SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA -- In an agreement between Digital Research and
Apple Computer, Digital Research has agreed to make certain superficial
changes to three of its application programs:  "GEM Desktop", "GEM Paint",
and "GEM Draw".  Contrary to reports, the agreement does not require
changes to GEM or to Atari Corp.'s TOS operating system.

DRI, as part of its normal development process, has prepared
enhancements to its GEM appliation products which further set it apart
from the Apple Macintosh.  Atari is reviewing these changes.  Atari
promises its software developers and customers that Atari will make no
changes that will reduce the capabilities of the Atari ST system and
software.  Further, Atari promises that any enhancements will maintain
compatibility with GEM applications software on the market and in
development.

Digital Research's GEM and the applications software which uses its
capabilities will continue to provide the most powerful and easy-to-use
computer interface on the market.  The Atari 520 ST continues to be the
most powerful computer delivering these features and will continue to do
so at an affordable price.
