NOVELL SHIPS NEW QUATTRO PRO UPDATE WITH FULL LOTUS 1-2-3 SUPPORT

OFFERS PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE WITH EXCEL USERS

OREM, Utah -- July 24, 1995 -- Novell, Inc. today announced an update to
Quattro Pro, Novell's award-winning spreadsheet which is a major component
of the PerfectOffice suite. The new update helps Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet
users make a smooth transition to Quattro Pro with Lotus menus and
keystroke macro compatibility. The update also converts Microsoft Excel
5.0 file and styles so Quattro Pro and Excel users can seamlessly share
files.

"The Lotus 1-2-3 compatibility in Quattro Pro lets users maintain their
investment in Lotus 1-2-3 because they can switch without learning new
menu or macro commands," said Dorothy Wise, director of marketing and
development for Novell's Quattro Pro. "This level of compatibility makes
Quattro Pro a compelling solution for organizations of any size."

Compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3

Users will be able to display a sophisticated menu tree compatible with the
Lotus 1-2-3 menu tree, allowing them to switch without learning new menu
commands, yet harness the additional functionality available in Quattro
Pro. In addition, built-in Lotus 1-2-3 keystroke macro compatibility
allows users to run Lotus 1-2-3 macros from within Quattro Pro. A Lotus
Macro Translation Assistant ships with the new Quattro Pro update to
assist users in converting Lotus 1-2-3 keystroke macros to Quattro Pro
macro commands.

Other Enhancements

The new update also includes the Block Navigator which allows users to
easily navigate named ranges in a spreadsheet with the click of a button.
A new multi-currency formatting capability lets users display multiple
currencies per page, eliminating confusion when working with worksheets or
budgets prepared in various countries. This feature is especially useful
for companies consolidating information from different regions.
