          FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

          SOFTKEY INTERNATIONAL TO ACQUIRE FUTURE VISION HOLDING, INC.

          Cambridge, MA, July 17, 1995 - SoftKey International Inc.
          (Nasdaq: SKEY and TSE: SSK) today announced that it has signed
          a definitive acquisition agreement to acquire Future Vision
          Holding, Inc., a multimedia software company, in exchange for
          the issuance of approximately 1.1 million shares of common
          stock.  Future Vision, which is privately held, had revenues
          of approximately $11 million in its most recent fiscal year. 
          SoftKey expects to account for the acquisition as a pooling-
          of-interests.  The closing of the transaction is subject to
          certain conditions, including expiration of applicable waiting
          periods under pre-merger notification regulations.

          SoftKey expects to merge the Future Vision New York operations
          into its Cambridge facility, the merger and reorganization
          costs of which have not yet been determined.

          Future Vision publishes and distributes over 40 retail and 70
          OEM multimedia software titles, including Infopedia, a
          multimedia encyclopedia; Martial Arts Explorer; Leonardo, the
          Inventor; the Heinemann Children's Encyclopedia; Me and My
          World Picture Dictionary as well as a host of language
          learning titles.

          Michael Perik, SoftKey's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
          said, "Future Vision has an outstanding reputation and history
          in the OEM market.  We expect that the companies' combined OEM
          sales force and OEM product offerings will allow SoftKey to
          continue providing high quality service to its OEM customer
          base.  We also expect that Future Vision's retail titles, such
          as Infopedia, will fuel the strong demand for more affordable
          product offerings from our customer base."

          Kevin O'Leary, SoftKey's President said, "One of Future
          Vision's most attractive assets is its offshore multimedia
          development studio.  Located in Israel, the facility has on
          staff a team of over 75 artists, animators and software
          engineers with a track record of delivering state of the art
          multimedia titles.  SoftKey plans to use this development
          group to continue to create high quality multimedia software
          titles at low cost."

          a definitive acquisition agreement to acquire Future Vision
          Holding, Inc., a multimedia software company, in exchange for
          the issuance of approximately 1.1 million shares of common
          stock.  Future Vision, which is privately held, had revenues
          of approximately $11 million in its most recent fiscal year. 
          SoftKey expects to account for the acquisition as a pooling-
          of-interests.  The closing of the transaction is subject to
          certain conditions, including expiration of applicable waiting
          periods under pre-merger notification regulations.

          SoftKey expects to merge the Future Vision New York operations
          into its Cambridge facility, the merger and reorganization
          costs of which have not yet been determined.

          Future Vision publishes and distributes over 40 retail and 70
          OEM multimedia software titles, including Infopedia, a
          multimedia encyclopedia; Martial Arts Explorer; Leonardo, the
          Inventor; the Heinemann Children's Encyclopedia; Me and My
          World Picture Dictionary as well as a host of language
          learning titles.

          Michael Perik, SoftKey's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
          said, "Future Vision has an outstanding reputation and history
          in the OEM market.  We expect that the companies' combined OEM
          sales force and OEM product offerings will allow SoftKey to
          continue providing high quality service to its OEM customer
          base.  We also expect that Future Vision's retail titles, such
          as Infopedia, will fuel the strong demand for more affordable
          product offerings from our customer base."

          Kevin O'Leary, SoftKey's President said, "One of Future
          Vision's most attractive assets is its offshore multimedia
          development studio.  Located in Israel, the facility has on
          staff a team of over 75 artists, animators and software
          engineers with a track record of delivering state of the art
          multimedia titles.  SoftKey plans to use this development
          group to continue to create high quality multimedia software
          titles at low cost."
