Press Release - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  Steven King, Development Manager for IBM's OS/2 Warp
Server For e-Business and WorkSpace On-Demand products, is
now a scheduled lecturer at Warp Expo West.

  King is leading the IBM team that will showcase their new
and existing e-Business products, all based on the OS/2
platform.  The team will both present seminars on these
products and demonstrate the products in the exhibit area of
the show.

  "OS/2 Warp Server For e-Business and WorkSpace On-Demand
are very key elements of the overall e-business solutions
for our customers," said King during a phone conversation
from his office in Austin, Texas.  "With that base platform
in place, we can then build a very robust e-business
solution by adding additional IBM products such as our Lotus
Domino server family, IBM WebSphere for web-based
applications, our extremely powerful DB2 database products,
our security offerings, IBM's advanced Java technology and,
of course, network computing.  I'll be showing all of this
in the presentations."

  Rollin White, Chairman of Warp Expo West, called IBM's
presence "a perfect fit" with the show's audience.  "Warp
Expo West guests want and need business solutions that will
do exactly what IBM can deliver," said White, "and at Warp
Expo West they'll be able to see these products in action,
learn how to get them installed and running, and ask
questions and discuss solutions directly with members of the
IBM development team."

  "We're developing a fully-featured web site right now for
fourth-quarter rollout," said one southern California
entrepreneur in the finance industry.  "We're using several
IBM VisualAge products plus their DB2 database, and Warp
Expo will hit at a perfect time for us because our
developers will be ready at that point to put all the pieces
together.  Having IBM right there in front of you and giving
you the direct answers you need will probably save us
several weeks of development time."

  And Terry Warren, President of The Southern California
OS/2 User Group which sponsors Warp Expo West, was also
pleased that show attendees would have this opportunity to
meet and speak with King.  "IBM continues to add value to
the OS/2 platform, the platform we have all found to be the
most stable, flexible and robust of anything in the
marketplace," said Warren.  "With Steven's and IBM's
presence at Warp Expo West, our guests will now be able to
see the IBM e-business solutions that run on top of OS/2."

  Warp Expo West is the free international OS/2 expo being
held on September 18 in southern California.  The web site
