OCTOBER 26, 1995--ROCKVILLE, MD. OS/2 Professional has announced its third
annual award winners recognizing the best in OS/2 Warp for 1995. The
awards recognize the achievements of individuals, products, and
corporations that have contributed to the growth and productivity of OS/2
Warp. In the product categories, only new software is eligible. As such,
the many improvements in existing products are not reflected in this
year's awards.

OS/2 Warp remains unique in the Intel hardware market, having supported
multithreaded applications for nearly eight years and object-oriented
32-bit applications since early 1992. According to Editor Bradley D.
Kliewer, "The work and design goals of OS/2 developers have just begun to
bear fruit as Microsoft takes the first baby steps on its long journey
toward an object-oriented system. As IBM and independent OS/2 developers
lead, so will the rest of the industry eventually follow."

We are proud to recognize just a few of the people and products who have
established OS/2 Warp as the corporate reference platform for 32-bit
computing. As Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Edwin Black asserts, "We gave
our awards to a distinguished few. But the fact is that anyone who
perseveres in OS/2 despite IBM deserves a medal."

OS/2 Professional's highest year-end honors are as follows:

   * Best New OS/2 Application -- Colorworks
   * Best New OS/2 Utility -- Partition Magic
   * Best New Communications Package -- HyperAccess for OS/2
   * Best New Backup Program -- BackAgain/2 Pro
