ATTACHMATE EXTENDS POWERFUL CONNECTIVITY EXPERTISE TO UNIX ENVIRONMENT

EXTRA! X 2.0 gives Windows, Windows 95, and Windows NT users unequaled
desktop access to X applications. KEA! extends its powerful character-
based VAX and UNIX host access to Windows 95.

UNIFORM

Attachmate - The Intranet Company - has enhanced its EXTRA! X and KEA!
products to further extend their powerful capabilities to include Windows
95 and Windows NT systems. The capabilities of EXTRA! X and KEA! meet the
UNIX to host connectivity needs of the vast majority of the business
running UNIX systems.

"Attachmate's goal is to give customers access from anywhere to
anywhere--whether it be new corporate Intranet services, enterprise to
Internet connectivity, or UNIX client/server to host connectivity," said
Kevin Wilzbach, Attachmate's director of product management for the X
Window Products Group. "Attachmate has always been known as the leader in
providing connectivity to various platforms.

These new offerings further strengthen this leadership position by
providing very powerful PC to UNIX solutions that fully leverage the
32-bit technology available in the Windows 95 and Windows NT environment.
EXTRA! X meets customer's PC X server needs while KEA! provides seamless
access to data on a variety of host text and graphics applications."

EXTRA! X 2.0

EXTRA! X 2.0 is a powerful PC X server that integrates X applications with
the Windows environment. Attachmate's EXTRA! X is a 32-bit application
specifically designed to provide Windows NT and Windows 95 users with
seamless access. EXTRA! X carries Microsoft's Windows 95 certification.
The product is also available for the Windows 3.1 environment.

"The core of EXTRA! X 2.0 focuses on improved performance and ease of
installation," said Eileen G. O'Brien, analyst at IDC. "This release makes
Attachmate a newly emerging serious PC X server vendor. Attachmate's
overall connectivity strategy coupled with its strong sales channel and
recent acquisition of Wollongong's technology make the company one that
could threaten the current market leaders."

EXTRA! X allows UNIX customers running X applications, or anyone running
Windows on the desktop and wanting access to X applications, to replace X
terminals with Windows PCs. As X-based companies adopt Windows on the
desktop, EXTRA! X will provide seamless integration between these
companies' X applications and the familiar user-friendly Windows
interface. EXTRA! X also allows Windows-based companies to add X
applications with minimal hardware investment.

Enhancements to EXTRA! X 2.0 include: improved performance; The X
Application Manager, which lets users launch X applications directly from
the Windows program manager; and drag-and-drop graphical key mapping,
which lets users change the keyboard simply by dragging the associated key
symbol to the appropriate key on the keyboard.

Additional EXTRA! X features include: multi-instance support, which lets
users run different Windows managers simultaneously; multi-visual mode,
which preserves an application's color map models rather than limiting the
entire desktop to a single default; a full range of color support, from 4
to 16 million colors; font aliasing, which simplifies X application
development; and full Microsoft Windows font support.

KEA! FOR VAX/UNIX

KEA! is Attachmate's award-winning software that allows Windows 95 desktop
users to access DEC VAX, Alpha AXP, and UNIX computers and integrate data
from these systems into Windows 95 applications. KEA! for Windows 95
includes OLE 2.0 drag and drop support that allow users to seamlessly
access VAX and UNIX host files from their Windows 95 applications. KEA!
also offers extensive graphic support, full integration with Attachmate's
Enterprise Client/Server Series development tools, and the
productivity-enhancing features KEA! users have come to depend on.

AVAILABILITY

Both EXTRA! X and KEA! are available now through the standard Attachmate
channel. International pricing varies by country. Outside of North
America, EXTRA! X and KEA! are available through Attachmate's worldwide
distribution and channel network.

EXTRA! X and KEA! are included in Attachmate's Open System Medallion (OSM,
pronounced "awesome") and Premier Partner programs for value-added
resellers. The OSM program's goal is to recruit highly-motivated resellers
who are both knowledgeable about the connectivity industry and products,
and are willing to focus on Open Systems products. The OSM program covers
Attachmate products that offer PC connectivity to both UNIX-based and
X-based platforms. These products include EXTRA! X, the entire KEA!
product family, and EXTRA! for UNIX. As part of its mission to meet the
UNIX, Intranet, and host connectivity needs of customers, Attachmate will
be holding a series of seminars in 15 key US and international cities
throughout 1996. The seminars, titled "Step Up To Client/Server", will
cover the specifics of evaluating, selecting, and migrating to a
client/server environment.
