PerfectWorks To Provide Compaq Customers With Easy-To-Use Software
Solution

OREM, Utah -- September 14, 1995 -- Novell, Inc. today announced its
PerfectWorks for Windows software will begin being bundled on the new
Compaq Presario 7100 Series, the latest Pentium computers designed for the
consumer market. PerfectWorks, the integrated "Works" software package,
will provide Compaq customers with easy-to-use word processing, database,
spreadsheet, painting, drawing and communications modules.

The Compaq Presario 7100 Series includes two models, the Presario 7170
(Intel Pentium 90 MHz system, $1,699) and the Presario 7180 (Intel Pentium
100 MHz system, $1,999). Both systems also come standard with a quad-speed
CD-ROM drive and 8MB of RAM.

"We realize PC companies have a choice in what products they bundle on
their consumer machines and we're flattered that Compaq has chosen to
include PerfectWorks over other Works packages," said Jeff Mallett,
general manager, Novell Personal Access Division. "We're confident
PerfectWorks will add tremendous value for Compaq's customers."

"Compaq offers one of the highest quality software bundles of any consumer
multimedia machine on the market today," said Rod Schrock, v.p. Consumer
Division, Compaq Computer Corporation. "Compaq chose PerfectWorks because
of the ease of use features we think will really appeal to our first time
buyers."

Leading computer industry publications have recently reviewed PerfectWorks
as a great software solution for the home and small office. In their
October issue, HOMEPC gives PerfectWorks their Gold Star Award as the
highest rated and easiest to use Works package for the Windows category.
Home Office Computing's September issue rated PerfectWorks "Almost
Perfect" with a 3# star rating out of 4. PC WORLD made PerfectWorks a "Hot
Pick for the Home Office" in their July 1995 issue.

On August 24, Novell announced the development of PerfectWorks 2.5 for
Windows 95. The native 32-bit version of PerfectWorks is expected to ship
by January 1996 and will allow users to take full advantage of Windows 95
as well as one click access to commonly used PerfectWorks features and
integration with America Online.
