Digital and UniPrise Systems Announce PL/I Software Agreement

HIGHLIGHTS

o  UniPrise assuming full responsibility for the development and maintenance
   of VAX PL/I and DEC PL/I for OpenVMS AXP products

o  Digital continuing to sell and distribute these products and related
   software services under current product names and order numbers

AGREEMENT OVERVIEW

VAX PL/I and DEC PL/I for OpenVMS AXP products have been transferred to
UniPrise Systems, Inc., of Irvine, California. UniPrise will continue to
offer these products under the current product names. Digital will continue
to sell and distribute the products under standard Digital license terms and
conditions. Digital will also continue to be the service provider. Current
Software Product Services users should be unaffected by this transfer;
Digital remains the primary contact for support.

The UniPrise acquisition of Digital's PL/I products will bring a renewed
focus on these compilers. Continued development and maintenance efforts will
provide investment protection for users with PL/I applications on the
OpenVMS VAX platform and allow users to move these applications to the
OpenVMS AXP platform easily.

UniPrise has been dedicated to the PL/I marketplace for many years and was
the source of Digital's initial PL/I technology 15 years ago. UniPrise also
has plans to develop a new family of PL/I systems with full IBM mainframe
compatibility which will be available on open platforms.
