KODAK SHIPS CD PUBLISHING SOFTWARE FOR MACINTOSH

SAN JOSE, Calif., Mar. 30, 1993 Eastman Kodak Company today announced early
May U.S. and Canadian availability of Kodak writable CD publishing
software for the Macintosh computer platform.

Kodak CD publishing software enables commercial users to format digital
information stored on a Macintosh computer in conformance with the ISO
9660 file and volume structure standard. The ISO 9660 standard ensures
that data written to a write-once compact disc (CD) is interchangeable
across the major computer platforms, including Macintosh, Windows, DOS,
and UNDC (Users would need a standard CD-ROM device and application
software to read a write-once CD.)

In addition to formatting data, Kodak CD publishing software drives the
Kodak PCD writer 200 from a customer's host computer. The writer transfers
the data to a writable CD in a single session. Kodak will offer
multisession formating software for each of the major operating systems in
the latter part of 1993. Multisession software will allow users to append
data to a previously written disc in multiple independent sessions.

The easy-to-use Kodak CD publishing software features a graphical user
interface that allows users to dick, drag, and drop data files located on
their hard drive for ISO 9660 formatting. The software also furnishes
default settings for novice users as well as on-line help.

Kodak CD publishing software is part of the Kodak writable CD system, which
also consists of the Kodak PCD writer 200 and Kodak writable CD media with
InfoGuard protection system. An outgrowth of the Photo CD system, the
Kodak writable CD system is designed to offer commercial users a standard,
economical alternative to traditional methods of publishing data CDs.
Kodak writable CDs can store 550-650 megabytes (MB) of data, text, images,
and digital audio, depending on the format.

Kodak CD publishing software for the Macintosh operating system has a
manufacturer's suggested retail price of $2,495. Single session Kodak
publishing software is also available for the DOS and Windows environment.
Kodak will soon offer single session formatting software for the UNIX
platform.

Kodak CD publishing software, the Kodak PCD writer 200, and Kodak writable
CD media with InfoGuard protection system are available today from Kodak,
as well as from selected value-added resellers (VARs) and systems
integrators.

For more information about Kodak publishing software or other Kodak
writable CD products or to place an order, consumers may call the Kodak
Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-242-2424, extension 52.
