We just signed Sears to provide MS-DOS 5.0 with 75K-150K Dauphin
notebooks for the US Navy Laphald II Contract. This is a three year
deal for MS-DOS on every system. This Contract was originally awarded
to Sears to supply Dauphin notebooks with a competing operating system.
</p>

<p>
Sears was ready to ship with a competitor, but changed to MS-DOS. Jon
Kechejian made the difference in getting these guys moved to MS-DOS--we
would not have been able to put together this deal without his help.

<p>
Thanks for a job well done.

<p>
There have been lots of things going on with Windows 3.1
marketing and OS/2 attack. Lots of mail on winsquad and
other alias. Here is a quick summary month to date.
</p>

<p>
This month, we've been super focused on continuing Windows
momentum, getting reviews right and launching corporate
account. Here are the big things we've been doing:
</p>

<p>
- PR. Two big things. Getting NSTL and Infoworld reviews
done and in our favor. Second, maintaining Windows
momentum through a series of press releases and tours,
while fudding OS/2. We just finished visits with NSTL and
trade weeklies and monthlies this week.
</p>

<p>
- Corporate Accounts. All competitive and Windows 3.1
technical white papers are now in the field including
3.1 vs. OS/2, NT vs. OS/2, Reliability, TrueType, OLE,
Multimedia, Disk Access, 3.1 Evaluation guide, 3.1
Overview. Right now, Richta is on a 200-plus site
tour presenting our test data. We have delivered OS/2 2.0 GA
test results to the field.
</p>

<p>
- Advertising. Completed two sets of Ask Patty ads. Completing
the Blue janus ads. Final results from XXCAL will be in this
weekend. Expect to easily deliver 5x faster on Mod 57's.
</p>

<p>
- Reseller. Two things here. Completion of sell-in of
