CADPIPE becomes part of Orange Systems' CAD Division

Orange Systems Acquires International Software Systems

Orange Systems, Inc. acquired International Software Systems Inc. This
acquisition, announced August 15th, is a favourable development that will
make more AutoCAD-based products available to both International Software
Systems' and Orange Systems' users.

Both companies offer technical strength and years of CAD expertise. The
CADPIPE line of products meets the needs of the process power and piping
markets, while Orange Systems' DrawMaster HVAC and PipeCAD products
service the engineering, design and construction markets in HVAC,
commercial piping and plumbing.

"Our companies have had a working relationship for the past three years,"
explains Don Chapman, President of International Software Systems. "Orange
Systems will offer more than complementary products; they add 12 years of
CAD experience plus the financial resources ($20M in 1993 sales) to
sustain large-scale development and market growth."

He continued, "We expect that our users will be very pleased with the
products and services they will see from this merger, starting with an
increase in the marketing capacity and presence of CADPIPE in the U.S.
through Orange Systems' national sales and marketing staff.
Our distribution network overseas will also benefit by being able to offer
a wider range of products to their customers."

"We anticipate great things from the integration of CADPIPE's eight years
of industrial piping and plant expertise into our CAD division," says Paul
Hutchins, the CAD Division Manager of Orange Systems, "We plan to move
very quickly to capitalize on the strengths of both product lines to
provide the end user with the added capabilities of true 3-D design,
Windows compatibility and the interface to estimating and design software
programs."
