HSD SHIPS INTERNATIONAL SPELL CHECKER FOR NEXTSTEP  
ANNOUNCES BUNDLING AGREEMENT WITH NEXT

MOUNTAIN VIEW, DEC 2, 1992    HSD Microcomputer U.S., Inc. today  
announced that it has begun shipping an international spell checker  
for NeXTSTEP that supports 11 languages. 

Called HSD Spell, the software will be bundled for a limited time  
with NeXT's European Starting Point Kits. It will also be available  
from HSD and resellers. Suggested retail price is $195, which  
includes two language dictionaries English and one other. Additional  
languages can be purchased for $99 each. Languages currently  
supported include Danish, Dutch, English (U.K. and U.S.), Finnish,  
French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.

HSD Spell is shipped on two extended density disks which contain the  
HSD Spell application and all 11 language dictionaries. The HSD Spell  
application contains a menu choice for installing additional  
languages, which can be unlocked after purchasing an activation code  
from HSD.

HSD President David Peter noted that HSD Spell is tightly integrated  
into the NeXTSTEP 3.0 operating system so that users can check  
spelling directly from the spelling panel built into most NeXTSTEP  
applications.  Many applications utilize the speller built into  
NeXTSTEP 3.0. HSD Spell automatically incorporates installed  
languages into this panel so they can be accessed directly,  Peter  
said. In applications that do not support the NeXTSTEP speller, text  
can be imported via the  Services  menu into the HSD Spell  
application to check spelling or perform a variety of common text  
editing functions. 

Peter also noted that HSD, a leading developer of scanning, OCR,  
image management and voice recognition products for NeXT, is working  
on an entire suite of linguistics products for NeXTSTEP, including  
thesauruses, proof readers and grammar checkers.

HSD Microcomputer U.S., Inc. was founded in 1989 as an independent  
company by HSD GmbH of Berlin, a diversified German company with  
retail, distribution, and product development divisions. Today HSD  
Microcomputer U.S., Inc is a leading supplier of hardware and  
software products for Macintosh and NeXT Computers. HSD is located at  
1350 Pear Ave., Suite C, Mountain View, CA 94043. Phone (415)
