                    ST. PETERSBURG-BASED

         HENTER-JOYCE, INC. ON CBS 60 MINUTES SUNDAY


Henter-Joyce, Inc., a St. Petersburg-based software development
company, will be featured in a segment on the CBS news show 60
Minutes at 7 p.m. EST on Sunday, March 29. The segment, entitled,
"Mother of Invention," will show a number of inventions developed
to assist people with disabilities.

Henter-Joyce is the developer of JAWS for Windows screen reader
software and MAGic (Magnification in Color) software. The JAWS
for Windows product will be prominently featured in the segment,
which will also include an interview with the company president,
Ted Henter.

Henter-Joyce was founded in 1987 by Henter, who began developing
the screen reader after he was blinded in an automobile accident
at the age of 27.

The 60 Minutes film crew, led by veteran reporter Lesley Stahl,
came to St. Petersburg on January 29 and spent the day at the
Henter-Joyce headquarters. They then traveled to Ocala on January
30 to film Henter water-skiing. He is a seven-time national
champion and one-time world champion blind water skier.

Henter-Joyce was also featured in a New York Times article that
ran today in the "Circuits" section.
