windows NT  server. The  total number  of subscribers at  the site  as of
September 10th, 1996 was over 985,000  (for all 36 lists). Typically, 98%
of the CNET Digital Dispatch subscribers  receive their copy in less than
1 1/2 hours.

L-Soft  international,  Inc. develops  and  licenses  the original  (Eric
Thomas) LISTSERV(TM)  mailing list  management software,  now celebrating
its 10th  anniversary. LSMTP and LISTSERV  have been designed to  work in
tandem,  allowing mailing  lists and  mail delivery  to run  on the  same
Windows NT server. LISTSERV delivers 10-12 million messages on an average
weekday to the subscribers of over 31,000 LISTSERV lists worldwide.

CNET: The Computer Network is a media company which integrates television
programming  with a  network of  sites on  the World  Wide Web,  and with
