IBM to Make Enhanced Migration Tool Widely Available For Faster Conversion
of WIN-32 Applications to 32-bit OS/2 Applications

NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 1994 . . . IBM today announced that it will make widely
available a new, enhanced version of One Up Corp.'s SMART, Source
Migration Analysis Reporting Toolset(R), to help developers migrate 16-bit
and 32-bit Windows(TM) applications to IBM's OS/2(R) Warp as well as other
versions of OS/2.

IBM has signed an agreement with One Up to distribute the SMART toolset,
including current and future versions. Through this agreement, IBM is
making SMART Version 2.0 generally available for the first time, giving
developers significant enhancements over earlier versions. SMART 2.0
doubles the speed of conversion efforts, resulting in tremendous time and
cost savings for developers converting to 32-bit OS/2 applications from
16-bit Windows, 32-bit Windows NT, and 32-bit applications for future
versions of Windows, as well as 16-bit OS/2 applications.

"This announcement will significantly enhance the availability of
leadership solutions for OS/2 customers," said Dave Harrington, director
of software development programs, IBM Personal Software Products. "We are
embracing the SMART technology as an integral part of our developer
support offerings to provide a significant advantage for independent and
corporate developers who want to support the OS/2 platform now."

IBM will distribute SMART 2.0 during the fourth quarter on The Developer
Connection for OS/2, a CD-ROM/newsletter subscription which ships
quarterly to thousands of application developers around the world. The
Developer Connection is the essential source for software technology,
tools and information for OS/2 development efforts. Developers who wish to
subscribe and receive the SMART toolset can call IBM at 800-6DEVCON
(800-633-8266) or at 407-982-6408. Future versions of SMART will be
distributed in the same manner.

The SMART Toolkit consists of an Analysis and Reporting Tool and a Source
Migration Tool. The Analysis and Reporting Tool measures the size of a
conversion effort and provides a roadmap for migration, typically in a
day, rather than the 6 person-month effort usually required. The Source
Migration Tool automatically converts as much as 70 percent, or more in
some cases, of the API and message code to 32-bit OS/2 code.

"Version 2.0 gives developers significantly greater flexibility," said
Richard Dews, president/CEO of One Up Corp. "This version allows users the
option to override or amend existing SMART function, as well as to build
their own migration database. This results in the automation process being
much more tailored, either dynamically or statically, to the specific
requirements of the developers' code."

In addition to distributing the toolset, IBM will support One Up's SMART
Partner Program. Through this program, those interested in the business
opportunity of providing OS/2 education, consulting and development
support can leverage One Up's migration experience to dramatically expand
the availability of OS/2 education, development support, and other
consulting offerings. For more information, call One Up at 214-620-1123 or
IBM at 407-982-6408.

IBM also announced it is withdrawing from marketing the Mirrors migration
program. One Up will continue to provide service and support for Mirrors
through Dec. 31, 1995, for current licenses. SMART now replaces Mirrors as
the recommended approach for application migration to OS/2.

One Up Corp. is a leader in application porting and migration for IBM OS/2
systems. The company has trained more than 250 companies worldwide through
classes and migration workshops, and is well known for its OS/2 education
curriculum.
