ATTACHMATE TO DELIVER 3270 TOOLS FOR COMPUTER ASSOCIATES' COBOL
CLIENT/SERVER ENVIRONMENTS AS A MEMBER OF CA'S DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP
PROGRAM

Attachmate's QuickApp offers integration with CA-Visual Realia to deliver a
total solution for COBOL-to-Client/Server migration

BELLEVUE, WASH. -- Attachmate - The Intranet Company - today announced a
partnership with Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) to provide
support for CA-Visual Realia in QuickApp, Attachmate Corporation's
revolutionary graphical client-to-host development tool. CA-Visual Realia
is a fully integrated client/server tool that allows COBOL programmers to
easily create mission-critical graphical applications. Attachmate's
QuickApp extends this capability by easily incorporating host screen-based
information into these new client/server applications while eliminating
the need to write communications code.

QuickApp support for CA-Visual Realia will be available for Windows 3.1
(using CA-Visual Realia version 1.0) and for Windows 95 with full OCX
support (using CA-Visual Realia version 2.0). Under the partnership,
Attachmate has become a member of CA's Development Partnership Program,
which has been recently expanded to include CA-Visual Realia. Attachmate
is the first member under the CA-Visual Realia umbrella.

"Many COBOL developers have been asking for 3270 connectivity support as
part of the client/server migration process in CA-Visual Realia," said
Marc Sokol vice president of advanced technologies at Computer Associates.
"This alliance allows COBOL developers to extend the scope of CA-Visual
Realia with the unique and strongly integrated capabilities of QuickApp."

QuickApp arms developers with a powerful navigation engine which supports
IBM mainframes, AS/400, VAX, Unix and Unisys systems. This engine
eliminates the need to write communication code, ultimately slashing
development time by as much as 50 percent. The Attachmate navigation
engine insulates application developers from the communications and HLLAPI
complexities involved in host-to-client/server development. By eliminating
the need to understand communications programming, QuickApp enables
developers to deploy new client/server and desktop applications using
graphical tools such as CA-Visual Realia in a fraction of the time.

CA-Visual Realia uses a Windows-based visual programming environment to
provide veteran COBOL programmers with new, highly productive tools for
creating and updating new applications, yet retains the full functionality
of COBOL. CA-Visual Realia includes everything users need to build Windows
applications: project management, client/server application development,
enterprise-wide data access via ODBC, a personal database, GUI report
writer, version control, configuration manager, forms editor, COBOL
Workbench, COBOL analysis, navigation and debugging support, database
administration facilities, and more.

"Attachmate and Computer Associates share much of the same client base,"
said Bobby Clay, Attachmate's vice president of Enterprise Client/Server
Tools. "Since 80 percent of corporate America's development sites are
COBOL-based, QuickApp's support for CA-Visual Realia fills an important
gap in the market. Our ability to provide connectivity at the desktop to
CA's strong suite of applications make this partnership a perfect fit."

Computer Associates recommends Attachmate's QuickApp to meet the 3270
development needs of CA-Visual Realia users. Computer Associates will
include an introductory version of QuickApp with all copies of CA-Visual
Realia, enabling CA-Visual Realia users to sample the capabilities of
QuickApp. For existing CA-Visual Realia customers, this version of
QuickApp will be available free of charge directly from Attachmate's
Internet Web page (http://www.attachmate.com).
