CLARISWORKS 4.0 FOR WINDOWS 95 FEATURED AT MICROSOFT LAUNCH

REDMOND, WA., Aug. 24, 1995 -- ClarisWorks 4.0, the smartest all-in-one
program for Windows 95 and Macintosh, will be previewed live at the
Microsoft Windows 95 launch in Redmond, WA., on August 24 along with
FileMaker Pro 3.0 for Windows 95 from Claris Corporation. The two products
will be featured within the Business and Education Pavilions on the
Microsoft campus.

CLARISWORKS 4.0: DESIGNED FOR WINDOWS 95

ClarisWorks 4.0 is expected to meet the Windows 95 logo requirements,
including full 32-bit design, Windows 95 "look and feel," OLE 2.0 client
and drag-and-drop support, and long-format file naming. ClarisWorks 4.0
will also include right mouse button support and a status bar.

ClarisWorks combines a powerful, all-in-one design with expert assistance
and time-saving automation features in a single, easy-to-use program. From
powerful new word processing capabilities like sections and stylesheets to
enhanced database reporting and an HTML translator for creating and
reading documents on the World Wide Web, ClarisWorks 4.0 has the most
robust set of features among all other all-in-one programs. And new
time-saving automation features such as the ExpressStyle, FastReport, and
ReadyArt Libraries, will make ClarisWorks 4.0 users more productive than
ever.

"ClarisWorks 4.0 builds on its unsurpassed customer satisfaction, superior
integration, and compact, high-performance design to offer customers the
most complete combination of award-winning ease-of-use and robust feature
set in its category," said Guerrino De Luca, president of Claris. "With
its enhanced, ready-to-use feature set, expert assistance, and time-saving
automation tools, ClarisWorks 4.0 is the best software value for Windows
95 and Macintosh users at work, in school, at home, or on the road."

The newest version of this full-featured word-processor, spreadsheet,
database, graphics, and presentation, productivity tool adds over 100 new
features while still providing excellent performance and retaining an
exceptionally compact size. And it's the only all-in-one program with 100
percent compatible Windows 95 and Macintosh versions.

EXPERT ASSISTANCE AND TIME-SAVING AUTOMATION

"The ClarisWorks 4.0 ready-to-use focus is designed so that users can begin
working immediately," said Chris LeTocq, principal of SoftTracks, a Los
Altos, Calif.-based market research firm. "And saving time is the number
one priority of small business and home office users."

Three new ClarisWorks Assistants (Mail Label, Home Finance, and Certificate
-- eleven total Assistants) offer step-by-step guidance and expert advice
on document layout, design and content or help with complex tasks. New
time-saving automation features include: ExpressStyle, which redefines the
stylesheet metaphor enabling users to instantly format not only text and
paragraphs, but also graphics, outlines and tables; FastReport, to
automate searching, sorting, and reporting of frequently used data; and
ReadyArt Libraries, so users can store and organize hundreds of
frequently-used clip art images (500 clip art images included with
ClarisWorks 4.0.)

INTERNET AUTHORING WITH HTML TRANSLATOR

ClarisWorks 4.0 offers users an easy way to create and read World Wide Web
documents, with a built-in HTML (Hypertext mark-Up Language) translator.
With ClarisWorks 4.0, authoring a home-page on the Web is easy: simply
create the document in the ClarisWorks word processor, assign text styles
or hypertext links with a single-click, and then save out as HTML using
the built-in translator. The ClarisWorks created document can be viewed on
the Net using any popular web browser such as NetScape Navigator or NCSA
Mosaic.

UNIQUE CROSS-PLATFORM COMPATIBILITY

Alone among all-in-one packages, ClarisWorks 4.0 delivers cross-platform
compatibility for Windows 95 and Macintosh, providing the same interface
and file format across platforms.

THE COMPACT, FAST AND FRIENDLY OFFICE ALTERNATIVE

With its powerful new word processing and database features, superior
usability, compact design and high performance, ClarisWorks 4.0 represents
a real alternative to the Microsoft Office for many users in business,
education and home settings. While adding over 100 new features,
ClarisWorks 4.0 maintains its size and performance advantage over both
Microsoft Works and Office.
