GENUS FIRST TO SUPPORT 24-BIT GRAPHICS IN NEW GX GRAPHICS 3.0

HOUSTON, TX -- March 4, 1994 -- Genus Microprogamming announced today the
release of GX Graphics 3.0, the first general purpose graphics library to
support 24-bit color (16.7 million colors). Developers can replace their
existing graphics library with GX Graphics and access resolutions up to
1280x1024x16.7 million colors.

"We're very excited about the release of GX Graphics 3.0, because it
reaffirms our commitment of delivering leading edge technology into the
hands of our developers.", says Chris Howard, Genus President. "With this
new version, we are the first commercial graphics library to offer 15, 16,
and 24-bit color support. Although this is a high-end feature, we did not
raise the price of the product."

In addition to the higher resolution and color support, GX Graphics 3.0
supports over 50 different SVGA chipset revisions. The latest VESA
specification is also supported, and the popular game "Mode X' graphics
modes have been added as well.

GX Graphics 3.0 includes over 175 functions, and supports all graphics
primitives. It also features full support for logical operations,
clipping, world coordinates, mouse and event routines, text, and drawing
to virtual buffers. GX Graphics comes with the powerful GX Kernel library,
which adds support for memory handling (conventional, EMS, XMS, and disk),
color conversion and dithering, hardware panning and scrolling, and much
more.

GX Graphics 3.0 supports the widest range of compilers and languages of any
other commercial graphics library available -- all in a single package. GX
Graphics also supports all modes of the Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA, and SVGA
adapters up through 1280x1024x16.7M. The toolkit requires an IBM PC/XT/AT,
PS/2 or 100% compatible; a disk drive; a Hercules, CGA, EGA. VGA, and SVGA
adapter and display or 100% compatible; and DOS 2.1 or above.

GX Graphics 3.0 is a member of the Genus GX Development Series, and it is
available now. The price of the library is $249 ($299 for 16-bit Protected
Mode, or $699 w/source code) and it is available directly from Genus or
its authorized dealers. Existing users can upgrade for $69. Inquires about
GX Graphics 3.0 should be directed to Genus' toll free sales number
