              The Last Byte Inc. Releases FON-FON: The People-Base
                    Sophisticated Contact Management Software

     The Last Byte,  Inc. has just  released a new software  product called
     FON-FON:  The People-Base, a  sophisticated contact management package
     which is being distributed as shareware.

     FON-FON features a central Phone Book screen where contact records are
     entered,  updated and  reviewed.   Each contact  record may  be cross-
     referenced  by as many user-defined  categories as are  required.  The
     People-Base  may be scanned by Company name, Contact name, Category or
     Phone Number.  This  last scanning mode is useful for allocating long-
     distance charges when the phone bill comes in!

     The  phone book  screen  gives users  access  to up  to  64K of  notes
     (approximately 30 pages) for each  entry, an integrated dialler  which
     can dial any of each entry's six phone numbers, single key updating of
     the last contact date and message deposit, as well as a handy Same-As-
     Except feature for adding similar entries to the People-Base.

     Also  included with  FON-FON is  an integrated  tickler to  remind and
     alert  you of upcoming appointments,  deadlines, calls to  be made and
     birthdays.   The tickler screen  colour-codes event records into time-
     relative segments: today, tomorrow,  this week and this month.   Users
     can  easily switch from  the tickler screen to  the phone book screen,
     already positioned on the appropriate record!

     An  extremely  powerful  Selection  Screen  allows  users  to  specify
     selection criteria and perform  mass updates to the  People-Base based
     on  these.    This gives  users  complete  control  over the  Category
     configurations.

     FON-FON  also has  a number  of  reports which  may be  directed to  a
     printer or disk file,  and which may print  the entire People-Base  or
     selected Categories of entries.

     For all its sophistication and power, FON-FON sports an extremely easy
     to use, user-friendly interface, making it a snap to learn  and a must
     for anyone who uses a phone!

     While the software  is still only at  version 0.22, as you  can see it
     already boasts an impressive  list of features.  Several  new features
     will be  added and some of  the existing features will  be enhanced to
     create  version 1.00.   Registered users  will be upgraded  to the new
     version free of charge, as soon as it is ready.

     Several add-on products are already  in the design stages and will  be
     released shortly after version 1.00.

     Support  for FON-FON  is provided  through the  CompuServe Information
     Service (CIS).







     A free evaluation version (shareware) of the software is available for
     downloading  from selected  bulletin board  systems around  the world.
