1.                   OS/2 WARP NOW AVAILABLE ON COMPAQ SERVERS
 
OS/2 Warp, IBM TCP/IP 2.0, and the market-leading application server,
LAN Server 4.0, are now available on Compaq Computer Corporation's
SmartStart version 2.3. SmartStart is Compaq's method of distributing,
installing and optimizing industry standard operating systems on
Compaq servers to ensure a reliable and supportable configuration.
 
"Compaq and IBM are working together to provide customers with a
convenient solution that best meets their installation, configuration
and integration requirements," said Jeff Erramouspe, director of
software marketing, Compaq Systems Division.  "This commitment 
to offer OS/2 products on Compaq servers illustrates our interest 
in integrating a wide selection of optimized platforms for our customers."
 
SmartStart ships with Compaq ProLiant and ProSignia servers.  The
SmartStart CD-ROM package contains encrypted operating systems and
software which can be unlocked simply by purchasing activation keys
from Compaq.  Software purchased from Compaq through SmartStart is
competitively priced with software purchased from other vendors.

2.                   OS/2 WARP NETS BRAZILIAN CONSUMERS
 
At FENASOFT, a very large software show held in July in Brazil,
700,000 visitors were exposed to one product in virtually every stand:
OS/2 Warp.
 
Empty boxes of OS/2 Warp were given free-of-charge to all participants
for display in their stands, resulting in very high OS/2 visibility.
We sold 5000 copies of OS/2 Warp during the 5-day show.
 
The IBM stand at FENASOFT had continuously running IAK sessions and
attendees were allowed to surf the Internet for free.  Throughout the
five-day event, the IBM stand was always full of Brazilian consumers
eager to use the Internet Access Kit and OS/2 Warp.
