AUSTIN, TX, Dec. 20, 1994 ... IBM today announced that since OS/2* Warp's
release in November, the product has sold more than 800,000 copies
worldwide.

"We're very pleased with the pace of sales," said Dan Lautenbach, vice
president of IBM's Personal Software Products division. "Particularly as
it represents sales before the product is available in China, Japan, Korea
and Taiwan, which represent sizable market opportunities.

The customers who are buying OS/2 Warp right now are new customers--we know
this because the upgrade version to OS/2 2.11, the version of OS/2 that is
predominant in the marketplace, becomes available in January. Our
manufacturing facility is working around the clock to fill channel
reorders and to help us build inventory."
