PANACEA'S INSTANT UPGRADE FEATURE PROVIDES IMMEDIATE SOFTWARE
GRATIFICATION

LONDONDERRY, NH -- June 14, 1994 - Panacea Inc. today announced that it has
developed a new technology to allow for easy upgrading of software right
on a user's computer, without the usual shipping delay that mail order
requires, or the hassles of going out to the local computer store. This
convenient new technology is called Instant Upgrade.

According to Jake Richter, CEO and CTO of Panacea Inc., "Consumers of the
'90s don't want to wait for products to get to their door - they want
immediate gratification. I agree with that philosophy. I'd love to have
the products I order be immediately available for me to use. That's why we
developed the Instant Upgrade technology."

All a user who wants to initiate the Instant Upgrade process needs to do is
have a valid major credit card handy and place a toll-free call to
Panacea. The Instant Upgrade process generates a unique code on the user's
system, which is read over the phone to a Panacea representative. Based on
that code, the user is given an unlock code, which completes the upgrade,
and allows the user to create a back-up disk of the newly upgraded
software. If appropriate, a manual and/or accompanying documentation will
automatically be sent to the user to compliment their new upgrade
package.

A major difference from other more common software unlock schemes is that
Instant Upgrade does not use a "fingerprint" to copy protect the newly
upgraded software. This means that a user can, as per the Panacea Software
License Agreement, use the new software at the office and at home, as long
as it's only being used on one machine at a time.

Including Instant Upgrade in a free or low-cost demonstration version of a
full software package is the ultimate in the "try before you buy" concept.
Unlike the so-called "money back guarantees", no advance investment is
required, and the user knows exactly what he or she is getting before
shelling out any money. Plus, for the software publisher, this helps
reduce costly paperwork and processing costs which can then be passed on
as savings to users.

The first Panacea product to offer Instant Upgrade is Panacea's new
TurboDLDDemo software, released today, which offers free AutoCAD display
list acceleration, as well as a 40 minute per day simple of Panacea's
highly advanced TurboDLDDeluxe productivity features for AutoCAD.
TurboDLDDemo is available free of charge directly from Panacea via the
Panacea BBS, at (603) 432-5193 (as TURBDEMO.EXE), or it can be found on
CompuServe in the ACAD Forum (as TRBDEM.EXE). Users who are unable to
obtain the free TurboDLDDemo via modem may order a diskette version of the
software directly from Panacea for a $10.00 fee, which covers Panacea's
shipping, handling, and materials costs. The $10 fee can credited towards
the purchase of TurboDLDDeluxe within 30 days.
