Novell Announces PerfectWorks for Windows 95

PERFECTWORKS TAKES FULL ADVANTAGE OF WINDOWS 95 AND INCREASES USERS
PRODUCTIVITY WITH QUICK ACCESS TO TOOLS AND ON-LINE SERVICES

OREM, Utah --August 24, 1995 -- Novell, Inc. today announced the
development of PerfectWorks for Windows 95, the latest integrated software
package for the home and small business. The product, scheduled to ship by
the end of the year, increases users productivity by taking full advantage
of Windows 95 and giving users quick access to commonly used tools. In
addition, users will enjoy the benefits of on-line integration through
PerfectWorks one-click access to America Online (AOL).

PerfectWorks provides the necessary tools for the home and small business
user with powerful, yet easy-to-use word processing, spreadsheet,
database, paint and draw modules. The Windows 95 version lets users take
full advantage of the operating system with descriptive long file names
and OLE 2.0 support to drag and drop elements between PerfectWorks and
other applications. Tab dialogs are used for quick access to PerfectWorks
tools and functions. "With the growing interest of our users going
on-line, we provide them simple, one button access to rich content and
information through America Online and the Internet," said Sam Yee,
PerfectWorks product line manager at Novell. "By integrating our unique
tools such as Quicken SE, Grammatik, CallerID, and QuickCorrect with this
on-line connectivity we are continuing to provide a complete solution and
excellent value for our customers."

PerfectWorks focuses on helping the user work faster with one-click Toolbar
access to commonly used features like creating envelopes, annotations,
labels, headers, footers and footnotes. In addition, PerfectWorks uses tab
dialogs to give users quick access to PerfectWorks' modules, templates and
the most recently opened documents. Users will also enjoy quick access to
AOL's commercial on-line services through the tab dialogs.

PerfectWorks' CD-ROM will integrate an AOL starter kit, giving users quick
access to the most popular on-line service in the world, plus 10 free
hours of on-line time for new users of AOL. PerfectWorks will save users
time by bypassing the entry and checking of the user's password. Users
will also be able to customize their entry point into AOL to quickly get
to their most important on-line information.

PerfectWorks has been made popular by its added value features and that
trend continues with PerfectWorks for Windows 95. Users can increase their
productivity by taking advantage of PerfectWorks CallerID module to screen
and log incoming calls, Grammatik to check documents for grammar and
style, QuickCorrect for correcting misspellings as they happen and an
integrated version of Quicken SE to get users started organizing their
personal finances.

PerfectWorks for Windows 95 also creates a logical upgrade path to
PerfectOffice for users who may want or need full-fledged business
applications suite. PerfectWorks provides users upgrading to PerfectOffice
with a similar looking interface, icons and features. Users of
PerfectWorks will also be able to save their files as WordPerfect or
Quattro Pro documents as well as several other popular software file
formats like Word, Ami Pro, Excel and Lotus 1-2-3.
