ATTACHMATE'S OPENMIND WINS NETWORK COMPUTING'S "EDITOR'S CHOICE" FOR
ENTERPRISE-WIDE CONFERENCING SYSTEMS

BELLEVUE, WASH. - Attachmate - The Intranet Company - announced that
Network Computing's selection of OpenMind from Attachmate Corporation won
"Editor's Choice" over Netscape's Collabra Share and SoftArc's FirstClass
for enterprise-wide conferencing systems. In a March 15, 1996 cover story
focusing on "any place, any time groupware"-the products were evaluated on
a weighted features scale measuring enterprise capability, performance,
advanced group features, gateways, and customization.

"OpenMind enables us to communicate on a higher level, to get more work
done more efficiently," said Michael Saunders, systems analyst in the
Administrative Services Department of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University. " The connectivity allows us to provide input into a
document without waiting until all of us are sitting in the same room."

OpenMind from Attachmate allows companies to quickly set up an internal
corporate Intranet by combining group conferencing, document management,
electronic publishing, and workgroup enhanced Internet access. OpenMind
gives businesses an extremely easy-to-use, deeply collaborative workspace
enabling groups working together to exchange ideas, share files, blend
internal data with external information, and manage the Intranet's
resources in an organized, logical, and seamless manner. With complete Web
and HTML integration, bi-directional NetNews group discussion
capabilities, interactivity with corporate e-mail applications, and more
than 150 document-viewers - this product is one of the most innovative
solutions of its kind.

The evaluation awarded OpenMind a perfect score in the category "enterprise
capability" the only perfect score in the entire comparison. According to
Network Computing: "OpenMind is more advanced . . . as a large enterprise
product, especially with its powerful multiserver replication and
communications capabilities." "Moreover," the article continued, "OpenMind
Clients know many proprietary file formats that let users with different
desktop software share information without sharing applications." The
publication also listed group editing, OLE command scripting, and
server-resident hierarchical storage of forums as valuable features of
OpenMind.

"Network Computing's selection of OpenMind as 'Editor's Choice' confirms
Attachmate's commitment to providing enterprise-wide solutions for
Intranet computing, by allowing corporate users to create a virtual
'instant Intranet' to access, share and manage information regardless of
platform or location," said Matt Highsmith, vice president of corporate
marketing for Attachmate. "OpenMind proved to be the most complete
Intranet solution for large groups when compared against more publicized
products such as Netscape's Collabra Share. OpenMind's multiplatform
clients, strong enterprise-wide conferencing, security and document
management features clearly set it apart from the other products."

Attachmate disclosed earlier this year that they will be soon delivering a
'webified' version of this award-winning product, which will dramatically
extend the simplicity of collaborative features with Internet browsers.
