Business Wire, April 4, 1997

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 1997--Attachmate(r) Corporation today announced that EXTRA!(r) Office Client 6.2, EXTRA! Bundle for TCP/IP 6.2, EXTRA! for Windows(r) 95 and Windows NT(r) 6.2, EXTRA! for SNA Server 6.2, and RALLY!(r) for AS/400(r) 6.2 enterprise host access products have received the new Microsoft(r) Designed for Windows NT and Windows 95 logo certification.

The Designed for Windows NT and Windows 95 logo is verification that the software works seamlessly with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. The certification process for software and the criteria by which it is judged is much more rigorous than the Designed for Microsoft Windows 95 logo due to the advanced functionality of Windows NT 4.0.

Logo certification was developed by Microsoft to ensure users that software products were designed for Windows NT and Windows 95 platforms. The easily identifiable logo indicates that the product takes full advantage of the features and functionality of Microsoft's 32-bit operating systems. By earning the Microsoft certifications, EXTRA! increases end-user productivity, decreases support and help desk calls, and reduces the overall cost of ownership.

"Many of Attachmate and Microsoft's customers use the Designed for Microsoft Windows NT & Windows 95 logo certification as criteria in the evaluation of their Windows NT products. Customers understand that adherence to the Windows logo standards helps their organizations reduce the Total Cost of Ownership of PCs by ensuring a common desktop experience that lowers software support costs and reduces training," said John Temple, Product Manager, Microsoft Corporation.

EXTRA! allows users to work the way they want in order to access their mission-critical data and applications. From products optimized for single connectivity and single-host access to multi- host solutions and beyond, there's an EXTRA! host connectivity solution designed to fully meet customers' enterprise access needs.
