                    Survival Guide Wins Top Honors
                 ____________________________________
 
The Essential Client/Server Survival Guide by Orfali, Harkey and
Edwards won the Jolt Award for best computer book of 1994.  This
annual award is given by a team of Miller Freeman editors and
columnists to products that "jolt" the industry with their
significance.  The award is co-sponsored by Software Development
magazine and Jolt Cola, a high-caffeine, high-sugar soft drink known to
be popular with programmers working late at night.  Award winners
receive a trophy -- a can of Jolt Cola encased in lucite.
 
Essential Client/Server Survival Guide was published by Van Nostrand
Reinhold in 1994 (ISBN 0-442-01941-6, IBM SR28-5572, 495 pages, $25).
The book provides a "gentle guide" to client/server and distributed
objects.  An extended version of the book is "Client/Server Survival
Guide with OS/2" (ISBN 0-442-01798-7, IBM SR28-5494, 970 pages, $40).
 
Miller Freeman, Van Nostrand Reinhold and the authors are members of
IBM's Independent Vendor League (IVL).  The IVL supports individuals
and companies who develop and market books, newsletters, magazines,
training videos, courseware and consulting services for OS/2 and other
IBM personal software products.
