SOMERS, N.Y., Feb. 21, 1996 . . . IBM announced today a worldwide software
tour designed to update customers and channel partners on IBM's software and
service offerings, including Internet solutions and collaborative computing.
The 1996 IBM Software Tour will give customers, free of charge, a first-hand
look at how they can extend their existing systems with network-centric and
workgroup computing applications that are available today, including Lotus
Notes*.
Beginning this month, IBM will bring to 200 cities a one-day course that will
include demonstrations of data management, systems management, transaction
