FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

World Software Corporation Announces Availability of
WORLDOX 2002 Service Release 3 (SR-3)

SR-3 Features Major Indexer Upgrade, Support for WordPerfect 12 and Updated Viewers

RIDGEWOOD, NJ - June 17, 2004 - World Software Corporation®, a leading provider of document management technology, announced today the availability of WORLDOX® 2002, Service Release 3 (SR-3). Available for download by all WORLDOX Maintenance Customers at no charge, the SR-3 release includes several significant updates, most notable of which is a major performance upgrade to the WORLDOX Indexer. WORLDOX customer sites using the new WORLDOX Indexer technology reported a 50-300% reduction in Indexer text build times. In addition to this dramatic improvement in indexing speed, the SR-3 release also includes support for Corel WordPerfect Office 12, updated WORLDOX Viewers, and a consolidation of program fixes.

• Significant Indexer Speed Increases in SR-3

WORLDOX Software Development achieved a remarkable leap forward in reducing text index build times. WORLDOX customers that have already been using the new SR-3 Indexer technology are extremely enthusiastic about the exponential improvements in their text-indexing performance. Glenn Hagon of Boodle Hatfield LLP in London reported a 300% increase in text-build speed. Hagon remarked, “The new WORLDOX Indexer exceeded all our expectations. Previously, a complete rebuild of our text database could take days. With the new design, we can index more than a million documents overnight.” Dwayne Belcourt, Network Administrator for Field LLP in Calgary, Alberta commented, “I noticed a huge increase in speed with the new technology. Our text builds previous required about 8 or 9 hours, and now they are down to 1.5 hours or less – a phenomenal increase in build speed.”

• Support for Corel WordPerfect Office 12

Corel WordPerfect Office 12 is now fully supported by WORLDOX 2002, SR-3 out-of-the-box. No additional patches or hot fixes are necessary to achieve ODMA integration. For users who prefer macro integration, contact WORLDOX Tech Support to obtain download instructions for the patch.

• Updated WORLDOX Viewers

WORLDOX updates its Viewer technology in SR-3, expanding to include new file types and formats.

Tom Burke, President of World Software Corporation remarked on the strong impact of the SR-3 release. “The indexing speed increases which our customers are reporting are unprecedented in WORLDOX history. This significant improvement in Indexer build times further demonstrates our continuing support of our installed customer base. In addition, SR-3 supports WordPerfect 12, reflecting our continued dedication to serving the legal industry, and also the new Viewers keep WORLDOX on the cutting edge of supporting file formats for viewing.”
