Novell and IVY International Communications, Inc. Announce New Publishing
Partnership

OREM, Utah -- September 7, 1995 -- Novell, Inc. announced today the
formation of a new publishing partnership and the spin-off of its
magazines division, which publishes WordPerfect Magazine, WordPerfect for
Windows Magazine, and other end user-oriented publications.

After careful consideration of several prospective buyers, Novell
structured a management buyout of the magazine division's operations.

The new owners have formed IVY International Communications, Inc., which
will maintain its international presence with offices in both Orem, Utah
and the U.K. IVY will continue to publish WordPerfect Magazine,
WordPerfect for Windows Magazine, and other printed and electronic
publications and products. The company will also pursue and promote
additional solutions for the marketplace.

In addition, the two companies are pleased to announce that IVY will
function as Novell's preferred publishing partner for magazines related to
its personal productivity line of software applications.

According to Marcus Kaufman, Novell's director of corporate publications,
"This is a smart business move which will enable Novell to focus
specifically on its core competencies as one of the world's technology
leaders. We can do what we're best at--creating software that can connect
people anytime, anyplace--while partnering with a company that is already
providing exceptional value for our end users. The spin-off makes good
sense because it allows both entities to fully focus on specific areas of
strength."

Craig Woolley, former Novell magazine division director and now president
of IVY, is quick to agree. "We've enjoyed being a profitable part of
Novell but are ready to re-emerge as a separate company and rekindle our
entrepreneurial fires. Novell will remain a central part of what we do and
what we produce, but from a different focus. IVY will now be a preferred
publishing partner of Novell, and as such we will work independently
through our publications to provide the information that Novell end users
need. Novell can simplify its business practices by focusing instead on
meeting users' software needs."

As a preferred publishing partner of Novell, IVY will help Novell attain
its marketing goals by showing end users how to use existing Novell
products more effectively. IVY will also help Novell promote new products
as they become available. In return, Novell will help ensure the continued
publication of the WordPerfect magazines and the development of new
applications titles such as the PerfectOffice Newsletter. Novell will also
provide IVY access to key Novell personnel (product managers, developers,
support technicians, and so on) who can supply the critical information
that magazine subscribers need.

Subscribers to the WordPerfect magazines and other publications can expect
a smooth transition. "Throughout the spin-off process, and for the past
eight years, the division has provided uninterrupted service to both
Novell and its customers by providing top-quality magazines and
newsletters," says Woolley. "Through clearly written, easy-to-follow
articles, these publications have showed customers how to use Novell
software easier, faster and better. Neither the goals nor the dedication
will change. We'll continue to meet our customers' information needs."
