                                  Big News

     DB/C now has its own company!  DB/C Software Company is the name of the
new company that is being spun off from Subject, Wills and Company.  As you
can infer from its name, the sole purpose of the new company is to create,
sell and support the DB/C software products.

     In addition, ProducePro Incorporated is being spun off from Subject,
Wills and Company.  The sole purpose of ProducePro Inc. is to create, sell
and support the ProducePro software products.  The two new corporations begin
operating on January 1, 2000.  The ownership of all three companies remains
the same as before.

     The primary reason for the split up of Subject, Wills and Company is
to allow the resulting three companies to focus on their respective markets.
SWC will continue to provide custom programming services, system engineering
services, and will continue to resell many hardware and software products.
However, the new primary focus of SWC will be to provide e-commerce solutions
to small and medium-size businesses located in the Chicago area.

     The effect on you, the DB/C customer, should be minimal.  The same
products, prices and services will be provided by the new corporation by
the same people.  For at least the next year, all three companies will
continue to reside at the existing Oak Brook offices.  The phone numbers
will stay the same.

     The new Internet domain name for the DB/C Software Company is
dbcsoftware.com.  Thus, the new email addresses end with @dbcsoftware.com,
the web server is www.dbcsoftware.com, and the FTP server is
ftp.dbcsoftware.com.  Currently these new addresses are just redirected to
the swc.com servers, but we plan for them to become independent servers in
the future.  Email requests for general information about DB/C should be
sent to info@dbcsofware.com.  Administrative requests should be sent to
admin@dbcsoftware.com.  Technical support questions should be sent to
support@dbcsoftware.com.

     As we close in on this special New Year, I'd like to thank all of the
users of DB/C software for their support in the past.  We're looking forward
to continued good relationships with all of you for many years ahead.
