CLARIS RELEASES ULTIMATE IN BUSINESS CHARTING AND DIAGRAMING CLARISIMPACT
2.0

Delivers Powerful Business Charts and Diagrams on Windows and Macintosh
Computers, Ideal for Small Business Applications

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- June 19, 1995 -- Claris Corporation today announced
the release of ClarisImpact 2.0, the fastest and easiest way for small
business users to deliver professional quality business charts and
diagrams.

An ideal productivity solution, ClarisImpact lets business users
effortlessly create essential business graphics such as calendars, project
time lines, organizational, flow and data charts, and network diagrams for
use in presentations, proposals, sales projections, and more. Small
business users will delight in its ease-of-use and can immediately put the
power of ClarisImpact to work in growing their business.

"ClarisImpact 2.0 is the most powerful and easy-to-use charting and
diagraming program available to small business users today," said Mike
Davison, director of Solutions Marketing for Claris. "We have engineered
ClarisImpact to help small business make a professional impression with
everything they create."

Today's small business users need multi-platform solutions to work
efficiently with partners, clients and subcontractors. ClarisImpact 2.0
spans the major desktop computing platforms-Windows, Macintosh and Power
Macintosh-letting small business users easily access work created in any
of these formats.

Instead of starting from scratch, users can select from a broad array of
charts and diagrams or simply select a graphic from the new document
dialog box and click on a page. After the user selects a style,
ClarisImpact creates the entire graphic instantly. The program's built-in
intelligence allows ClarisImpact to handle modifications and changes in
seconds. It automatically adjusts the proper alignment, spacing, and
connections between elements of a given graphic. For example, to revise an
organizational chart, the user simply drags the worker's name to a new
manager. All spacing and connectors are readjusted automatically.

Key Features and Benefits

ClarisImpact comes with a host of features that make the task of creating
business graphics fast and easy:

* Fast, Automatic Chart Creation--Clarislmpact lets users automatically
create the graphics required to organize and run their businesses with
maximum efficiency. Unlike other programs which require the movement and
placement of each element, ClarisImpact's pre-designed styles spring to
action, requiring nothing more than three mouse clicks to yield stunning
results.

* Intelligent Editing--With ClarisImpact, users simply choose a pre-created
artistic "Style" to achieve a professional look and quality output for a
designated chart or diagram. Changing elements in a chart will not erase
the connections established.

* Easy Linking of Data--DataDrawrM, a new feature of ClarisImpact 2.0,
provides even better connections with outside data from databases,
spreadsheets or virtually any tab or comma delimited text file.

* Comprehensive Clip Art--Clarislmpact offers more than 2,000 symbols and
fully editable clip art residing in drag-and-drop libraries.

* Powerful Drawing Tools--While ClarisImpact is easy to use, the program's
built-in set of powerful graphics tools allow limitless possibilities for
graphic expression.

* Powerful Presentations--Small business users can effortlessly develop
professional-quality presentations for prospective clients, partners, or
investors. The integrated outliner helps create presentation content, and
a built-in slide sorter makes it easy to view and rearrange an entire
presentation at-a-glance.

* Robust File Exchange Capabilities--Small business users never have to
fear losing access to existing graphics or data. The built-in XTND file
exchange architecture lets users easily open, work with, and save
documents in a variety of industry-standard file formats. For more
information please refer to the ClarisImpact 2.0 Fact Sheet.
