ATHENA DESIGN, INC. ANNOUNCES MESA 2 FOR OS/2

MARCH 24, 1994 P Athena Design, Inc. has announced that it will release
Mesa spreadsheet software for OS/2.

Scheduled for release in August, 1994, Mesa 2 for OS/2 will be a powerful, 
 full-featured, 32-bit, native OS/2 spreadsheet application. It will take 
 advantage of OS/2 features, including SOM, OpenDoc, multi-threading and
the   Object Oriented User Interface.

Mesa will offer real-time data feeds, SQL database access, and an object  
library that allows developers to integrate Mesa's spreadsheet
functionality   into their own custom applications.

"I am delighted with the way Athena Design, Inc. is exploiting the advanced
  technology of the 32-bit OS/2 operating system to provide their
customers with   even greater value", stated John A. Soyring, Director of
Strategic Relations,   IBM Personal Software Products Division. "Through
Athena's aggressive use of   OS/2's multi-threading, users should
experience superior performance   characteristics. The use of OS/2's
System Object Model enables great   integration with other applications P
on the system, and, eventually, across   the network. I urge PC users to
take this product for a test drive when Athena   makes it available."

"We're very enthusiastic about working with IBM on this project", said
David   Pollak, President of Athena Design, Inc.  "Mesa 2 for OS/2 will
launch Athena   Design, Inc. as a leader in the spreadsheet market for
32-bit operating   systems", he added.

Athena Design, Inc. has been shipping Mesa for NEXTSTEP<R> since August,
1992.   Mesa is currently the best-selling NEXTSTEP spreadsheet.

As the release date approaches, Athena Design, Inc. will conduct a beta
test   program to ensure that Mesa 2 provides OS/2 users the same quality
and   reliability we offer our current customers.

Athena Design, Inc. was founded in 1989 by David Pollak to produce Mesa  
spreadsheet software for 32-bit operating environments.  For more
