SAS System To Support IBM PowerPC Platform For Running OS/2

CARY, NC (June 20, 1995) - SAS Institute Inc., developer of the SAS System,
the world's leading information delivery system, today announced that its
software will support IBM's OS/2 Warp Connect (PowerPC Edition) operating
system.

"The PowerPC has emerged as a powerful workstation platform for users
looking to get the best performance possible out of their desktop or
server platform," said Lynne Harris, SAS Institute's desktop marketing
manager. "SAS software customers are particularly sensitive to
performance, and by supporting this platform, we will be able to deliver
optimized software that will provide them with some of the best
client/server and enterpise computing solutions available in the market
today.

"The SAS System' s unique MultiVendor Architecture design structure enables
our current code, without major modifications, to run under OS/2 for the
PowerPC," Harris said. "And, by supporting OS/2's 32-bit Application
Programming Interfaces, the SAS System is not only available for the Intel
marketplace, but will be poised to exploit the PowerPC architecture."

The SAS System provides organizations with tools to access, manage, analyze
and present their data within an applications development environment.
Capabilities within the SAS System include EIS, client/server computing,
database access, data warehousing, applications development, graphics,
data analysis, report writing, quality improvement, project management,
computer performance evaluation, decision support and more.

10 largest independent software companies. Since its incorporation in
1976, SAS Institute has consistently led the major software vendors in
