NEW YORK, (JAN. 4) PR NEWSWIRE - Commodore International Limited (NYSE: CBU)
announced today the appointment of James Dionne as general manager of its
U.S. sales company, succeeding Harold Copperman, who has been appointed vice
president of Commodore International Limited, with new responsibilities
including Amiga multimedia strategies.
   Dionne has been with Commodore eleven years, most recently as general
manager of Commodore's Canadian sales subsidiary.  Copperman joined
Commodore in 1989.
   Commodore also announced a reduction was being made in the manpower of
U.S. operations, primarily in the areas of administrative and factory
overhead.  This action is partly due to the reorganization of certain
functions and is expected to result in improved operating efficiency.
   Commodore International Limited, through its operating subsidiaries
around the world, manufactures and markets personal computers to customers
in the consumer, education, professional and government market sectors.  The
company has three product lines:  Amiga multimedia computers, PC compatibles
and C64 computers.
