ClarisImpact

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. -- May 8, 1995 -- In a move designed to offer
tremendous value and expand the appeal of general purpose drawing
software, Claris Corp. today announced the ClarisDraw Value Pack, a new
promotional bundle featuring its flagship drawing program and its
award-winning charting and diagraming program, ClarisImpact.

The ClarisDraw Value Pack has a promotional price of $199, compared to
ClarisDraw's suggested retail price (SRP) of $399. The promotion is in
effect immediately and runs through July 31, 1995.

"This pricing move is right on for ClarisDraw," said Chris LeTocq,
president of industry analyst firm SoftTracks. "It puts Claris in an even
stronger leadership position in the Mac drawing market. The addition of
charting and diagraming capabilities from ClarisImpact offers users a
compelling business graphics solution," he added.

"We've talked to our ClarisDraw customers, and they have told us they want
the ability to do charting and diagraming, as well as freeform graphics,
so we're responding with the ClarisDraw Value Pack," said Michael
Sanabria, ClarisDraw product manager. "We are also reaching out to new
buyers who may be considering higher priced and more difficult
illustration applications as a way to further grow the draw category."

ClarisImpact has a current suggested promotional price of $149. Now users
buying the best general drawing program in ClarisDraw can also easily
create compelling business charts and diagrams with ClarisImpact.

ClarisImpact, which will be offered on CD-ROM in the box, offers users a
fast and easy way to create organizational and flow charts, network
diagrams, time lines, calendars and a variety of other business graphics.

ABOUT CLARISDRAW

ClarisDraw provides all the drawing tools needed to create freeform art,
technical illustrations, process diagrams, space planning, light desktop
publishing, and can easily master virtually any graphics task.
ClarisDraw's features include intelligent alignment and connection
capabilities, color painting and image editing, advanced text effects,
drag and drop clip art libraries, over 2,400 high quality pieces of clip
art, and full compatibility with the upcoming Windows release due later
this year. ClarisDraw is the ideal product for the non-artist in business
and engineering who needs a versatile, reliable and easy to use graphics
product.

ClarisDraw for Macintosh and Power Macintosh has won raves from users and
trade magazine reviews since shipping in August of 1994. ClarisDraw's
performance has sustained the dominant position Claris has in the
Macintosh drawing market created with the MacDraw family of general
drawing programs.

ABOUT CLARISIMPACT

ClarisImpact for Macintosh and Power Macintosh is the award-winning
business charting and diagraming application for users interested in
easily creating organizational and flow charts, network diagrams, data
charts, project time lines, calendars and other business graphics.

Its intuitive interface and ability to help the non artist quickly create
business graphics that look professional is a big productivity booster
compared to other traditional methods of working with business graphics.
Prior to ClarisImpact, users had to work with numerous applications and
charting utilities, cutting and pasting graphics between their
spreadsheet, utility program and word processor or presentation
application. ClarisImpact streamlines this process, and allows for editing
of graphics `on the fly,' since graphics are always "live," whether in a
drawing, report or presentation.

The new ClarisDraw Value Pack offer can be purchased immediately direct
from Claris, through corporate resellers and retail outlets.
