THINK Technologies today announced it is merging with Symantec Corporation.
Symantec is best known in the IBM PC world for its innovative natural-
language database software, Q & A.  Symantec also recently merged with
Living Videotext, the makers of ThinkTank and MORE.  THINK will operate
as a division of Symantec.

I want to assure everyone that this does not signal a change in product
direction for THINK.  In fact, quite the contrary.  Programming language
environments and desktop communications will remain the main focus of
our business, and our charter will be to maintain and expand our
position in the Macintosh market.  The mergers reflect Symantec's
determination to be a major player on the Mac.

There is particular interest at Symantec in the programming language
market.  Gordon Eubanks, Symantec's CEO, was the author of CBASIC and
later became VP of Programming Languages at Digital Research.  And Spencer
Leyton, Executive VP of Business Development at Symantec, was until very
recently VP of Sales and Business Development at Borland International.

The transition will take place with as little upheaval as possible.
THINK's development organization, including Quality Assurance and Customer
Support, will remain at our current site in Bedford, Massachusetts.
Andrew Singer, THINK's Chairman and VP of Engineering, will be General
Manager of the THINK division of Symantec, reporting to Spencer Leyton.

We're very excited about becoming part of Symantec.  With the greater
resources of Symantec behind us, we will be better able to provide
the high level of product quality and service to which we aspire.
