First Release of EyerCise for Windows Begins Shipping

Haverhill, MA, June 1, 1992 - RAN Enterprises announces that release 1.0 of
EyerCise, its ergonomic software for Windows 3.0 and 3.1, OS/2 1.3 and
OS/2 2.0 has begun shipping. Use of this software helps prevent health
problems common to Video Display Terminal (VDT) use, and helps improve the
productivity of VDT users. By scheduling and enforcing periodic rest
breaks that include stretches and eye exercises, EyerCise reduces
eyestrain and muscle fatigue. Government studies suggest that rest breaks
- with exercises reduce the chances of short term problems such as
headaches and backaches, as well as the long term problems of repetitive
strain injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Frequent rest breaks have
also been shown to produce productivity gains.

EyerCise runs under Windows 3.0 and 3.1, OS/2 1.3, and OS/2 2.0 and is the
only product of its kind for these systems. lt uses the multi-tasking
capabilities of these systems to schedule rest breaks, either periodically
or at fixed times. EyerCise notifies the user of a rest break and lets the
user finish a task before starting an exercise session. A session can
consist of up to four eye training exercises and nineteen stretches. All
exercises are optionally displayed with instructions, with many of the
stretches animated to provide visual instruction for their use. All eye
training exercises and stretches can be performed while remaining seated.

EyerCise was designed for any user of a VDT. Its default of running every
hour is easily changed. With the initial settings an exercise session
requires about seven minutes to complete. This can be increased or
decreased by changing the number or duration of the exercises to be
performed. All exercises are easily configurable - when to run, how many
repetitions and how long for each repetition.

RAN Enterprises specializes in software development for OS/2 and Windows.
Intense work on these systems lead us to feel the need for the EyerCise
software, and then to develop it. EyerCise was developed with the help of
an optometrist (Dr. Edward Godnig, co-author of the book Computers &
Visual Stress which is included in the EyerCise package). The resulting
application uses several eye training exercises recommended by him, as
well as stretches specifically designed for VDT users.

Release 1.0 of EyerCise is available now from the above number/address. The
retail price of $69.95 for either system (Windows or OS/2) includes dual
media (3.5" and 5.25" diskettes) and shipping to anywhere in the United
States or Canada. Check, money order, Visa or MasterCard accepted.
