DELRINA'S ECHO LAKE (TM) APPLAUDED BY COMPUTER INDUSTRY PUNDITS SHIPMENT OF NEW 'FAMILY MEMORY' SOFTWARE PROGRAM HIGHLY ANTICIPATED.

SAN JOSE, Calif., AND TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- April 3, 1995-- One of the most talked about new consumer software products is Delrina's Echo Lake, a personal multimedia program for capturing and sharing life stories. The product is expected to be available in May. The choice of Echo Lake as one of P.C.Letter's Demo '95 Premiere products, as well as early reaction from industry analysts and media, make this one of the most anticipated launches in Delrina's seven-year history.

"The user interface is absolutely gorgeous," said David Coursey, editor and publisher of P.C. Letter, and conference chairman for Demo '95. "And it's one of the best designed products I've seen in a long time. This is the kind of product that captures people's imagination, and it may be the first application that lets average people create true multimedia shows."

"This product not only invents a new user interface. . ., it also invents an entire new category of software," commented Amy Wohl in her Demo '95 round-up in Trendsletter. "Expect it to show up in stores this spring and immediately leap into buyer's hands and onto the best-selling software list. This one's a winner!"

Recent preview meetings with leading publications have resulted in strong support of the product as it moves toward completion. Some of the initial reactions include:

o In her April 11th column in PC Magazine, Editor Robin Raskin discussed Echo Lake as a key element in the trend toward 'personal publishing': "So what's the killer app for these cool hardware devices? It may be Echo Lake, a digital archivist from Delrina."

o "I am deeply impressed. I am very, very excited about it. The whole look and feel is unique, and it is going to help sell a lot of scanners, color printers and video capture cards," said Vince Broady, executive editor of Multimedia World Magazine.

o "I've seen nothing else quite like Echo Lake. It defines a new category of software and represents a gutsy move on Delrina's part to come out with something so out-of-the-ordinary," wrote Richard Morochove, computer consultant and syndicated columnist, in the Toronto Star newspaper.
