       SUNSOFT CONTINUES SOFTWARE MOMENTUM FOR SOLARIS 2.0

 Oracle, Frame, AutoDesk Demonstrate Applications on Solaris 2.0
       Aldus Demonstrates Persuasion Technology on Solaris
                 Lotus cc:Mail Ports to Solaris


UNIFORUM, San Francisco, Calif-- Jan. 22, 1992 -- Continuing its
software applications momentum, SunSoft today demonstrated several key
packages running on its Solaris 2.0 distributed computing solution.
Oracle, Frame, AutoDesk and several other software vendors showed their
applications, delivering on endorsements made at the Solaris launch
last September. Aldus offered a technology demonstration of Persuasion,
its desktop presentations product, running on Solaris. In addition,
Lotus cc:Mail ported its flagship application, cc:Mail, to the Solaris
solution.  All of these applications can be seen at SunSoft's booth.

SunSoft today also announced the release of CDwareTM Volume 3, a
comprehensive CD-ROM demonstration resource for Solaris applications.
CDware Volume 3 allows users to "try and buy" applications directly
from the desktop with a single phone call. The Compact Disc (CD)
contains information on 61 software products from companies including
Lotus Development Corp., Informix, SAS Institute and Clarity Software.
"Application capture is key to winning the battle for the desktop,"
said Bill Larson, vice president of marketing and sales for SunSoft.
"With today's announcements, we are broadening the Solaris application
base in the commercial desktop productivity arena

Smooth Migration Path for Developers Software vendors in SunSoft's
booth are demonstrating their applications on the Early Access version
of Solaris 2.0. Early Access is part of a four-phase Solaris 2.0
delivery program that began in 1991 when the company released developer
copies of Solaris 2.0 on the SPARC platform to key customers. The
second phase was completed in October when SunSoft began shipping the
first two components of Solaris 2.0: DeskSetTM Version 3 and
OpenWindowsTM Version 3. Today's product demonstrations will be
followed by SunSoft's Catalyst Solaris 2.0 Migration Program, at which
time the solution will be available to all of SunSoft's software
partners.  Applications built on Solaris 2.0 for SPARC today will be
source compatible with the Solaris 2.0 solution for the Intel platform,
allowing developers to move their applications over with a simple
recompile.

Aldus Aldus Corp., headquartered in Seattle, Wash., today showed a
technology demonstration of Persuasion, the desktop presentations
product, running on the Solaris solution. Persuasion is recognized as
one of the most popular presentation packages in the industry and has
won numerous Readers' Choice surveys and awards including the COMDEX
Spring `91 Shootout award, Highest Rating Desktop Presentation Product
(Macintosh) from Software Digest, Best Presentation Product (PC) from
Infoworld, and the Best Presentation Product (Macintosh) from PCWeek.

Lotus cc:Mail Lotus cc:Mail, headquartered in Mountain View, Calif.,
has ported its flagship application, cc:Mail, to the Solaris solution.
Called the cc:Mail OPEN LOOK Platform Pack, the product allows e-mail
users to communicate across DOS, OS/2, Windows, Macintosh and UNIX
platforms.  The cc:Mail OPEN LOOK Platform Pack incorporates the OPEN
LOOK graphical user interface standard, and resides on the computer
desktop with the Solaris Mail Tool.  According to an IDC study
completed in September, 1991, cc:Mail is the leading e-mail application
for heterogeneous networks and currently has over 1 million users.
"The UNIX client port to Solaris is a direct response to customer
demand," said Eric Hahn, vice president and general manager of Lotus
cc:Mail. "The existing cc:Mail installed base wanted to include UNIX
desktops in their heterogeneous e-mail networks, and the cc:Mail OPEN
LOOK Platform Pack will allow Solaris users to communicate with DOS and
Macintosh users."

CDware Volume 3 The CD contains interactive demonstrations and
unlockable software that can be purchased directly from the desktop.
SunSoft's Catalyst Catalog, containing information on more than 3,400
SPARC-based software products, is also included. Product categories
represented on CDware include document/image management and graphics,
desktop applications, CASE, CAD and electronic publishing.  CDware also
features an on-line product literature request facility and
registration support via e-mail.  To receive product and subscription
information for CDware Volume 3, please call 1-800-688-9704, ext. 310.
Inquiries from outside the United States and Canada can be faxed to
303-297-3664.
