Distinct Releases Products for Japanese Market

SARATOGA, CA--Distinct Corporation announces the release of Japanese
versions of the popular Distinct TCP/IP Tools, Distinct NFS, Distinct
TCP/IP Tools/NFS and Distinct TCP/IP Run Time packages. These are fully
localized products that take into consideration the needs of the Japanese
market while retaining all of Distinct's well known reliability and ease
of use. All products are available for both the NEC and DOS/V platforms.

In an arrangement announced earlier this year, NextCom K.K. will manage the
introduction of Distinct products to the Japanese market. The Distinct
products will be marketed under the Distinct/NextCom TCP/IP brand.

"Thanks to the close cooperation we had between Distinct and NextCom on
this project, we are able to offer the Japanese market a selection of
products that are both culturally and linguistically attuned to the
Japanese consumer's needs. Combined with Distinct's proven quality and
reliability this will make the Distinct/NextCom TCP/IP brand a market
leader" said Seiji Uehara, President of NextCom K.K.

Speaking at the Tokyo Networld/Interop in July, Tarcisio Pedrotti
elaborated on Distinct's choice of NextCom K.K., "We were searching for a
strong partner with a solid technology background and the marketing
relationships to introduce our products to the Japanese market.  With
NextCom K.K. we felt we had found a company that knew the TCP/IP business,
that we could cooperate with on localization of our software and most
importantly with whom we could establish a long term strategic
relationship."
