Alameda, Calif., July 27, 1992 -- For the second time, readers of the
leading computer industry publication, Macworld, have awarded Sitka
Corporation's MacTOPS with a "World Class" award for the best networking
software, Sitka announced today. The award was determined by a selected
group of Macworld subscribers who were asked to pick their favorite
Macintosh products from a field of nearly 2,000 hardware and software
choices.

"The SitkaTOPS line of peer-to-peer networking products has enjoyed
remarkable success because of its ability to provide affordable and easy
to use networking solutions across Macintosh, IBM PC and compatible, and
Sun platforms," said Lucia Hicks-Williams, director of product marketing
for Sitka Corporation. "To be recognized again for excellence by members
of Macworld's half a million subscribers underscores the ongoing need for
cross-platform networking solutions."

Macworld will present the "World Class" award to Sitka at Macworld Expo,
Boston, on August 4, 1992.

SitkaTOPS leads the market for affordable and easy to use networking
software that allows Macintosh, PC and Sun users to integrate multiple
platforms into a single network. Over 705,000 copies of SitkaTOPS
networking software have been sold. Sitka also offers Sitka 10NET 5.0, the
leading peer-to-peer network operating system for DOS and Windows
environments.

The SitkaTOPS and 10NET 5.0 installed base will have an easy migration path
to the next generation of Sitka products based on the OpenTOPS
architecture. OpenTOPS will combine the DOS and Windows capabilities of
10NET 5.0 with the cross-platform features of MacTOPS, DosTOPS, SunTOPS
and PenTOPS. OpenTOPS will provide the ease-of-use and low cost of peer
networking plus operating system, platform and protocol independence .

Sitka Corporation, a Sun Microsystems, Inc.-owned business, was founded in
1984 and pioneered the market for cross-platform, peer-to-peer networking
products. The company markets 10NET, MacTOPS, DosTOPS, SunTOPS, PenCentral
and PenTOPS software to connect different hardware platforms and operating
systems into a single network. Headquartered in Alameda, Calif., Sitka
