AIMTECH CORPORATION INTRODUCES ICONAUTHOR 6.0

Major Upgrade Provides Cross-Platform Multimedia Compatibility and
Relational Database Access using SQL

NASHUA, NH, December 1, 1994 -- AimTech Corporation, a leading developer of
cross-platform multimedia products, today introduced IconAuthor 6.0 for
Windows, the latest release of the company's flagship solution for
creating interactive enterprise-wide multimedia applications.

IconAuthor 6.0, a full-featured, icon-based authoring system, adds
cross-platform file format compatibility, improved animation capabilities,
and database accessibility using Structured Query Language (SQL). Using
IconAuthor, non-programming multimedia professionals can create
interactive multimedia applications or enhance existing enterprise
applications by incorporating text, graphics, animation, audio, video, and
databases into such applications as computer-based training, performance
support systems, and self-service kiosks.

"AimTech was the first multimedia software company to offer cross-platform
multimedia authoring development and playback. Now, IconAuthor 6.0 is the
first authoring system that allows an application created on one platform
to be played on another without a conversion process," said Usman Ismail,
president and CEO of AimTech. "By eliminating the conversion process,
applications can be developed once and easily moved to other enterprise
systems. IconAuthor 6.0 is the only tool to provide this capability across
Windows, UNIX/Motif, OS/2, and Macintosh."

With database connectivity using SQL, IconAuthor becomes a powerful
environment for developing client/server applications that integrate
enterprise data and applications. "IconAuthor now has the ability to
access powerful relational databases like Oracle, Informix, Ingres,
Sybase, and Microsoft Access, in a straight-forward and easy manner," said
Ismail.

IconAuthor 6.0 also improves IconAnimate, the animation editor that comes
with IconAuthor. Outfitted with a new user interface in this release,
IconAnimate is the only cross-platform (Windows/Motif) animation solution
available today.

New objects for system management, variable usage and distributed security,
and several new properties added to existing objects increase the types
and scope of applications that can be created with IconAuthor. In
addition, IconAuthor now supports fractal images, contains a new text
editor, and offers improved printing capabilities.

Available in December, 1994, IconAuthor 6.0 for Windows includes editors
for creating text/objects, video and animation; free internal run-time
licenses, and 90 days of technical support. Priced at $4995, IconAuthor is
available directly from AimTech Corporation. Special pricing is available
for educators, course developers, and resellers. The cost to upgrade from
IconAuthor 5.1 to IconAuthor 6.0 is $695. A discounted upgrade price of
$495 is available through December 3 1, 1994, for existing IconAuthor 5.1
customers.

AimTech Corporation, a privately held company with offices in Nashua, N.H.,
Chicago, Denver, London, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., develops and
markets multi-platform software products for creating interactive
multimedia applications.
