AUTOICON FOR WINDOWS GIVES AUTOCAD REALTIME PERFORMANCE 
Utility also adds features to enhance editing, configurability

ATLANTA (October 9, 1992) -- Expert Graphics has introduced AutoIcon for
Windows, a utility that substantially speeds up the popular AutoCAD for
Windows Extension and provides real-time panning and zooming.

AutoIcon for Windows takes full advantage of the Microsoft Windows graphic
environment, including drop-down menus, icons and movable child windows.
AutoIcon also includes numerous features to make editing easier within
popular computer-aided design programs, including "bird's-eye-view,"
"magnified cursor" and customizable pop-up icons. In fact, the entire user
interface is highly configurable.

"Bird's-eye-view" is a child window that provides an overview of the entire
image when the user has zoomed into a portion of it. 'Magnified cursor'
provides an enhanced view of the immediate area around the cursor. And the
customizable pop-up icons include on-screen help that reference the icon
to AutoCAD commands.

"The AutoCAD for Windows Extension has received excellent reviews, but many
have complained about its relative lack of performance. In fact, informal
tests by PC Magazine (May 12, 1992) indicated it took four times as long
to re-draw the famous AutoCAD fire hose nozzle than the DOS version," said
Darrell Knight, president of Expert Graphics. "AutoIcon for Windows
enhances performance so much that users can pan and zoom in real time,
substantially increasing productivity. For example, the nozzle can be
drawn 25 times faster with AutoIcon for Windows than the regular DOS
Version."

The release of AutoIcon for Windows marks a new strategic direction for the
Atlanta-based company. Previously, Expert Graphics focused on the high-end
graphics board market -- especially in the engineering market -- but is
broadening its appeal with a range of graphics software products based on
the Windows graphic environment.

AutoIcon for Windows is compatible with both Windows 3.0 and 3.1. It
requires a RASTEREX graphics board or any graphics board that supports the
Texas Instruments TIGA interface -- normally any board based on the Tl
34010 or Tl 34020 graphics processors. These include Hercules, Number 9
GXi, Artist XJS, NDI Volante and similar boards.

AutoIcon for Windows retails for $595, and is available from RASTEREX
dealers nationwide. Upgrade pricing is available for existing RASTEREX
users. Site licensing is also available.
