WATCOM TO DEMONSTRATE DATABASE REPLICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR MASS DEPLOYMENT

Message-based Communication Meets the Needs of Occasionally-connected
Users

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, CANADA, June 14, 1995 -- Watcom, a division of Powersoft
Corporation and Sybase, Inc., today announced it will demonstrate new SQL
database replication technology optimized for mass deployment at Database
and Client/Server World Expo this week in Boston (Booth 428).

The technology, referred to as Watcom SQL Remote, is intended to facilitate
the development of applications such as field force automation systems,
where a large number of remote users are occasionally connected to a
server for database synchronization. The technology will be based on a
hierarchical publisher/subscriber architecture optimized for large
communities of subscribers, and will support important industry messaging
systems such as SYBASE EMS and Microsoft MAPI. Designed for the mass
deployment market, Watcom SQL Remote complements SYBASE Replication Server
and will leverage it to enable synchronization of remote and mobile Watcom
SQL databases with enterprise RDBMSs such as SYBASE SQL Server. The
company expects to make product announcements later this year concerning
the technologies being demonstrated.

"As our customers use mass deployment of SQL-based applications in remote
and mobile environments to achieve a competitive advantage in their
businesses, the need for replication in those environments has become
increasingly clear." said Dave Boswell, vice president. marketing, at
Watcom. "We have a technology that will result in a simple, inexpensive,
yet highly functional solution that makes synchronizing a remote or mobile
database as easy as receiving electronic mail."

Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Powersoft's Watcom division is a
leading provider of application development tools and PC SQL database
products. The Watcom SQL product line is designed to deliver the
simplicity, openness, scalability and cost effectiveness required for
mobile, desktop and workgroup environments. Watcom has established itself
