PERFECTOFFICE 3.0 WINS FIRST PLACE IN SUITE SHOOTOUT

PerfectOffice Preferred by 2 out of 3 Users in Five U.S. Cities

OREM, Utah -- July 11, 1995 -- Novell, Inc. today announced that
PerfectOffice 3.0, its desktop applications suite, was chosen over
Microsoft Office and Lotus SmartSuite by two out of three attendees at a
recent Software Suites SuperStars Forum. The Forum was sponsored by ASAP
Software Express, one of the country's largest and fastest-growing
resellers of PC software, serving more than 20,000 corporate and
government customers nationwide. PerfectOffice was the overwhelming first
place winner in each of the forums in five major U.S. cities: Boston, St.
Louis, Los Angeles, Stamford and Chicago. Representatives from Novell,
Microsoft and Lotus were invited to participate and highlight benefits of
their respective suites.

This recent suite shootout is the second round of the SuperStars Forum.
Novell's PerfectOffice also won the first round in the fall of 1994 in
four major US cities: Phoenix, Raleigh, Cincinnati and Tampa. At that
time, PerfectOffice was chosen by 6 out of 10 users in all these cities as
the best Windows suite.

The ASAP SuperStars Forum required both a compulsory and a freestyle
section. In the compulsory section, representatives were required to
discuss installation and technical support options and to demonstrate
suite benefits such as consistency, integration, OLE 2.0 compatibility and
automation tools to improve productivity. The freestyle section gave each
vendor the opportunity to showcase benefits not available in competing
suites. Based on survey results, forum attendees were particularly
impressed with the superior automation tools, network integration, OLE
support and workgroup capabilities of PerfectOffice.

PerfectOffice began shipping in January 1995 and has quickly outpaced Lotus
SmartSuite as the second best-selling suite, according to recent research
from Dataquest and PC Data.
