            PACIFIC SOFTWARE GROUP ANNOUNCES POWERWATCH
             POWER PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR UNIX COMPUTERS

LOS ANGELES, CA (October 1, 1992)... John Rimestad, president of 
Pacific Software Group (PSG), today announced immediate availability 
of its PowerWatch power protection system for Unix-based computers.

PowerWatch monitors and reports on changes in power availability.  
When power is lost, a warning is displayed on the system console, 
and mail is sent to a specified user.  If power is not restored 
within a user-defined threshold, then PowerWatch broadcasts a 
warning to all users, and an automatic shutdown is initiated.

PowerWatch works with all brands of uninterruptible power supplies 
(UPS), and provides increased protection against file system 
corruption from power loss.  Most UPS systems provide power for a 
limited time after power loss, allowing users to shutdown their 
system.  However, if the system is unattended, UPS power may be 
exhausted without a shutdown being initiated.  PowerWatch guards 
against unexpected power loss, and provides for an automatic system 
shutdown, even when the system is unattended.

"What makes PowerWatch special," says John Rimestad, Pacific 
Software Group president, "is the control it provides in protecting 
valuable filesystem data.  Users can determine the interval between 
power loss and shutdown, and even who gets notified that a problem 
exists."

PowerWatch includes a physical power monitor (a 12-Volt AC adaptor, 
the PowerWatch Sensor, and a six-foot cable) and plugs into a 
standard serial communications port.  An additional PowerWatch 
feature maintains a log of all power interruptions, shutdowns and 
power restorations for diagnosing power problems.  

PowerWatch is available for systems running SCO Xenix and SCO Unix,  
for the IBM RISC System/6000 running IBM AIX Version 3, and on the 
IBM RT System running AIX/RT.  PowerWatch is priced at $149.95 per 
CPU, and is available for a special introductory price of $99.95 
through November 30, 1992.  

Pacific Software Group (PSG), is based in Riverside, California.
