Mustang Software Announces Sale of Wildcat! BBS Product Lines to
Santronics Software, Inc.

Bakersfield California, November 19, 1998:  Furthering its
transition to a leading Internet customer-interaction company,
Mustang Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTGC) today announced the sale of
the Wildcat! Interactive Net Server, Wildcat! BBS and Off-Line
Xpress BBS mail reader product lines to Santronics Software, Inc.
of Homestead, Florida.

"The market has dictated where we focus our resources and
talents. Today's announcement is additional evidence of the new
direction of Mustang Software," said Jim Harrer, president and
chief executive officer of Mustang Software.  "Over the past year
our Internet Message Center has exploited the emergence of e-mail
as a widely accepted communications medium by creating an e-mail
management solution that has received over a dozen best of show,
editor's choice and product of the year awards and has been
purchased by Fortune 500 companies for  the  purpose of deploying
world-class e-mail customer service systems for their
enterprise."

Under the terms of the agreement, Santronics will immediately
assume ownership and responsibility for the sale and support of
the Wildcat! Interactive Net Server, Wildcat! BBS and Off-Line
Xpress BBS mail reader product lines.
"We believe that this is a very positive development for current
and future Wildcat! customers. Santronics has been an active
third-party developer for the Wildcat! product lines since 1991
and has  the experience to support and continue the evolution of
these products. Wildcat! is now Santronics' primary focus - a
focus Wildcat! customers should welcome," explained Mr. Harrer.

"We are very excited about the future of Wildcat!," said Hector
Santos, president and founder of Santronics Software. "As a
developer and Wildcat! sysop, Santronics is intimately aware of
the new market opportunities for the Wildcat! product line.
Santronics plans to focus all of its energy and attention, while
working closely with current Wildcat! customers, to dominate the
BBS market."
