NEW YORK, June 23, 1992--Today at PC Expo, Aldus Corporation announced that
its San Diego-based subsidiary Silicon Beach Software has been renamed the
Aldus Consumer Division, charged with becoming a leading worldwide
supplier of value-priced consumer software.

The new name and focus reflect recent changes in the software marketplace,
according to Vice President and General Manager Steve Cullen. "In the last
year, there has been a significant shift in buying patterns for software,"
Cullen noted. "Computer usage has become much more broad-based and buyers
are far more computer-literate and comfortable with making their own
purchase decisions."

The company also announced the first product under the name of the new
division: Aldus IntelliDraw for Microsoft Windows and the Apple Macintosh.
IntelliDraw is a cross-platform, "smart" drawing program that gives people
an easy new way to draw, visually experiment, refine, and show their
ideas.

"Our heritage is in developing easy-to-use software of the caliber of
SuperPaint, Personal Press, Gallery Effects--and now lntelliDraw--that
offers consumers a high degree of functionality at an affordable price,"
Cullen continued. "Our new name reflects Aldus' commitment to this
emerging growth market."

Aldus Corporation (NASDAQ:ALDC) creates computer software solutions that
help people throughout the world effectively communicate information and
ideas. In addition to Aldus IntelliDraw, Aldus SuperPaint, Aldus Personal
Press, and Aldus Gallery Effects, its product line includes Aldus
PageMaker--the company's flagship program--as well as Aldus Digital
Darkroom, Aldus FreeHand, Aldus Persuasion, Aldus PhotoStyler, Aldus
PrePrint, Aldus PressWise, Aldus SuperCard, and Aldus Super 3D. The
company distributes its products through an international network of more
than 16,000 dealers and distributors.
