CONGRUENT CORP. PORTS LOW-COST DEVELOPER TOOLS TO WINDOWS NT

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6, 1992 Congruent Corporation today announced it will
lower the cost of developing application programs for Microsoft Windows NT
by making available NT versions of the GNU programming tools popular with
UNIX developers.  Retail price for ToolBuster, a suite of more than 50
programming tools, is $199, including source code allowing unlimited
reproduction rights.

Congruent has ported programs in the GNU UNIX-compatible software system to
the NT platform.  Included in ToolBuster are RCS, a source code control
system, and GNU Emacs, a highly regarded text editor tailored for program
development requirements. Congruent will market ToolBuster to independent
software vendors and others developing applications for Microsoft Windows
NT.

"Programmers familiar with only with DOS programming tools will welcome the
added functionality of ToolBuster, while UNIX programmers will find the
support theyexpect in a 32-bit programming system," said Art Kreitman,
president of Congruent.

Lower Development Costs, Reduce Development Time

"ToolBuster attacks the high cost of development on two fronts," said
Kreitman. "First, it provides more than 50 popular GNU programming tools
in one package. Second, since no license is required for ToolBuster, one
purchase can be duplicated for use by any number of programmers."

"The availability of high-performance programming tools such as ToolBuster
is key to our software developers' success.  ToolBuster will help NT
programmers have their applications shrink-wrapped and ready to go as the
operating system enters filan release.  Programmers who are accustomed to
using GNU tools on UNIX will feel right at home," said Brian Moran,
Technical Evangelist, Microsoft Developer Relations Group.

ToolBuster can be ordered directly from Congruent for delivery this summer.
 Retail price is $199.  Delivery will be timed to coincide with the
availability of NT developer kits, expected from Microsoft in July. 
Support for ToolBuster is available from Congruent.  In accordance with
copyrights on GNU software held by the Free Software Foundation, source
code is included with the programs, which will be disributed on CD-ROM.

Congruent Corporation develops systems, graphics, and imaging software for
OEMs and systems integrators.  Key products are Asian language support and
multimedia extensions for Windows display drivers and the X Imaging
Extension (XIE) for workstations and X terminals.  OEM relationships with
popular hardware vendors put Congruent software into more than half of the
Window-based personal computers sold last year.  The company, founded in
1987, is privately held.
