ATTACHMATE ANNOUNCES ITS BOLD WINDOWS 95 STRATEGY - EXTRA! PERSONAL CLIENT
PROVIDES TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH.

"THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL"

SEATTLE -- April 17, 1995 -- Attachmate Corporation, the world's leading
provider of enterprise-wide connectivity software, today announced the
first, most advanced, and universal connectivity and communications
solution for the Windows 95 desktop, EXTRA! Personal Client 6.0 for
Windows, Windows NT and Windows 95.

EXTRA! Personal Client 6.0 represents a major technology breakthrough with
its automatic navigation capability and built-in global access to any
host, access to the Internet, full TCP/IP connectivity and applications,
remote access, database access, object oriented tools and software
distribution. All this exciting and diverse connectivity technology is
available right out of the box. EXTRA! Personal Client 6.0 will contain
both 16 and 32-bit versions of Windows on the same CD, for $425 (U.S.).

"It sounds wonderful, and if EXTRA! Personal Client does everything they
say it will, then Attachmate will be head and shoulders above the rest,"
said Scott Mason for Chevron Information Technology.

"This is a major step forward for all large organizations which access
enterprise information," said Mike Jennings, president of ProSoft, Inc.
"Attachmate has essentially eliminated all the confusion associated with
connectivity software purchases and has removed the biggest 'do-I-buy it'
hurdle in our Windows 95 rollout."

BREAKTHROUGH - TECHNOLOGY

EXTRA! Personal Client represents a crowning technological breakthrough by
automatically navigating the user through screens, triggering events,
launching Windows or enterprise applications, retrieving information and
updating and integrating it via OLE 2.0 into other Windows desktop
applications. The auto-sensing intelligence in the product remembers where
in your enterprise you want to go and takes you back to that destination
whenever you want. For example, a user can connect with a host application
- all they have to do is visit the needed screens - EXTRA! Personal Client
learns the path and posts the screen name to a drop-down menu. It will
then take the user there again - any time they wish, with a click.

BRINGING THE BEST TOGETHER

EXTRA! Personal Client is a direct result of the Attachmate/DCA merger that
took place approximately 90 days ago. The new Attachmate has combined the
best technology from both companies including such award-winning products
as EXTRA!, IRMA, RALLY!, KEA!, RLN, SELECT!, NetWizard, Host Graphics and
QuickApp. EXTRA! Personal Client can reach, retrieve or dynamically link
and interact with information from any host in your enterprise including
mainframes, AS/400's, VAX/UNIX - via any server over any remote or LAN/WAN
protocol including TCP/IP.

Not only will EXTRA! Personal Client set the corporate TCP/IP standard as
the most complete TCP solution, it's also Internet-ready so the user can
access public information and the World Wide Web with the same seamless
ease as gathering information from your private network. No longer will
large enterprises be required to seek out their IP Internet requirements
from third-party vendors.

Organizations need to find innovative ways to distribute and manage
software throughout an organization in order to lower the cost of software
management. Included in EXTRA! Personal Client is Attachmate's award
winning NetWizard technology which provides the ability to configure,
install, meter and update EXTRA!, or any other software application or
file.

"This is what the Attachmate and DCA merger was all about," said James
Lindner, president and COO of Attachmate. "We were able to bring the best
together to benefit our customers with a new technology standard - in very
short time to market."

"PERSONALITY" DEFINED INTERFACE

EXTRA! Personal Client employs dynamic personalities which allow users to
easily migrate from their existing user interfaces to the new native
Windows 95 interface. This logical transition minimizes the impact on
users when migrating to the new Windows 95 operating system. Users may
also easily create their own personal interface environment that takes
full advantage of the new Windows 95 productivity features.

"One of our key goals is to simplify the decision-making process for IS
professionals," said Barry Horn, executive vice president, worldwide sales
and marketing for Attachmate. "EXTRA! Personal Client will get the
enterprise to wherever they want to be without breaking the bank along the
way."

EXTRA! PERSONAL CLIENT 5.0

In order to provide Windows 3.1 users with a 16-bit version today,
Attachmate announced they will roll out EXTRA! Personal Client 5.0. EXTRA!
Personal Client 5.0 will include everything that makes up 6.0 excluding
the 32-bit clients. This solution gives users the ability to buy the most
advanced, fully integrated information access client on the market today.
Similar to the 32-bit version, EXTRA! Personal Client 5.0 provides point
and click access to virtually any host - including the Internet.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

EXTRA! Personal Client 5.0 will list for $425 (U.S.), and ship on CD in
May. EXTRA! Personal Client 6.0 for Windows NT, Windows 95 and Windows 3.1
will be available on the same CD late third quarter priced at $425 (U.S).
Anyone purchasing EXTRA! Personal Client 5.0 before June 30, 1995 will be
able to migrate to 6.0 version at no additional charge. In addition,
EXTRA! for Windows, Attachmate Enterprise, IRMA for Mainframe and IRMA
Suite purchased between April 17 and June 30 will also provide a no charge
upgrade path to the 5.0 or 6.0 version. This provides large enterprises
with a simple and clear path to Windows 95 today at no additional charge
in the future.
