Symantec and Delrina Join Forces to Expand Presence in Communications
Market in $415 Million Deal

Cupertino, Calif. -- July 6, 1995 -- Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ:SYMC) and
Delrina Corporation (NASDAQ:DENAF and TSE:DC) today announced they have
signed a definitive agreement to combine in a deal with an estimated value
of US$415 million to Delrina shareholders. By joining forces, the two
companies will combine their individual resources to take full advantage
of the rapidly growing communications market.

"Delrina has superb technology in key areas of communications, including
Internet access, fax and telephony. In the next year the rapid integration
of computers and telephones will create opportunities to apply Delrina's
technology," said Gordon E. Eubanks, president and CEO of Symantec.
"Incorporating Delrina's industry-leading technology with our leading
communications products, like Norton pcANYWHERE and ACT!, and taking
advantage of the synergy between our Enterprise Developer 4GL language and
Delrina's forms business, will give our customers a complete solution for
managing, sending and receiving information."

Delrina Corporation is the industry leader in PC communications and
electronic forms software products. The company's flagship product,
WinFax, has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide since its
introduction in 1990. The company has also sold more than 800,000 copies
of its electronic forms software since 1988.

"Together, Delrina and Symantec will become a major competitor in the
communications arena," said Dennis Bennie, chairman and CEO of Delrina.
"Symantec Corporation's international sales and marketing strengths and
its knowledge of enterprise and remote technology, combined with our
expertise in integrating data, forms, messaging and voice technology will
help customers more quickly realize the productivity benefits of
communications and computer integration."

All three senior executives at Delrina's Toronto headquarters--Chairman and
CEO Dennis Bennie, President Mark Skapinker and Chief Technology Officer
Bert Amato--will remain with Symantec in management roles. Messrs. Bennie
and Skapinker will also join the Symantec board of directors. Delrina's
fourth co-founder, Lou Ryan, will play a pivotal role in integrating the
Delrina worldwide sales organization with Symantec. Delrina Corporation
will maintain its operations in Toronto and retain its strong presence
within the Canadian market.

"This merger plays a major role in establishing Toronto as a center for the
combined company's software development efforts," said Mark Skapinker,
president of Delrina Corporation. "We are excited to join forces with a
company that has a proven track record and the critical mass necessary to
expand our market presence. Together, we are ideally positioned to
capitalize on the communications convergence being fueled by Microsoft's
soon to be released Windows 95."

Delrina expects to report sales for the year ended June 30, 1995, of
approximately Cdn$133 million, up from Cdn$101 million for fiscal 1994. As
expected, however, Delrina has experienced some slowing in demand for its
Windows 3.1 products in anticipation of its Windows 95 products, which are
expected to ship in the September or December quarter. Based on a
preliminary review, Delrina expects that sales for the fourth quarter
ended June 30, 1995, will be approximately Cdn$27 million (down from
Cdn$31.8 million for the same period last year). Reflecting these sales,
the company expects to incur an operating loss for the fourth quarter in
excess of Cdn$0.20 per share, including foreign exchange losses.

Under the terms of the transaction, Delrina shareholders will exchange each
of their Delrina common shares for 0.61 of a share of a newly-created
class of exchangeable shares of Delrina. Each exchangeable share may be
exchanged at any time up to seven years after closing into one share of
Symantec common stock. It is expected that the transaction will qualify as
a pooling of interests for U.S. accounting purposes and will enable
Delrina shareholders to defer taxation until they elect to exchange their
Delrina exchangeable shares for Symantec common stock. It is also expected
that the Delrina exchangeable shares will not be considered foreign
property for certain Canadian institutional shareholders. Symantec will
ultimately issue a total of approximately 15 million shares of common
stock in this transaction.

Subject to regulatory, shareholder and Ontario court approvals, including
review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, the Investment Canada Act and the
Competition Act (Canada), it is anticipated that the transaction will be
completed in November, 1995. Symantec expects to incur merger-related
expenses of $25 to $30 million associated with this transaction in the
December quarter.

software products and services in the fax, data and voice communications,

software.
