PACIFIC SOFTWORKS STRATEGICALLY ALIGNS MANAGEMENT


NEWBURY PARK, CA  December 1, 1999  Pacific Softworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PASW)
today announced a management reorganization to enhance the Company's positioning
in the rapidly growing market for internetworking technology and to improve the
utilization of its assets and competencies.  Glenn Russell, Chairman of the
Board of Pacific Softworks, will spearhead the strategic effort.

"Pacific has always been an innovator of embedded internetworking technologies,
said Russell.  "Dramatic changes in the embedded and Internet marketplace, such
as Red Hat's recent entry into our embedded market with the Open Source business
model, are now driving us to rethink our strategic options in not only our
technologies and competencies, but also in our business models."

In support of this initiative, the Board of Directors has appointed William E.
Sliney, Pacific's Chief Financial Officer, as interim President and Chief
Operating Officer.  With Sliney assuming operating responsibility for  Pacific,
Russell will focus on the Company's strategic interests.  Sliney  joined Pacific
Softworks in April of 1999.  Prior to that, he was the Chief Financial Officer
of Legacy Software, Inc., from 1995 to 1999, and from 1993 to 1994, he was Chief
Executive Officer for Gumps.

In addition, the Board of Directors approved the allocation of up to 1.5
million performance warrants as incentive to strategic advisors to support
Russell's  efforts.  Tied to results, these warrants are to vest only if
Pacific's common  stock trades at $10.00 or better.
