NeXT'S REGISTERED DEVELOPER AND CONSULTANT PROGRAMS
POSITIVELY RECEIVED

REDWOOD CITY, CA. - September 16, 1993 - NeXT Computer, Inc. today
announced new NEXTSTEP Registered Developer and NEXTSTEP Registered
Consultant programs for third-party developers and independent
consultants in the NEXTSTEP community.  Even before the official
announcement, the company received more than 3,000 inquiries about
the programs.

The programs are aimed at facilitating the success of third-party
developers and consultants by providing technical support,
communications and co-marketing opportunities.  NEXTSTEP is the
industry-acclaimed object-oriented software available from NeXT.

"NEXTSTEP already has a large third-party community with hundreds
of products shipping on NEXTSTEP for Intel processors.  We believe
proactive technical communication and better co-marketing
opportunities are clearly the areas that best enhance a commercial
developers' experience with NEXTSTEP," said Julie Saffren, manager
of developer relations at NeXT.  "We also have gone one step
further in offering this new support to another important
constituency - NEXTSTEP consultants."



The NeXT Registered Developer Program (NRDP)

Members of the registered developer program receive discounted
pricing on NEXTSTEP software, support and education, technical
support, as well as direct communications, marketing and

The NeXT Registered Consultants Program (NRCP)

Like registered developers, members of the registered consultant
program receive discounted pricing on NEXTSTEP software, support
and education, technical support, as well as direct communications,
