                   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


              Warp Expo West selects show site


  Site selection has been completed for this September's 
"Warp Expo West - A Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement".

  "We wanted the perfect site," said Steve Schiffman, one 
of the show planners for the September show, "and I'm 
pleased to announce that the beautiful Chapman Conference 
Facilities in Orange, California will be the site of this 
year's Warp Expo West."

  "We chose Chapman over a number of other bidders for 
several reasons," explained Schiffman.  "First of all, 
Chapman offers prime facilities for the OS/2 lectures, 
seminars, software demonstrations and vendor exhibits that 
guests will enjoy during the show.  And it's centrally 
located, within two miles of four different freeways with 
easy access to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), 
Ontario International Airport (ONT) and a number of other 
airports."

  "Further," continued Schiffman, "Chapman is only four 
miles from Disneyland which means that guests will have a 
wide variety of options for lodging and family activities.  
In fact, we expect that many Warp Expo West showgoers will 
spend an extra day with their families enjoying Southern 
California's attractions, beaches, culture and people."

  A formal announcement of the exact date and other details 
for Warp Expo West is expected this Saturday at the monthly 
meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG).  
(SCOUG is sponsoring Warp Expo West.)

  "Since last week when we released the first information 
on Warp Expo West, the response has been overwhelming" said 
Carla Hanzlik, a member of the Warp Expo West planning 
committee and Editor of the monthly publication OS/2 For 
You.  "We've been contacted repeatedly by OS/2 users from 
everywhere wanting to know how to exhibit, how to speak, 
and how to register for the event.  We'll have complete 
information for everyone this Saturday, now that our show 
site is confirmed."  Hanzlik further said that she was 
feverishly working on the design of Warp Expo West web 
pages "which we'll put on line this Saturday."

  Rollin White, head of the Warp Expo West planning 
committee and a veteran OS/2 showman, had this additional 
statement:  "We started Warp Expo West with just an idea, 
and already we have the site, the plan, and the team to 
smoothly carry it out.  OS/2 is the most robust and 
powerful desktop operating system in the world today; no 
competitor's marketing machine or business practices can 
change that fact; and we look forward to welcoming OS/2 
users from all over the world to our Warpfest Of OS/2 
Excitement - Warp Expo West."
