FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


               Compaq Announces Successful Tender Offer for
                           NetWorth Acquisition



     HOUSTON, December 11, 1995 - Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ)
announced today that 7,232,236 shares, or approximately 91 percent of the
outstanding shares of NetWorth, Inc. (NASDAQ: NWTH), were tendered for
$42.00 per share in cash in response to its tender offer which closed on
December 8, 1995, based upon a preliminary count by Citibank, N.A., the
depositary. "We are very pleased with the large number of shares tendered
and look forward to integrating NetWorth into our business," said Gary
Stimac, senior vice president and general manager, Compaq Systems Division.
These shares (which include 319,449 shares subject to guarantees of
delivery or receipt of additional documentation) will be purchased in
accordance with the terms of the offer.

     Compaq will merge NetWorth into Compaq-Dallas, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary. The merger is expected to be completed before the end of 1995.

     Any shares of NetWorth common stock not tendered and purchased
pursuant to the tender offer or otherwise owned by Compaq will be converted
into the right to receive $42.00 per share in cash.


     Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Irving, Texas and San Jose,
California, NetWorth is a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of
Fast Ethernet hubs, switches and related products.  Following the merger,
Compaq will focus on integrating NetWorth into its internetworking products
business. "The acquisition of NetWorth and Thomas-Conrad (which Compaq
purchased on November 17) represents the rapid fulfillment of Compaq's
promise to deliver a complete line of internetworking products.  These
acquisitions accelerate the evolution of Compaq from a PC company to a full
service computer company," said Eckhard Pfeiffer, president and chief
executive officer of Compaq Computer Corporation.
