Solana Beach, California---March 1, 1999--In honor of its 15th year
anniversary, Nisus(R) Software Inc. announces the FREE release of its
blazingly-fast and tiny word processing application, Nisus Compact.

According to Jerzy Lewak CEO, "We are giving away another software
title from our high quality line of Macintosh(R) products. Macintosh
users can download Nisus Compact for FREE and get a taste of word
processing at its best and most efficient. In these days of bloated
software, Nisus Compact is a refreshing reminder of how powerful and
useful a small application can be."

Nisus Compact has many of the features of its big brother Nisus
Writer 5.1.3, but is almost as small as SimpleText(TM). At a mere 1.1
MB for the full download, it's amazing that this tiny application can
do so much! Here are just a few Nisus Compact features:

FILES COMPATIBLE WITH NISUS WRITER: You can interchange fully
formatted files between the two applications.

FLUID GRAPHICS: Paste graphics as characters or on a separate graphic
layer to move with text or fix to page position.

FILE CLERK: Organize, categorize and retrieve all your files, from
within your word processor.

UNLIMITED UNDOS: Write with the freedom to undo all your mistakes,
saved or not, all the way back to opening the document.

WILD CARD FIND:Search and replace using wild cards.

FUZZY FIND: Approximate, sound-alike matches are a search option.

The free Nisus Compact for download, which requires an online
registration, can be found on our web page at:
