THIRD ANNUAL NEXTSTEP EXPO IN SAN FRANCISCO

NeXT to launch Enterprise Objects(tm) Framework

REDWOOD CITY, CA-March 7, 1994-NeXT Computer, Inc. and Digital
Consulting, Inc. today announced that the third annual
NEXTSTEP(tm) Expo (formerly NeXTWORLD Expo(tm)) will be held at
the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco on June 20-23,
1994.  More than 10,000 developers and users from Fortune 1000 and
government organizations are expected to attend this year's Expo
which will be focused on NEXTSTEP and OpenStep(tm), the open
object-oriented application layer which NeXT and SunSoft are
driving to make the volume industry standard.

At the Expo, NeXT will announce its new Enterprise Objects(tm)
Framework, a technology that enables customers to construct true
business objects that utilize industry-standard relational
databases to provide persistent storage.  Enterprise Objects
Framework is also the industry's first framework for distributing
business objects throughout an enterprise network. Enterprise
Objects will redefine how custom business applications are
constructed and set a new benchmark for the capability and
scalability of object-oriented systems.

Steven P. Jobs, Chairman and CEO of NeXT, will give the opening
keynote address on Tuesday, June 21.  Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun
Microsystems, Inc.  will give the second day keynote on June 22.
Both are expected to address the benefits of object technology for
enterprise-wide client/server computing environments, with McNealy
discussing more specifically how OpenStep fits into Sun's
corporate strategy.

"This year's Expo promises to be larger than ever before, as the
NEXTSTEP, Solaris(tm) and PA-RISC(tm) communities converge to make
this the object-oriented event of 1994," said Steven P. Jobs,
Chairman and CEO of NeXT.  "Enterprise Objects advance
object-orientation to the next level of corporate computing.
Using Enterprise Objects, organizations can build reusable objects
that model their business information."
