ARTISOFT NOW SHIPPING ITS NEW LANUAL(TM) INFORMATION 
SERVICE 

Uses Folio Infobase(TM) Files To Provide An Electronic 
Quarterly Update Of Technical And Product Information 

(TUCSON, Ariz. -- June 30, 1992) -- Artisoft announced 
today the release of its LANual Information Service, a 
collection of Artisoft(TM) Manuals, SpecDisk(TM)  
Information Diskettes, LANtastic(R) Compatibility 
Guides and Technical Bulletins compiled into diskette 
format. These Infobase files allow dealers and users 
to search for indexed words and phrases to instantly 
retrieve information about their LANtastic network. 

The LANual Information Service is updated quarterly 
and can be purchased either by a one-year subscription 
(four quarters) for $249 or one quarter for $75. It is 
available on 5.25" and 3.5" diskettes and is licensed 
for use on an unlimited number of servers/nodes in a 
single network installation.

"LANual allows users to access updated information in 
a convenient and timely manner," said Dave Hallmen, 
Artisoft's Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "It is 
ideal for anyone who deals with the LANtastic network 
on a regular basis -- from the technician who must 
look up answers to technical questions, to the sales 
representative who needs product information, to the 
MIS manager who must keep the network running and 
fine-tune the system for its best performance."     

All data in the LANual Information Service is 
categorized for access through a detailed menu system. 
Using the Query Window, users can search for and print 
out specific technical or user information on a 
desired product by selecting the appropriate Artisoft 
manual from the menu. By utilizing the Problem Report 
selection, users can quickly receive on-screen 
solutions to technical problems. The LANtastic 
Compatibility Guide defines third-party 
hardware/software products that are Artisoft Certified 
Compatible. LANual Information Service's SpecDisk 
section includes information about Artisoft's history, 
special dealer programs, product information and 
pricing.    

Artisoft develops and manufactures a full line of 
hardware and software for local area networks 
including the LANtastic Local Area Network. The 
LANtastic network is recognized as the leader in the 
DOS-based peer-to-peer network market and has won
