              MICRO GENERAL CORPORATION'S BOARD RECOMMENDS TENDER
               OFFER PROPOSAL FROM FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION
                                   SOLUTIONS

         SANTA ANA, Calif., May 2, 2002 - Micro General Corporation (NASDAQ:
MGEN), the leading provider of production and workflow software systems to the
title and real estate industries, announced today that its Board of Directors
has voted to recommend to its stockholders the proposal made to Micro General's
shareholders by Fidelity National Information Solutions (NASDAQ: FNIS). Pursuant
to the proposal, FNIS plans to offer 0.696 shares in exchange for each share of
Micro General common stock for an offer price equivalent to $16.65 per share,
based on April 29 closing prices of both companies' stocks, the date of FNIS's
announcement.

         A Special Committee of directors of Micro General was formed to study
FNIS's proposal to consummate the transaction. Needham & Company, Inc., an
independent investment banking firm retained by the Special Committee, has
rendered an opinion that the exchange ratio of 0.696 shares of FNIS Common Stock
for each Micro General share is fair from a financial point of view to Micro
General's public shareholders as of the date hereof.

         The consummation of this proposal would be subject to approval of
FNIS's stockholders, SEC regulations and other conditions customary for a
transaction of this nature.
