   Lynx Real-Time Systems Officially Announces its BlueCat Linux Initiative

    WHAT:                                Lynx officially announces BlueCat
                                         -- a program of complete support for
                                         Linux-based embedded operating
                                         systems.

    WHEN:                                Monday, November 29, 1999

    WHO IS LYNX?                      -- Lynx Real-Time Systems is a leading
                                         provider of real-time embedded
                                         operating systems (OS) and software.
                                      -- The Lynx OS underlies applications
                                         that require absolute reliability and
                                         millisecond response, like air
                                         traffic control systems and
                                         telecommunications switches.

    WHY BLUECAT?                      -- The overall embedded OS market is
                                         large-it accounts for 95% of the
                                         operating systems sold-and growing.
                                      -- Embedded operating systems are
                                         rapidly expanding into consumer
                                         electronics and Internet appliances.
                                      -- The universe of third-party tools and
                                         applications based on Linux is
                                         growing rapidly, shortening
                                         time-to-market and lowering
                                         development costs.
                                      -- Until BlueCat, no OS provider with
                                         Lynx Real-Time Systems' capabilities
                                         has entered the embedded OS market.
                                      -- BlueCat expands potential uses for
                                         embedded OS at both the upper and
                                         lower ends of the market.

    WHY LYNX REAL-TIME SYSTEMS?       -- Other companies are jumping on the
                                         Linux bandwagon.  Only Lynx offers
                                         over a decade of experience and
                                         world-class development, sales and
                                         support organizations.
                                      -- BlueCat is a natural extension of
                                         Lynx's commitment to open standards.
                                      -- The Lynx solution is available now!

    WHO HAS ENDORSED THE INITIATIVE?  -- Endorsers include Hewlett-Packard,
                                         Motorola, Metro Link, ObjecTime,
                                         ParaSoft and Trillium Digital
                                         Systems.
