Heartsoft's Recent Support of Microsoft Windows 98(R) Helps
Accelerate Integration of Its Product Lines into U.S. School Districts
with Latest PC Hardware
Heartsoft, Inc. (OTC BB: HTSF), publisher of educational software
products for early-learning students, reported today that Frederick
County Public Schools, Va., has purchased the company's basal software
series, The Heartsoft K-8 Library, for use in all of its ten
elementary schools district wide.
"The adoption by Frederick County is important to us in that it
shows that school districts are not only adopting our new Thinkology
series, as we've recently seen when districts in Tennessee, Oklahoma,
and Louisiana purchased the product for district-wide use, but we are
also seeing substantially increased interest in our basal curriculum
series titles," according to Heartsoft CEO, Benjamin P. Shell
"The order for just under $10,000 is just one of the 11,000 U.S.
school districts Heartsoft has targeted for 1999," said Shell.
