 the "most promising newcomer" in its annual issue                              
 recognizing PC industry achievements.                                          
                                                                                
 "There is a tremendous groundswell of support building                         
 for OS/2 and this recognition from three top PC industry                       
 publications is a true measure of the continued popularity                     
 and momentum for the product," said Lee Reiswig, assistant                     
 general manager, IBM Personal Software Products.  "We are                      
 both honored and pleased that these respected publications                     
 have evaluated the power and versatility of OS/2 2.0 and                       
 awarded us with top honors."                                                   
                                                                                
 OS/2 2.0 is an advanced 32-bit operating system that                           
 supports DOS, Windows and OS/2 applications in a single                        
 package.  This platform offers true, preemptive multitasking                   
 -- allowing concurrent execution of multiple software                          
 programs -- and enables users to choose from tens of
