NEW VERSION OF PENCOM'S CO-XIST AMONG THE FIRST SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT
NEXTSTEP 3.0

Software Displays X Applications Up To Ten Times Faster On NeXT
Workstations

NEW YORK/UNIX EXPO -- September 22, 1992 -- Pencom Software announces
co-Xist 3.0, a major new version of co-Xist, an X Window System
(X11R5) display and development environment for the NeXT platform.
co-Xist 3.0 adds increased functionality across platforms, plus
provides five to ten times the display speed of previous versions of
this product.

co-Xist 3.0 addresses an industry need for an integrated X Window
display and development environment without sacrificing performance.
co-Xist 3.0 is compatible with NeXTSTEP 3.0, the recently released
version of NeXT's object-oriented environment and graphical
user-interface.

"Pencom began working with NeXTSTEP 3.0 several months ago, and has
seen dramatic improvements in performance with the latest version of
NeXT's software," says Chris Chauvin, Product Manager at Pencom
Software.  "By taking advantages of these enhancements, X Windows
applications running with co-Xist 3.0 can now run from five to ten
times faster before, depending on the mode of operation and machine
type."

co-Xist 3.0's new "Take-Over Mode" option allows X Windows
applications to take over the entire screen, rather than running with
NeXTSTEP application simultaneously.  In "Rootless Windows Mode"
(where users can position the X Window as desired on the workstation
screen just as they can position NeXTSTEP windows), applications will
run up to two times faster than previously on greyscale, and three
times faster on color monitors.

Other new features in co-Xist 3.0 include an application launch
panel, support for Motif 1.2 and X11R5, the newest version of the X
Window System which features the PHIGS extensions to X Windows (PEX)
and the new X11R5 font server.

By taking advantage of the enhanced localization features offered in
NeXTSTEP 3.0, users are now able to adapt the co-Xist user interface
to foreign language environments.  Other language support can be
added by individual users or distributors.

Pencom Software is a division of Pencom Systems, Inc.  Pencom Systems
is the only company of its kind to provide the entire suite of
services necessary for a smooth migration to Open Systems through
personnel, services and products.
