=================================================
PRESS RELEASE

Saroff Design, a software development house in Missoula, Montana, has
announced the commercial release of a unique and timely communication
product. FreeMail is a Windows software package which allows stand-alone PCs
to exchange unlimited and free e-mail with other PCs. FreeMail does not
require a computer network; FreeMail uses regular telephone lines and
standard modems and is easier to use than simple fax machines. Unlike other
e-mail  packages, only one copy of FreeMail must be purchased: unlimited
copies of 'FreeMail Children' can then be given away, allowing fast file and
e-mail  transfers between the FreeMail 'Parent' and any 'Child'.

FreeMail is pleasant to use and is ideal for people who want to exchange
letters / news letters, or files electronically without incurring the
on-going membership costs of commercial on-line services. Designed simply,
FreeMail is the perfect software for grandchildren to stay in touch with
their grandparents; for college professors to send and accept assignments to
and from their students; for newsrooms to receive stories from their off-site
reporters; and for businesses to provide their own on-line customer support.
This is done with minimal phone time: FreeMail is a client-server package,
and all connections and exchanges are fully automatic, meaning that
long-distance charges will be less than what the postage would have cost to
send the same amount of e-mail, and that a single phone line can handle a
tremendous amount of e-mail traffic. The store-and-forward way in which
FreeMail works means that you can leave messages and files to be 'picked up'
by callers at a future time, or you can send your messages and files
immediately.

A single copy of FreeMail can make any place an information center.

FREEMAIL WILL WORK AT HOME. FreeMail uses 
'software ring-detection' which allows homes with a single
phone line to be able to receive e-mail and files. FreeMail can be used
without having to buy any sort of data switch box. FreeMail can work without
interfering with answering or fax machines which may also be on the same
phone line. 'Software ring-detection' is unique; no other communication
product does what FreeMail does. 


USES OF FREEMAIL. With FreeMail you can set up an 
on-line support  and news center with just one phone line. People use 
FreeMail for fast, free, distribution of newsletters,  price information, 
catalogues, graphic files, tech-support answers, software up-dates,
and e-mail. FreeMail  lets people who are working together on any 
sort of project easily exchange their work files and notes. FreeMail is 
used for automated transfer of daily  backup-files. FreeMail is the 
perfect software package for exchanging personal letters. 

FreeMail has built-in security, as well as automatic site polling and
restriction times for calls. (Site polling can be used to automatically
exchange e-mail and files at set times during the day or the week.) Any kind
of file can be exchanged with FreeMail.

If you are using Windows and own a modem, FreeMail will work for you.
FreeMail will make your life easier.

The list price for FreeMail  is $74.95 plus $5.00 for shipping & handling
($15.00 for overnight FedX)

We have a no-risk  return policy. If, for any reason you are not fully
satisfied with FreeMail, return it (diskette and manual) to us within 
30 days for a  refund of your purchase price.
