BRISTOL TECHNOLOGY INC. ANNOUNCES WIND/U 2.1

Support for Visual C++ 2.0, Microsoft Class Library 3.0, Silicon Graphics
IRIX 5, Wind/U Wizard, Xprinter 3.0 Added

Ridgefield, Conn., February 13, 1995--Bristol Technology Inc. today
announced Wind/U 2.1, a new release of the company's Windows-to-UNIX
cross-platform development software. Release 2.1 continues Wind/U's
support of Microsoft's Win32 and Win16 application programming interfaces
(API), while adding support for Visual C++ 2.0, Microsoft Foundation Class
(MFC) Library 3.0, and Silicon Graphics Inc.'s IRIX 5-based workstations.

Wind/U 2.1 also includes the addition of Wind/U Wizard, a productivity
enhancement, and the integration of Xprinter 3.0, Bristol's software for
adding sophisticated printing capabilities to UNIX-based applications.

Bristol's Wind/U family of products enables software developers to build
Windows, Windows NT, and UNIX applications from a single source code base,
using the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library, the Windows API, and
Visual C++ or other Windows development environments. With Wind/U 2.1,
developers can use the latest Visual C++ features with their UNIX
applications. These include new user interface classes such as dockable
toolbars and property sheets.

"Visual C++ 2.0 and MFC 3.0 make it easier for developers to utilize OLE,
Microsoft's object technology," said Keith Blackwell, president of Bristol
Technology. "Bristol's support for MFC brings Wind/U a step closer to
seamless integration with OLE, and is based on our belief that MFC and the
Windows API will continue to be the development standards of choice."

MFC 3.0's User Interface Support

Wind/U 2.1 supports such user interface features on UNIX as docking
toolbars and property sheets. The dockable toolbar support enables
developers to bring more versatility to a GUI by either attaching (or
"docking") a toolbar to any side of its parent window, or by letting it
"float" in its own miniframe window.

With release 2.1, Wind/U developers can also use property sheets in their
UNIX applications. Known as "tabbed dialog boxes," property sheets allow a
large amount of information to be grouped in an easily understood manner.

Wind/U Wizard

To aid developers in porting their applications to UNIX, Wind/U 2.1 adds
Wind/U Wizard, a productivity enhancement that includes custom
installation and configuration tools. The Wizard helps novice UNIX
developers to build, debug, and run a Wind/U application more efficiently,
and to communicate more effectively with Bristol by collecting
configuration information.

The Wizard flags possible portability problems, helps prepare user source
code for porting, verifies the installation process, provides easy links
to the Wind/U on-line manual and other resources, and provides an
automated method of communicating with Bristol's Developer Support and
Relations Department.

Xprinter 3.0

Wind/U 2.1 integrates Xprinter 3.0, Bristol's printing library, into the
Wind/U graphical device interface. Xprinter 3.0's integration adds Kanji
printing support to Wind/U, as well as a graphical method of adding
printers to a Wind/U application's printing configuration.

Silicon Graphics IRIX 5 Support

Bristol Technology has ported Wind/U 2.1 to Silicon Graphics Inc.'s Indigo
and IRIS workstations, which will enable developers to utilize the 24-bit
advanced color graphics available on these IRIX 5-based computers.

Wind/U 2.1 is available on SunSPARC, HP700, RS/6000, and Silicon Graphics
Inc. workstations. It is priced between $5,000 - $9,950, depending on
volume.

Ridgefield, CT-based Bristol Technology Inc. develops, markets, and
supports the Wind/U family of products. Founded in 1990, the company has
posted an operating profit for 11 consecutive quarters. Its products
include HyperHelp, software for creating UNIX-based on-line help systems
with WinHelp functionality, and Xprinter, software for adding
sophisticated priting capabilities to UNIX-based applications. In 1993,
Bristol was recognized for having the highest revenue growth of any
Connecticut-based high technology company.
