ATTACHMATE OFFERS DOS CUSTOMERS NO-CHARGE Seamless Migration to Windows

"EXTRA! Personal Client for DOS Maximize Host-Connectivity Investment with
Enhanced DOS Technology Today!"

BELLEVUE, WASH.(September 27, 1995) -- Attachmate Corporation, the leading
provider of connectivity software, today announced the shipment of EXTRA!
Personal Client for DOS for premier multi-host connectivity that delivers
host and Internet information to any Microsoft MS-DOS operating system
desktop, over any network, from any source either public or private.
Attachmate has also made available a special introductory offer that
allows customers to migrate at no charge to EXTRA! Personal Client for the
Windows 95 and Windows NT operating system if they purchase EXTRA!
Personal Client for DOS prior to December 31, 1995.

"With its special offer for EXTRA! Personal Client for Windows, Attachmate
is showing its commitment to the Windows 95 and NT platforms by helping
current MS-DOS users make a smooth migration to Windows," said Brad Chase,
general manager of the personal systems division at Microsoft.

Despite the popularity of graphical user interfaces (GUI), MS-DOS
applications are still in wide use in corporate America particularly in
banking, insurance, large oil companies, and government operations. The
high cost of migration is no longer in the hardware itself, but also in
the areas of staffing, training, service, and support.

"Hibernia National Bank is pleased with the hands-on support of
Attachmate," said Conrad Bujard, systems officer and senior analyst at
Hibernia. "Attachmate's support teams were exceptionally responsive to
every problem we encountered during this transition. Attachmate has really
helped us during our migration efforts."

"The inherent costs of upgrading both hardware and software to run Windows
or OS/2 applications have forced companies to reconsider their investments
in DOS-based platforms and client/host applications, " said Larry Zito,
executive vice president, products at Attachmate. "EXTRA! Personal Client
for DOS allows organizations to migrate to other operating systems at
their own pace while increasing their current levels of productivity and
manageability."

At the heart of EXTRA! Personal Client for DOS is the collection of
Attachmate's "best-of-breed" products that provide advanced functionality
while decreasing user complexity. It is no longer necessary to use
different products from different vendors just to access host information.
Attachmate's award-winning support organization is an added bonus,
reducing help-desk traffic.
