               ROLLS-ROYCE CHOOSES DIGITAL'S COHESION

                    ASD/SEE FOR KEY PILOT PROJECT


MAYNARD, Mass. -- August 25, 1992 -- Digital Equipment Corporation 
has announced the winning of an award from NEI Control Systems 
Limited (NEI-CSL),  a member of the Rolls-Royce Industrial Power 
Group, to deliver a comprehensive software environment for the 
design and development of high quality, high integrity software 
systems. NEI Control Systems Limited is a division of Rolls-Royce 
specializing in the design and supply of control and instrumentation 
systems that service a wide variety of markets including defense, 
power generation, oil and petrochemical, and transportation.  
NEI-CSL conducts business on a worldwide scale, with business 
operations headquartered in Gateshead, England.
     Digital's COHESION ASD/SEE (Aerospace-Defense/Software 
Engineering Environment) is the basis for NEI's selection of Digital 
to provide a facility which is consistent with the Rolls-Royce 
Aerospace and Industrial Power Groups strategy to define a common 
environment to support the multiple software development initiatives 
currently underway.
     COHESION ASD/SEE is a component of Digital's COHESION 
environment, a comprehensive set of integrated software products and 
services for computer-aided software engineering (CASE).
Based on Digital's Network Application Support (NAS) architecture 
and designed for both VMS and UNIX platforms, the COHESION 
environment brings together multiple computing platforms, vendors, 
tools, application types, computing styles and support services for 
development projects of all sizes.
     According to Al Olsen, Digital's Software Engineering Group 
Marketing Manager, "This award signals international recognition of 
ASD/SEE as a world-class software solution. It offers our customers 
a software engineering environment that is based on a suite of tools 
selected by our customers, and represents the best in class. We are 
delighted to be working with Rolls-Royce, an organization whose name 
is synonymous with quality the world over."
     The COHESION ASD/SEE solution has proven to be very successful 
in providing a software engineering environment in the development 
of the F-22 Advanced Tactical Fighter, the United States Air Force's 
vanguard weapon for maintaining air superiority in the 21st century.  
Most of the software engineering requirements associated with the 
F-22 ATF, and other major U.S. and European programs were viewed by 
the senior management chain at NEI-CSL as being representative of 
NEI's needs.
     Stan Jones, the Managing Director of NEI-CSL, commented, "Many 
of the companies which make up the Aerospace and Industrial Power 
Groups of Rolls-Royce share a common interest in the design and 
development of high integrity software systems. The COHESION ASD/SEE 
program in the USA appeared to incorporate objectives that were 
similar to our own."  
     Jones added that the decision makers at NEI-CSL saw in COHESION 
ASD/SEE, a single source solution that offered a solid portfolio of 
services, consultation, and training, and a commitment to embrace 
standards associated with computing in a multivendor environment.
     The initial phase of the COHESION ASD/SEE installation at 
NEI-CSL is currently underway, and a joint Digital - NEI-CSL project 
team  has been established in order to ensure that the environment 
will comply with the accepted standards of the market segments in 
which NEI-CSL conducts business.
     Digital Equipment Corporation, headquartered in Maynard, 
Massachusetts, is the leading worldwide supplier of networked 
computer systems, software and services. Digital pioneered and leads 
the industry in interactive, distributed, and multivendor computing. 
Digital and its partners deliver the power to use the best 
integrated solutions - from desktop to data center - in open 
information environments.
