Intergraph - Bringing Technology Into Focus for Olympus

DESKTOP WORKSTATION WITH 27-INCH DISPLAY MONITOR ANNOUNCED

Chicago, July 28, 1992 - At Siggraph '92 in Chicago, Intergraph is
demonstrating the CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing)
industry's first affordable desktop workstation with a 27" monitor.
Previously, these high resolution monitors were only available with
Intergraph's deskside workstations.

"Intergraph was the first company to offer 27" 2 million pixel
technology, and it remains the only company offering these high
resolution displays in entry level systems configurations,"
said Bruce Imsand, executive vice president, Intergraph.

Also being shown at Booth #939 is the utilization of Intergraph's
integrated application environment by Olympus Optical, to streamline
the design of its Infinity Stylus camera.  Both demonstrations
illustrate how one data set can be used across multiple disciplines --
from concept to finished product -- with no translations required.

Intergraph focuses technology to bring its users total integration
across design, visualization, engineering manufacturing, and electronic
publishing. One data set can be shared across complex assembly
modeling, drafting and documentation of models, engineering data
management, structural analysis, mechanism analysis, as well as
advanced manufacturing operations.  Additionally, visualization
and electronic publishing products fit neatly into the production
cycle, fully integrating photo-realistic rendering, 3D animation,
and literature production with engineering modeling.  Intergraph
automates the entire process of bringing a product to market, from
initial concept to production.

INTERPRO 2430-332

Priced at $23,500, Intergraph's InterPro 2430-332 offers these
features as standard:

o  C400 RISC Microprocessor - 36 MIPS, 33 SPECmarks, 10 MFLOPS
(double-precision)

o  27" monitor - 2 megapixel resolution (1664 x 1248)

o  GT+ Graphics - double-buffered performance:
- 8-bit double-buffered color (256 colors)
- 800,000 2D vectors per second

o  32 MB ECC main memory (expandable to 128 MB) and 426 MB
hard disk (expandable to 4.4 GB)

o  All Intergraph applications are immediately available to run
on the InterPro 2430-332

The InterPro 2430-332 is available for immediate shipment.

BASE MEMORY OF C400 WORKSTATIONS INCREASED TO 32 MB

In addition to the IP2430-332, all orders for C400 desktop and
deskside workstations are being shipped with a base memory of
32 MB, an increase of 16 MB of main memory at no additional
charge.

INTERGRAPH ADOPTS ASTER*X AS CORPORATE OFFICE AUTOMATION
SOLUTION

Huntsville, Ala./Westboro, Mass., July 28, 1992 - Integraph Corp. and
Applix, Inc. today announced the signing of a sales and distribution
agreement under which Intergraph will resell Applix's Aster*xTM
Office Integration software to its customers.  Intergraph will
initially demonstrate Aster*x in its booth at SIGGRAPH 1992,
Chicago.

Intergraph is adopting Aster*x as its primary corporate office
automation systems for Intergraph and Sun platforms.  Aster*x will
be available on the Intergraph platform in this quarter 1992.

In addition, Aster*x will become Intergraph's internally used
office automation product.  Aster*x offers a robust suite of applications
that gives users the ability to create, edit and share information
in different formats across networks of Intergraph workstations, X-based
workstations, PCs and Macintosh computers.  Executives at Intergraph
estimate that 3,000 of the company's employees will use Aster*x on
a daily basis.

"Aster*x, with its graphical base and flexible open systems environ-
ment, is a strategic software offering that serves as the perfect
complement to Intergraph's graphically-oriented design solutions,"
said Rob Glasier, vice president, marketing, Intergraph.  "One of
the main reasons we chose Aster*x is its ability to integrate with
Looking Glass, support standard and emerging technologies and therefore,
meet the evolving needs of Intergraph's customers and employees now
and in the future."

Applix Executive Vice President Richard Davis said, "Intergraph's
selection of Aster*x as a primary software offering will assist
thousands of Intergraph users worldwide.  It also will further
solidify Intergraph's position as a leading provider of innovative
workstation and UNIX software solutions."

"With UNIX-based office solutions in high demand by commercial and
engineering workstation users, the availability of Aster*x is
clearly a win-win situation for Intergraph and its customers,"
Davis said.

ASTER*X FEATURES

Aster*x offers advanced word processing, spreadsheet, integrated
graphics, mail and filter packs for easy import and export of
files.  Its flexibility is markedly enhanced by its extension
language facility (ELF), which users can employ to effortlessly
customize Aster*x and integrate or live link it with a wide
variety of third-party products.  Aster*x will link seamlessly
to Intergraph products with special filters and interfaces
designed through the joint development efforts of Intergraph
and Applix developers.

Intergraph will sell and support Aster*x directly as part of its
systems software product line.  It plans an aggressive upgrade
promotion to its installed customer base, featuring a demonstration
CD, direct mail, and promotional materials.
