Obviously the reason for the re recoginition of earnings for Q3. What did the article say? It takes a year for this to filter through. Ugh! ottawacitizen.com Also here is a reply to a few questions I sent to John Hladkowicz Subject: Re: Reply Date: Thu, 27 Nov 1997 17:34:50 -0500 From: "John Hladkowicz" <johnh@COREL.CA> Regarding the $2 million plus contract, most States do not want a press release issued when a contract is signed, therefore we must oblige. We are in ongoing discussions not only with Dell but with most other PC manufacturers as well. In November we purchased almost 800,000 Corel shares as part of our stock buyback. And lastly, I am unable to comment on any insider trades, if in fact there were any, as these are reported by the insiders to the various securities commissions at the end of every month. I do not, however anticipate an announcement of that nature (ie. insiders selling large quantities of stock).

November 30, 1997 A minor nit with desktop videoconferencing systems is that users lose eye contact with the camera when they look at the video display. But CorelVideo Remote offers a feature other makers should copy: A color camera whose lens sits just above the edge of the screen. This makes a Remote user always appear attentive even when studying the display. Remote uses 128K bit/sec. ISDN but can handle high-quality video if it is used with a 384K bit/sec. ISDN connection and an optional $495 full-length Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) adapter card. The product, which can also serve as an ISDN modem, can dial in to Corel's LAN video solution but otherwise can't be used across the LAN. The ISA version, which connects to video boards via a feature connector, didn't work with our Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc. Stealth 2000 video card and will restrict other cards from running at more than 256 colors and 800-by-600 pixels mode. Most users should opt for the PCI version to avoid these limitations. The installation program was somewhat cryptic, and driver installation under Windows 95 was made more complex than it had to be, because Corel doesn't place the needed files in the root directory of the CD-ROM. The dialing program's interface is somewhat confusing. Corel entered the videoconferencing market last year and just released Version 1.1 of the Remote software. With so many minor problems in the current product, we suggest you wait for Version 2.0 before you take another serious look. www2.computerworld.com
