            Xanthus International Announces 

                      LaserMan

- the Laser Disc Player Controller for the NeXT Computer


(Stockholm, August 13, 1992) Xanthus International AB today announced  
LaserMan, its Laser Disc Player control application for the NeXT computer  
platform.

Aimed at both commercial and in-house corporate multimedia developers,  
LaserMan is an application for controlling  Laser Disc Players from the  
NeXT computer.  LaserMan can control Laser Disc Players either directly  
through a remote control on the computer screen, or through messages from  
other applications via a Speaker/Listener interface.

For example, LaserMan can be used in combination with Xanthus CraftMan -  
the multimedia programming tool from Xanthus - to produce complete Laser  
Disc based multimedia applications in a very short time.

LaserMan can also be used to control other consumer electronics like tape  
recorders and VCRs, and can be configured to control any device with a  
RS-232 interface.

Xanthus International, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, is a privately  
owned software development company that specializes in the NeXTSTEP  
platform. LaserMan is the second in a series of general-purpose  
productivity tools for NeXTSTEP. In May 1992 Xanthus started to ship its  
first product CraftMan, the multimedia programming tool for the NeXT  
computer. Xanthus International was founded in 1990.
