Digitool to Market and Support Macintosh Common Lisp, 
Provide Native Power Macintosh Version

Apple Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq-NNM: AAPL) today announced that it has licensed its
MCL development software to Digitool, Inc.  The purpose of the agreement is for
Digitool to take over future development of MCL. Digitool has agreed to provide
ongoing marketing and technical support for MCL, and to introduce next year a
Power Macintosh version of the software, which will generate native PowerPC code.

    Digitool also has agreed to continue further development of the version of MCL
for Macintosh systems based on the Motorola 680x0 processors.  Apple will continue
to offer MCL through APDA, the company's source for developer tools.

    Digitool, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a new software company formed
by the principals of Paradigm Software, Incorporated, and staffed by former
employees of Apple's MCL development team.  Digitool's MCL development effort is
partially funded by eleven corporate sponsors and MCL customers including Apple
Computer, Inc., Flavors Technology, Inc., KyTek, Inc., Lissys Ltd., and the
University of Basel.

Pricing for future versions will be announced upon product availability. Digitool
also has announced that it will provide current users with the ability to upgrade
to future versions at a reduced price.
