MAJOR CORPORATIONS STANDARDIZE ON BORLAND'S PARADOX FOR WINDOWS

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. -- May 4, 1993 -- After only three months on the
market, major corporations nationwide are moving to standardize on Borland
International's (NASDAQ: BORL) Paradox for Windows database software.

More than 125 U.S. companies have adopted Paradox for Windows, and now
include the product among their accepted corporate software products.
These companies represent thousands of orders for the product, and many
have taken advantage of Borland's corporate Volume License Agreement
(VLA).

"Corporate customers have stringent requirements for database products,"
said Philippe Kahn, chairman, president and CEO for Borland. "Paradox for
Windows meets customer demands with its functionality and robust features.
From initial planning through product development, our PC software
applications were designed with the corporate customer in mind and we are
pleased that our customers are recognizing the strengths of our
products."

Companies that have adopted Paradox for Windows include: Arco Chemical,
State of Connecticut, Southern California Gas, Bank of America, Fujitsu,
State of Colorado, Southwest Airlines, State of Washington, Chevron,
Charles Schwab, Kaiser, Lucky Stores, Pacific Bell, State of Utah, Varian,
Rockwell, Paramount, Disney, Monsanto, Conoco, Texaco, New York State
Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, Delta Airlines, General
Accounting Office, US Air Force, Lehman Brothers and Memorial Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center.

"Paradox for Windows is the most amazing first release of a product I've
ever seen," said Dan Patterson, senior technical consultant, Arco
Chemical. "While I've been programming for 25 years, this is my first try
with object oriented programming, and I love what I can do with the
product."

According to Larry Taylor, State of Connecticut, "We've been able to take
advantage of Paradox for Window's object oriented environment and build a
"standard" application that is easy to modify for each division's specific
needs.

"We looked at PowerBuilder, but it was harder to get up to speed on. What
we needed was a product that wasn't too big to easily create small
applications, while still allowing us to work our way up to really
sophisticated applications. What we got with Paradox for Windows was an
easy-to-use package that could handle small, single-user PC application,
multi-user LAN applications and SQL server applications."

"Paradox for Windows is our recommended standard," said Jerry Lazarus,
Technical Planning Department, Southern California Gas. "It's a great
first release that enabled us to develop a number of applications that are
already up and running.

Volume License Agreements

Borland's VLA program allows large companies to easily standardize on
Borland products. The VLA program offers aggressive, tiered discounts to
companies willing to make a volume commitment to Borland Products. Through
designated Borland system integrators or others authorized by Borland to
offer VLAs, customers can continue to purchase products from their
existing resellers.

Paradox For Windows

Paradox for Windows brings an unmatched combination of power, ease-of-use
and sophisticated application development to the world of data management.
Paradox for Windows introduces a powerful, visual, object-oriented way of
working with data that lets users easily build applications never before
possible.

The product also provides complete and transparent connectivity to both
Paradox and dBASE data (including dBASE III+, dBASE IV, Paradox 3.x and
Paradox 4.0). For corporations that require access to data residing on
remote SQL servers, Paradox for Windows combined with Borland SQL Link
provides secure, transparent, high performance access to a variety of SQL
database servers.

Paradox DOS and Windows Compatibility

Existing Paradox DOS applications can be run from within Paradox for
Windows. And both products feature the industry standard Query By Example
capability pioneered by Paradox more than five years ago. In addition,
Paradox for Windows is completely interoperable with Paradox DOS data.
This type of compatibility gives users a variety of transition options
when moving from DOS to Windows. Paradox for Windows and Paradox 4.0 (DOS)
share the same file format, allowing users to share data both seamlessly
and concurrently.
