BOSTON - Athena Design, Inc. has announced a special introductory offer for
the new OS/2 version of its leading object-based spreadsheet, Mesa.

Athena Design, Inc. will offer the Mesa 2 Personal Edition spreadsheet at a
special $99 introductory price. This offer will be good for a limited time
only. The specially priced package comes with 90 days of free technical
support via electronic mail or fax, and a discount on future upgrades.
Users can take advantage of the special introductory offer by calling
1-800-315-MESA. Personal Edition users who want to have the Mesa 2 users'
manual available in addition to the on-line help may order the printed
copy from Athena Design for an additional $19.95.

Mesa 2 is a powerful, full-featured, 32-bit, native OS/2 spreadsheet
application. It takes advantage of OS/2 features, including SOM, OpenDoc
(when available), multi-threading and the Object-Oriented User Interface.
In addition, Mesa 2 will include an object library so that customers can
integrate Mesa objects into their own line-of-business applications.

The offer provides OS/2 customers with an opportunity to experiment with
the first spreadsheet on the market to compete with Lotus 1-2-3. Athena
Design, Inc. President David Pollak comments that "We've been out in the
marketplace listening to customers and hearing what they're saying about
their spreadsheet needs and how the current offerings meet their needs. We
think there's a significant opportunity here for a real, native OS/2
spreadsheet. By shipping our object library, we're delivering more than a
traditional spreadsheet, we're also delivering a tool that can be easily
integrated into mission-critical custom applications."

Athena Design will also offer the Mesa 2 Enterprise Edition for corporate
users (suggested retail price: $499). The Enterprise Edition provides
increased functionality and features for enterprise users, including a
special adapter that allows Mesa to access SQL databases, an enhanced
object library, a floating license manager and telephone technical
support.

Athena Design, Inc. currently sells the best-selling spreadsheet for the
NEXTSTEP platform. Like its NEXTSTEP counterpart, Mesa 2 for OS/2 features
real-time data feed capabilities and MOLI - the Mesa Object Library
Interface.
