PRESS RELEASE

Metro Link Ships Metro Motif Complete! For Intel's New ItaniumT Processor

Ft. Lauderdale, FL January 31, 2001 -- Metro Link, a leader in graphical
display software for high performance Linux systems, is now shipping Metro
Motif Complete! for Intel's new ItaniumT processor.  Metro Motif Complete!
will allow users of high-powered graphics programs to work in a
free-software Linux environment rather than in proprietary environments.

Metro Motif Complete! was specifically developed for Intel by Metro Link to
be consistent with the standards of the Itanium processor family Linux
Project, which was started in May 1999 with the goal of creating a Linux
port for the Itanium-based platform that would be available to the Open
Source community at or before the Itanium processor platform release.  The
Itanium processor family Linux Project includes representatives from Caldera
Systems, CERN, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Intel, Linuxcare, NEC, Red Hat, SGI,
SuSE, TurboLinux, and VA Linux Systems.

Metro Motif Complete! provides Itanium-based platform customers with one of
the most stable and popular toolkits for building graphical applications on
the Itanium-based platform with Linux and soon on IBM's AIX 5L "Monterey
Project" operating system. IBM, SCO and Intel embarked on "Project Monterey"
, a cooperative effort to create an open, flexible enterprise UNIX platform
with broad-based support for the Itanium-based platform.  AIX 5L is the next
generation of AIX, offering a strong affinity with Linux, and extending the
AIX enterprise strengths to the Intel Itanium processor architecture. Metro
Motif Complete! and AIX 5L will offer common technologies and application
development environments to help get the most mileage from the application
development investment.

AIX 5L has been the key focus of Project Monterey. With AIX 5L, developers
now have a UNIX operating system that brings the enterprise strengths of
IBM's UNIX operating system (AIX) to the Intel Itanium-based platform,
complemented by technologies from SCO's UnixWare and IBM's DYNIX/ptx
operating systems. In addition, AIX 5L's strong Linux affinity increases the
operating system's flexibility and growth potential.

Metro Motif Complete!, a popular product from Metro Link on many hardware
and software platforms, includes three versions of Motif (1.2.4, 2.0.1, and
2.1.30) on one CD and allows for multiple development environments on a
single machine. The graphical installation process also allows the user to
mix and match modules of the various versions.

"The Itanium-based platform with Linux is a perfect combination of
processing power and scalability that will revolutionize the high-end
workstation, scientific visualization, multi-media, animation and graphics
markets," said Morgan Von Essen, Metro Link President and CEO.  "Metro
Link's Motif software code has long been 64-bit clean and provides a mission
critical, proven toolkit to build complex graphics applications."

The availability of Motif for the Itanium processor will make customer
migration to this new platform much easier.  Programs written for other
UNIX-like operating systems for use on other processors will be able to run
virtually unchanged on the Itanium-based Linux operating system. Tremendous
amounts of re-engineering time can be avoided.
