Irvine, CA, July 19, 1993 -- Effective today, the NEC VersaPad pen computer
now supports PenRight! and is able to run the more than 400 applications
currently available in the PenRight! operating environment. The 4 pound
NEC VersaPad is a powerful 486SL tablet pen computer designed to be used
in mobile data collection, order entry, sales, claims inspections, and
medical record keeping applications.

"By combining PenRight! and the NEC VersaPad, NEC can now provide mobile
workers with a full-featured platform on which to run vertical
applications," said Bobbi Burns, director of sales and marketing, software
products in the vertical systems group of AST Research, Inc.

Recent reports from industry analysts indicate that PenRight! has captured
more than 80 percent of the pen-based market. In the last year, PenRight!
sales have increased more than 200 percent.

The NEC VersaPad has been certified by PenRight! and now has the ability to
run applications developed in the PenRight! environment for such
industries as pharmaceutical, transportation, government, public safety,
consumer goods, health care, oil & gas, and utilities. The PenRight!
applications were developed to meet customer needs in performing such
vertical tasks as data collection, inspections, route accounting,
inventory control, shipping and receiving, sales force automation and
patient monitoring.

"The largest opportunity for pen-based computing is in the vertical
mission-specific applications," said Renee Bader, manager strategic
marketing, portable computer systems, NEC. "The PenRight! operating
environment continues to lead the market in corporate acceptance for this
category. NEC plans to utilize PenRight!'s established community of
developers that have shipped proven applications for the past three years.
"

The applications running in the PenRight! environment were developed with
application development tools including PenRight! Pro, padBase, Power Pen
Pal and dataNow. NEC is licensing PenRight! for resale to users wanting to
run software under the PenRight! environment.

The NEC VersaPad now joins the Fujitsu PoqetPad, GRiD Convertible and
PalmPAD, NCR 3125/3130, Norand PenView, and Samsung PenMaster as products
currently licensed to run applications developed with the PenRight!
operating environment.
