Gupta Announces Over One Dozen Third-Party Front-Ends For SQLBase Server 

Encourages Third-Party Development Through Independent Software Vendors
Program

Menlo Park, Calif., March 22, 1993--Seventeen software vendors are
announcing support of Gupta's SQLBase Server as part of an expanded
Independent Software Vendors (ISV) Program announced by Gupta
Corporation.

The ISV Program will increase the availability of third-party products
compatible with Gupta's SQL System family of client-server products,
giving end-users a broader choice of front-end tools that will work with
Gupta's SQLBase Server database, as well as other products compatible with
Gupta SQLWindows and Quest.

"By developing technical partnerships with third-party software developers
through the ISV Program we can increase the universe of SQLBase front-end
products and satisfy the needs of customers who want to use other products
with Gupta's products," said Don Hester director, ISV Marketing, Gupta
Corporation. "We have worked with third-party developers over the past few
years to build products compatible with ours, but with this new ISV
program we are really focusing on dramatically expanding that universe. We
expect to sign an additional 50 software partners by the end of this year,
so we will be opening up a great range of new possibilities to our
users."

Companies currently offering products compatible with Gupta's and that have
been signed to the ISV program are Approach Software, Charmel Computing,
Clarion Software, The Client-Server Factory, Computer Associates,
Evergreen Software, JYACC, Inc., Logic Works, Inc., Mozart Systems, MUST
Software, N Systems, Pilot Executive Software, Pioneer Software, Software
Products Int'l., Software Publishing Corp., Synergistic Solutions, Tools &
Techniques. (See the list that follows for specific product names.)

Gupta ISV's receive free, unlimited telephone hotline technical support;
free access to Gupta's electronic bulletin board support line; access to
Gupta's mailing list, including one free mailing; and discounted
registration to Gupta's Developer's Conference. Developers wishing to
evaluate Gupta's SQL System product line without incurring an obligation
to deliver a compatible product may do so under a 90-day Evaluation
Membership. Under the Preferred Membership, vendors commit to develop and
deliver a product compatible with Gupta's SQL System.

In addition to encouraging front-end tools vendors to support SQLBase
Server with compatible front-end application tools, the program also
welcomes vendors that provide add-on facilities for Gupta SQLWindows and
Quest.

Gupta Corporation, founded in 1984, is the leading vendor of client-server
system software for PC networks. Gupta's products are widely used by major
corporations to downsize/rightsize their applications to PC LANs.

Gupta's SQLBase Server pioneered the market for PC client-server databases,
and continues to be the only such database designed expressly for
networked PCs. The NLM version recently established a new performance
standard for PC client-server databases. SQLWindows has been instrumental
in the growth of applications developed for client/server networks. Quest
is a data access, query and reporting tool for end-users, and SQLNetwork
is a family of software products (SQLGateway and SQLRouter) for connecting
Gupta tools and servers to other server data sources including DB2,
ORACLE, Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, AS/400 Database,
HP/ALLBASE and HP/TurboIMAGE, Cincom SUPRA Server and others.
