AGE LOGIC ANNOUNCES INDUSTRY'S FIRST 32-BIT X WINDOW SOFTWARE FOR MICROSOFT
WINDOWS

San Diego, CA. December 1, 1992 - AGE Logic, Inc. (AGE) announced
XoftWare/32 for Windows, the industry's first 32-bit X Window server
software for 386/486 Microsoft Windows-based PCs. Based on MIT's newest
X11R5 server code, XoftWare/32 for Windows provides users the ability to
concurrently run and display Microsoft Windows and network-based Unix
applications on the same PC. XoftWare/32 for Windows also offers many new
user-oriented features such as XoftStart, RAPID, CascadeX, MPSS, Automatic
Font Substitution (AFS ), and AGE's Color Map Reservation System.
Shipments will begin in early January 1993.

"XoftWare/32 for Windows is the first MS Windows-based X server software to
take advantage of today's high performance 32-bit 386/486 microprocessor
technology," said Craig A. Schmidt, vice president of marketing for AGE.
XoftWare/32 for Windows optimizes X performance by making use of many
32-bit related features. These include extended direct memory addressing,
increased maximum request size to 256Kbytes, full use of the 386/486
32-bit bus architecture, and optimal use of the 386/486 32-bit instruction
set. "XoftWare/32 for Windows brings 32-bit performance to PC-based X," he
commented.

MIT's newest X11R5 server technology is incorporated into XoftWare/32 for
Windows. Product reliability and performance have been increased through
XoftWare/32 for Windows' optimization of internal X server algorithms. By
including X11R5 Font Server support, direct access to host-resident fonts
is now available. Additional font support includes font scaling, numerous
75 dpi and 100 dpi local fonts, and a MS Windows-based font compiler which
converts PCF and BDF font formats to the MS Windows FON format.

XoftWare/32 for Windows offers many new features. XoftStart automates host
login and application start-up through a convenient ICON-based click &
start feature. MPSS, XoftWare/32 for Windows' Multi-Process Start-Up
System, allows multiple clients to start simultaneously. CascadeX
positions new windows using either a Microsoft-like cascading window
format or MlT's standard X geometry window format. XoftWare/32 for
Windows' RAPID System (Resource and Performance Interactive Display) lets
the user fine-tune X performance and resources by simply sliding a
graphics scale. Automatic Font Substitution (AFS) uniquely ensures
mission-critical information is displayed even if the requested font is
unavailable. XoftWare/32 for Windows' unique Color Map Reservation System
(CMRS) optionally preserves the Microsoft Windows color map for display
clarity.

XoftWare/32 for Windows supports all industry leading networks. In
addition, a bundled version of Novell's TCP/IP networking software and
XoftWare/32 for Windows is also available. A unique one-button
installation loads and configures Novell's TCP/IP and XoftWare/32 for
Windows. Start-up time is minimized plus favorable pricing makes this an
attractive option.

XoftWare/32 for Windows is priced at $495 (US). XoftWare/32 for Windows
with Novell's TCP/lP included is priced at $595 (US). AGE is including a
coupon for a free XoftWare/32 for Windows upgrade in all shipments of the
current 1.6 version of XoftWare for Windows beginning December 1, 1992.
