FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


VENDOR SHIPS PC EMULATOR AND MACOS LIBRARY FOR APOKALYPSE

MIAMI, FL -- Sept 1, 1998 --  Computer users who have wanted to take 
advantage of the advanced security features and new software available 
for Linux-based systems such as Apokalypse(tm) but didn't want to leave 
their PC or Macintosh software behind don't have long to wait until they 
can run all three in the same environment. Al Guerra Enterprises, Inc. 
announced that it has begun shipping early versions of its compatibility 
packages.

PC/ET(tm) is a PC emulator that emulates hardware and software. 
McClone(tm) is a software library that provides a Macintosh-compatible 
environment. Although they are based on earlier models of the PC and 
Macintosh and are still under development, both packages are included in 
source code form on the latest pre-Apokalypse CD.

Apokalypse is a Linux-based operating system for PowerPC-based Macs and 
clones running on the Mach microkernel. Although it too is under 
development, it will offer several user-friendly enhancements while still 
providing the sophisticated features of an advanced operating system like 
Linux.

"While these packages are by no means finished, they allow hobbyist 
programmers and other interested parties to see what is being developed, 
and to modify the code to suit their personal needs" says Al Guerra, 
president of the company. "Of course we'll be providing updates as 
development continues further, but we're encouraging others to experiment 
with the code and to join in the development process just as in the 
spirit of Linux and the open-source movement."

The preliminary version of Apokalypse, dubbed pre-Apokalypse, uses the 
RedHat Installer, by RedHat Software, Inc. and is based on MkLinux DR3, a 
version of Linux developed by Apple Computer, Inc. and The Open Group and 
made freely-distributible. The CD which pre-Apokalypse is shipped on also 
contains the source code to the system, a complete X 11R6.3 
implementation with several different window managers, a complete suite 
of internet tools and servers including the Apache web server, games, 
programming tools and languages such as egcs and PERL, and the tetex 
document formatting system.

in Miami, FL and also provides technical support service plans for
