FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ON-LINE INFORMATION SERVICE ANNOUNCED FOR ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING & 
CONSTRUCTION

Environmental Dynamics Design, Inc. of Long Island, New York today announced 
the launch of AECNET[tm]- The Electronic Resource Network of Architecture, 
Engineering and Construction.

AECNET is designed as an on-line information and communications resource for 
use primarily by professionals in the AEC community.  AECNET brings  
together information and services from professional organizations, building 
product manufacturers, trade associations, industry publications, code and 
regulation authorities, software publishers, and other AEC related sources.  
To complement these resources, an impressive array of communication and 
Internet connectivity tools are also available.

AECNET gathers, organizes and distributes this wealth of information in an 
easy to find, easy to use form, and provides the AEC industry with an easy 
to access electronic communications hub.  By consolidating resources 
presently spread across hundreds of sources, AECNET will provide AEC 
professionals with a faster and more efficient way of accessing information 
vital to their work. 

AECNET  includes easily searchable libraries of building product 
information, technical articles, building codes, drawing and other graphic 
information, and AEC related software.  AECNET subscribers  have fast and 
easy access to information providers through the use of messaging centers 
and full e-mail ability.  Special interest message forums, real time 
conferencing, and electronic purchasing are also available or in 
development.  Internet access to e-mail and Usenet newsgroups is available 
now, with full support for Telnet, FTP, and World Wide Web planned for the 
near future.

AECNET boasts a full Graphic User Interface ("point and click") for both 
Windows and Mac users through custom client software based upon ResNova 
Software's NovaLink Professional [tm] and NovaTerm [tm].  Subscribers to 
AECNET will receive a complete membership package including all required 
software and documentation free of charge.

Pricing structure for AECNET subscriptions has not been set as of this date.

Launch time for AECNET is tentatively scheduled for mid 1995.  The company 
is actively seeking individuals and firms interested in participating in 
final development and testing of the service.

The company also announced an advance promotion granting all parties 
inquiring before February 1, 1995 one additional free month of AECNET access 
upon launch and advance copies of the AECNET newsletter before then.

Parties interested in participating in testing can contact the company at 
1-800-9AECNET from 8AM to 8PM Eastern Time, or via e-mail at [email-masked].
