Novell NetWare Users Can Sample Attachmate's Powerful LAN-to-Mainframe
Access Solution Through an Aggressive Limited-Time Promotion

BELLEVUE, WASH. -- Attachmate - The Intranet Company - today announced an
aggressive program aimed at allowing NetWare customers to evaluate the
powerful capabilities of EXTRA! for NetWare 4.3 for Windows, EXTRA! for
NetWare 6.1 for Windows NT, and EXTRA! for NetWare 6.1 for Windows 95. The
promotion includes distribution of more than 260,000 evaluation CDs of
EXTRA! for NetWare through trade publications, national resellers, and the
Attachmate Corporation web site. In addition, Attachmate will offer
special trade-up pricing to current users of several NetWare-to-mainframe
connectivity solutions from Attachmate and competitors. The promotion is
fully supported by Novell, Inc., and will run through June 30, 1996.

"Many companies need NetWare access to host information, and EXTRA! for
NetWare is the most powerful solution we can offer," said Frank Harms,
vice president, marketing at Softmart. "The powerful capabilities of
EXTRA! for NetWare, combined with the free 30-day trial and special
trade-up pricing, make now a perfect time for companies to explore this
option. Companies that have previously been slow to expand the scope of
their enterprise networks can now test EXTRA! for NetWare for free to see
how easy and inexpensive universal access really can be."

"This promotion gives companies a perfect opportunity to sample the
powerful information access capabilities of the EXTRA! product family,"
said Carl Peede, vice president of marketing at Attachmate. "Since its
introduction in March, EXTRA! for NetWare's powerful, seamless, and
cost-effective PC access to mainframe applications and information has
helped many companies establish corporate Intranets. This special trade-up
pricing and free 30-day CD evaluation opportunity makes it even easier for
companies to give their users simple desktop access to mainframes."

"Novell supports Attachmate's promotion aimed at providing value to NetWare
for SAA customers," said Doug Kernan, director of marketing for Novell's
Communications Infrastructure Division. "EXTRA! for NetWare makes desktop
access to mainframe applications and data as easy as surfing the net.
Attachmate's free evaluation and trade-up offer is an attractive incentive
for our customers who want NetWare for SAA-to-mainframe communication."

Attachmate has instituted a three-part program aimed at giving as many
companies as possible the opportunity to evaluate and trade- up to EXTRA!
for NetWare. Following are details on the components of this promotion.

FREE EVALUATION DISTRIBUTION THROUGH NATIONAL RESELLERS

Attachmate is working with three national resellers to distribute EXTRA!
for NetWare evaluation CDs to their customers throughout April and May.
Attachmate has earmarked more than 40,000 16- and 32-bit EXTRA! for
NetWare 6.1 evaluation CDs for distribution by Softmart, Software
Spectrum, and Stream International Inc. Along with the evaluation
distribution, these resellers will also advertise the evaluation CD and
trade-up offer in their newsletters and catalogs.

"EXTRA! for NetWare satisfies a genuine need for our customers," said Rose
Hultgren, director of marketing at Software Spectrum. "Our partnership
with Attachmate has always been strong and their products are very
popular. Supplying this LAN-to-mainframe access solution is another
example of how Attachmate helps us provide our customers with access to
their valuable data assets."

"Stream is excited to partner with Attachmate in this special program
targeting NetWare customers," said John Shagoury, svp/resale operations
for Stream International, Inc. "Corporate customers creating Intranets
within their organizations will benefit from this cost-effective
opportunity to take a first-hand look at the new features of EXTRA! for
NetWare 6.1."

SPECIAL TRADE-UP PRICING

Attachmate is also offering special trade-up pricing to current users of
Attachmate's NetWare 3270 LAN Professional for Windows, Attachmate's

operating systems. The products give customers the maturity and stability

EXTRA! for NetWare also includes OLE linking technology, Web-style
bookmark and navigation capabilities, and a fully customizable desktop.

While EXTRA! for NetWare includes features specific to and focused on the
NetWare for SAA environment, it also offers the powerful advantages of

multi-user login support; migration capabilities such as DOS HLLAPI
