[caution: Press Release Ahead :-]

In response to the inquiry about paint and desktop publishing
software for X, Island Graphics Corporation, the company that
along with Sun Microsystems created SunWrite, SunPaint, and 
SunDraw, has announced a new suite of office publishing
applications that run with OSF/Motif.

Here are excerpts from a February 9, 1990 posting in comp.newprod: 

                    ISLAND GRAPHICS INTRODUCES
                   THE ISLAND OFFICE SERIES(tm)
                  UNDER OSF/MOTIF(tm) AT UNIFORUM


         IslandWrite(tm), IslandPaint(tm) & IslandDraw(tm)
            Shown on HP's Apollo Personal Workstations
              and on HP 9000 Series 300 Workstations

     WASHINGTON, D.C. January 23, 1990 -- Island Graphics
Corporation introduced its newest office publishing applica-
tions, IslandWrite, IslandPaint, and IslandDraw under the X
Window System-based OSF/Motif graphical user interface, at
UniForum today.  The products, the first in the Island
Office Series, were shown on HP's Apollo personal worksta-
tions and HP 9000 Series 300 workstations in Island's booth,
and in the Hewlett-Packard Company booth.

       The Island Office Series is intended to serve office
publishing needs ranging from writing memos and letters to
creating illustrated reports and newsletters.  IslandWrite
is a word processing and desktop publishing package that
accepts graphics from IslandDraw, an object-oriented illus-
tration package, and IslandPaint, a raster graphics editor.
Each program provides PostScript(R) output to laser
printers and imagesetters.

     The Island Office Series will be distributed by the
Apollo Direct Channel beginning April 1, 1990, for the
Apollo personal workstations, and July 1, 1990, for the HP
Series 300 workstations.  Apollo Direct is an after-market
sales channel that enables Apollo users to select from a
wide variety of products that add functionality to their
installed equipment.  IslandWrite is priced at $595, while
IslandPaint and IslandDraw can be purchased together for
$495.  The U.S. toll-free number for Apollo Direct is 1-
800-225-5290.  The Island Office Series runs on the entire
Apollo personal workstation family, ranging from the Series
2500 to the Series 4500.  It also runs on the HP 9000 Series
300.
         Island Graphics Corporation, headquartered in San
Rafael, California, is the leading developer of UNIX desktop
