PRESS CONTACT: Ellen Kazmaier tel: 314-256-9595; fax: 314-256-9595 SOFT-LOGIK 10th ANNIVERSARY: (St. Louis) Soft-Logik Publishing(tm) will celebrate its tenth anniversary on September 11th. In an industry where companies appear and disappear seemingly overnight, Soft-Logik products have become fixtures on the shelves of Amiga and Atari computer owners. Soft-Logik introduced Publishing Partner for Atari in 1986, and it was hailed as the most powerful desktop publishing program of its time. The industry's leading magazine called it a "knockout program". Publishing Partner grew into PageStream and was released for Amiga in 1989. It soon became the number one selling DTP program for both Amiga and Atari computers. In 1994, Soft-Logik released PageStream 3.0 for Amiga, a completely new program which set a new standard for features and value. Version 3.1 is scheduled for release later this year and will be a free update for owners of PageStream 3.0. Today, Soft-Logik sells a wide range of Amiga software, including PageStream and TypeSmith. Soft-Logik is the exclusive North American publisher of Digita's Wordworth, Organizer and Datastore. THE DECADE AHEAD: New versions of PageStream for Macintosh and Windows are in development. The Macintosh and PowerMacintosh versions will be released later this year, and the Windows95 and WindowsNT version is scheduled for the second quarter of next year. A new Amiga version is also planned for next year. Soft-Logik president Deron Kazmaier said "PageStream has become the #1 Amiga and Atari DTP program by being the best program available. The Macintosh and Windows markets have entrenched market leaders, but our extensive experience as a pioneer in the DTP field will help us succeed where recent Mac DTP newcomers have failed." PAGESTREAM3 AMIGA: NEW PRICE Soft-Logik Publishing is pleased to announce that it has lowered the upgrade price for PageStream3. The standard upgrade price from previous versions has been changed from $135 to $95. A new $60 option is being added for those on a budget. The $60 version does not include a printed manual or Pantone(R) color libraries, both of which are included with the standard $95 version. PageStream3 includes the most comprehensive AmigaGuide help system of any Amiga program, so it's easy to use even without a printed manual. Printed startup instructions are included. This price change will help increase PageStream3's user-base so that Soft-Logik can continue development of this important Amiga program. A continuous stream of new users is essential, and the new upgrade price will allow more people than before to use the latest version. Owners of PageStream 1.0 to 2.2 Amiga, excluding the new SE version, are eligible for the new upgrade price. Purchasers of PageStream 3.0 will receive a free upgrade to 3.1 when it is released later this year. PAGESTREAM 2.2 RETURNS: To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Soft-Logik is re-releasing PageStream 2.2, the best-selling desktop publishing program for Amiga and Atari computers. Bundled with a new 90 page manual, PageStream 2.2 SE will probably top the sales charts again at its incredible new price. PageStream 2.2, which originally had a suggested retail price of $299.95 will now sell for just $39. The new lower price will help bring desktop publishing to people who couldn't previously afford a professional quality DTP program. Readers of Britain's "CU Amiga" magazine will receive a free copy of PageStream 2.2 with their October issue cover disk. They can purchase the full program disk set with all of its fonts and the manual for 24.95 pounds Sterling. PageStream 2.2 SE is the perfect choice for owners of older Amiga and Atari computers. Its minimum system requirements are 1.5MB of RAM, 1 floppy drive (2 for Atari), and AmigaDOS 1.3 or any version of TOS. Purchasers of PageStream 2.2 SE Amiga who wish to upgrade in the future can apply the entire purchase price towards the purchase of PageStream3. PageStream 2.2 SE for Amiga and Atari will be available in late October. Orders are being accepted now. WORDWORTH: MORE AFFORDABLE THAN EVER Digita is working on an exciting new version of Wordworth that will include style tags, ARexx, true footnotes, improved tables, faster editing and more. There's no reason to wait for the next version because Soft-Logik has lowered the North American price of the current version. The Soft-Logik direct price for owners of other Soft-Logik programs has been lowered from $120 to $99. The new price at which anybody can order direct, and the suggested street price, has been lowered from $135 to $110. This is a limited time price! WORDWORTH 3.1 SE: NEW PRODUCT Not everybody needs all the features of Wordworth 3.1, that's why Digita created Wordworth SE. Amiga Format gave it their Gold Award and said it has "all the best bits of 3.1 at a bargain price." The SE version has been optimized to run on a 2MB Amiga with AmigaDOS 2.04 or better, with or without a hard drive. Wordworth 3.1 SE will be available in North America in October at the incredibly low price of just $49. This rock-bottom price will help everybody afford this popular word processor. Owners of 3.1 SE can upgrade to the full version of 3.1 for just $59. Orders for SE are being accepted now. THE SE BUNDLE! Now Amiga owners can get the best desktop publisher and the best word processor for the price of a new game! For just $69, Amiga owners can get PageStream 2.2 SE and Wordworth 3.1 SE together. This is the best Amiga software value today, and is sure to be a popular combination in the months ahead. Orders for the SE bundle are being accepted now. ORGANIZER: NEW PRICE Soft-Logik has also decreased the North American price of Organizer. Organizer has been one of Soft-Logik's top-selling programs since its introduction in the spring of this year. Owners of other Soft-Logik applications can order it directly from Soft-Logik for just $75, while other customers can order it for $85. EVANGELIZE! Wordworth owners can save money by getting friends to purchase Wordworth 3.1. If your friends mention you when ordering, they will pay our best price which we normally reserve for owners of Soft-Logik programs. In return, we'll give you $20 off your next Soft-Logik application purchase. PageStream3 owners can save money by getting friends to upgrade to PageStream3, or to purchase PageStream3. If your friends mention you when ordering, they will pay our best price which we normally reserve for owners of Soft-Logik programs. In return, we'll give you $25 off your next Soft-Logik application purchase. --- END --- PS: Watch for another exciting announcement later this month!
