                               NETMANAGE BID CO.

                        NOTICE OF COMPULSORY ACQUISITION

TO:       The holders of common shares of Simware Inc. (the "Corporation") who
          did not accept the offer dated October 1, 1999 (the "Offer") by
          NetManage Bid Co. (the "Offeror") to purchase all the outstanding
          common shares of the Corporation.

AND TO:   The Director appointed under section 260 of the Canada Business
          Corporations Act (the "Act").

     On October 1, 1999 the Offeror mailed to all holders of common shares
("Common Shares") of the Corporation an Offer to purchase all outstanding Common
Shares for U.S. $8.75 cash per share. The Offer expired at midnight (New York
city time) on October 29, 1999.

     Holders of Common Shares holding more than 90% of the outstanding Common
Shares accepted the Offer (the "Accepting Offerees"). The Offeror has taken up
and paid for all Common Shares of the Accepting Offerees.

     The Offeror intends to exercise its right under section 206 of the Act to
acquire Common Shares not purchased by it under the Offer.

     Pursuant to paragraph 206(8)(c) of the Act, those holders of Common Shares
who have not accepted the Offer (the "Dissenting Offerees") are hereby required
to elect:

     (a)  to transfer their Common Shares to the Offeror for a purchase price of
          U.S. $3.75 cash per Common Share and otherwise on the terms on which
          the Offeror acquired the Common Shares of the Accepting Offerees; or

     (b)  to demand payment of the fair value of the Common Shares in accordance
          with subsection 206(9) to 206(18) of the Act by notifying the Offeror
          within 20 days after receipt of this notice.

     Enclosed with this Notice of Compulsory Acquisition is an Election form,
which, if completed and returned to ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. at
one of the addresses set forth below, will constitute notice to the Offeror of
your election.

     A Dissenting Offeree who does not notify the Offeror of his or her
election in accordance with paragraph (b) above within 20 days after receipt of
this notice will be deemed to have elected to transfer his or her Common Shares
to the Offeror on the same terms on which the Offeror acquired the Common
Shares from the Accepting Offerees.

     Regardless of his or her election, a Dissenting Offeree is required by the
Act to send all certificates representing Common Shares to the Corporation
within 20 days after receipt of this notice.

     The enclosed Election form indicating your election under paragraph (a) or
(b) above should be mailed or delivered to the Offeror and all certificates
representing Common shares of the Corporation, must be mailed or delivered to
the Corporation regardless of which alternative of (a) and (b) above you elect,
