BANYAN SYSTEMS ADDS WINDOWS 95 SUPPORT, EXTENDS WINDOWS NT SUPPORT FOR ENS
CLIENT SOFTWARE

WESTBORO, MA, September 6, 1995 -- Further extending the broadest client
support in the networking industry, Banyan Systems Inc., (NASDAQ: BNYN)
today introduced the new Banyan Enterprise Client for Windows 95 and the
updated Banyan Enterprise Client for Windows NT. With these latest
additions to existing client support, Banyan now delivers 32-bit
performance and tight integration of the Windows environment to
multi-vendor enterprise networks.

The Banyan Enterprise Client for Windows 95 and Banyan Enterprise Client
for Windows NT provide a wide range of immediate performance and usability
benefits to Banyan VINES and ENS for UNIX users including faster
execution, single login/logout for all network resources and backward
compatibility with earlier 16-bit applications. Both products also include
a toolkit to enable developers to port existing 16-bit Banyan-aware
applications to Windows 95 or Windows NT and create new distributed
client/server applications for heterogeneous enterprise networks.

"These packages go beyond simple client support. We've ensured that each
client takes advantage of special Windows functions, such as common login,
Windows 95's Network Neighborhood, My Computer and Explorer, and Windows
NT's SQL Server support. This way users receive the benefits of both
Banyan Enterprise networking and their operating system of choice," said
Donna Angiulo, Banyan Vice President and General Manager, Directory
Solutions Business Unit. "The tight integration of VINES and ENS for UNIX
with WIN 95 brings the power of StreetTalk to the Windows 95 desktop
enabling easier browsing and access to network resources in a heterogenous
environment."
