BORLAND SHIPS VISUAL DBASE PROFESSIONAL WITH INTRANET TOOLS

NEW VERSION ALLOWS DEVELOPERS TO PUBLISH AND SEARCH DATABASES ON INTERNAL
CORPORATE SITES AND THE PUBLIC INTERNET; TRIAL INTRANET TOOLS AVAILABLE
FREE FROM BORLAND'S WEBSITE

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. -- May 21, 1996 -- Borland International Inc. today
announced the availability of Visual dBASE Professional with Intranet
Tools, a new version of Visual dBASE that includes a set of utilities that
allow dBASE and other Xbase developers to easily create interactive
database applications for the World Wide Web and corporate Intranets.
Visual dBASE Professional includes the Visual dBASE 5.5 database and
application development environment, the Visual dBASE Compiler, and
Borland's new Visual dBASE Intranet Tools. For those developers that
currently own Visual dBASE and its Compiler, the Intranet Tools are
available separately from Borland.

"The Visual dBASE Intranet Tools continue Borland's commitment to deliver
Internet-enabled versions of all our developer products," said Ross
Dembecki, Borland's Group Product Manager for Desktop and LAN development
tools. "These new Visual dBASE tools allow Xbase developers to easily
extend the reach of their existing and future database applications to the
vast number of users being empowered by Web browsers."

Example Web database applications written with the Visual dBASE Intranet
Tools can be run from http://webtools.borland.com/wthtml/wt.htm. For
current owners of Visual dBASE and its Compiler, a trial version of the
Intranet Tools can be downloaded from Borland's corporate
website,http://www.borland.com.

Visual dBASE 5.5 is the industry's only second-generation, object-oriented
Xbase database. Based on leading-edge RAD tools and a flexible, yet easy
programming language, Visual dBASE provides application developers with
the productivity and power to control data. Besides support for both
Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, Visual dBASE pioneered Two-Way productivity
tools for users and developers, and features high performance on
real-world computing platforms combined with robust client/server
capabilities.

VISUAL DBASE INTRANET TOOLS

The Visual dBASE Intranet Tools provide an easy way for users to publish
desktop and server database tables on the Web, so that they can be
accessed and queried by users on any platform with a standard Web browser.
All the database formats supported by the Borland Database Engine can be
published with these tools, including dBASE, Paradox, ODBC, Sybase,
Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, and Borland InterBase.

The Visual dBASE Intranet Tools consist of three components for easy and
powerful Web database development: the Table Publish WebExpert, the Table
Search WebExpert, and DeltaPoint Inc.'s WebTools for Visual dBASE.

Visual dBASE WebExperts

The Visual dBASE WebExperts are designed to simplify the process of
developing database-driven Web pages. They provide a step-by-step,
question-and-answer way for developers and users to connect their
databases to the Web. There are two Visual dBASE WebExperts:

* Table Publish WebExpert -- Automatically turns user-defined database
tables into static HTML pages for copying to any WWW server, including
home pages residing on online service providers.

* Table Search WebExpert -- A point-and-click way to create dynamic CGI
applications for querying database tables across an Intranet or
small-scale website.

DeltaPoint Inc.'s WebTools

DeltaPoint WebTools for Visual dBASE is a class library and collection of
development utilities that provide a CGI interface and web development
tools for creating database-driven web sites. With DeltaPoint WebTools,
users can design WWW-enabled database applications using Visual dBASE and
the Visual dBASE Compiler. Licensed by Borland from DeltaPoint of
Monterey, California, these tools are written completely in Visual dBASE,
and include a powerful HTML-publishing engine, class library source code,
a reference guide to classes, methods, functions, and many documented
examples.
