[Ron Jackson]

  Novell said Monday that Attachmate Corp.--which is owned by an 
investment group led by Francisco Partners, Golden Gate Capital and 
Thoma Bravo--will buy it for $6.10 a share in cash, a 9.1% premium to 
Friday's closing price. 



  The company also agreed to sell some intellectual property assets to 
CPTN Holding LLC, a consortium of tech companies organized by Microsoft 
Corp. (MSFT), for $450 million, part of the takeover's total price tag.
