North York, Ontario, September 19, 1995 --Hummingbird Communications Ltd.
(TSE: "HUM"; Nasdaq: "HUMCF") the technology and market leader in the
worldwide PC to UNIX integration software industry, today announces Exceed
5 for Windows 95. Exceed 5 for Windows 95 is a high performance X11R6
compliant Windows 95 PC X server that enables Windows 95 PCs to access and
display applications from UNIX/X, VMS, Ultrix and OSF/1 based computer
systems.

Exceed 5 for Windows 95 is seamlessly integrated with the Windows 95
environment, enabling the PC user to harness the high performance
multitasking environment of Windows 95, and the improved user interface.
Support for the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) is integrated via
TriTeal's Enterprise Desktop (TED), providing access to CDE enabled hosts
in both single and multiple window modes. Exceed 5 for Windows 95 also
includes the Exceed/Xpress remote access technology, enabling home based
PCs and mobile workers to remotely access UNIX/X applications via standard
telephone lines. The application suite includes a TN3270 emulator,
Hummingbird's EMail client and USENET News reader, and advanced Setup
configuration (Sconfig) and Remote configuration (Rconfig) facilities.
Other integrated support options include XIE image extension for high
performance image handling, FTP and Telnet clients, the Exceed Basic
scripting language, and Launch Pad, Xtrace and Xsession facilities.

The Exceed 5 for Windows 95 PC X server features a high performance native
32-bit X server for LAN connectivity and remote access. Exceed 5's
integrated dial-up connectivity has been optimized to provide higher
performance for remote access to UNIX/X applications via standard
telephone lines or direct RS232 connections. Exceed/Xpress provides the
capability of disabling specific compression algorithms, enabling the use
