Macintosh High Performance Imaging Library Announced!

March 14, 1994 - Westboro, MA. - AccuSoft has just announced the
availability of its PRO Gold Image Format Library for the Macintosh. This
toolkit permits software developers to easily incorporate high performance
raster imaging capabilities into their software products. The library,
building upon the already popular technology of AccuSoft's Intel family of
products, provides powerful imaging support for all popular raster image
formats (JPEG, TIFF, PCX, DIB, TGA, GIF, WMF, PICT, DCX, WPG, EPS, and
BMP).

Special features of the library include various anti-aliasing algorithms,
scale to gray for improved display and printing, extremely fast JPEG and
Group 4 handling, rotation by .01 degrees and many other image viewing
features. AccuSoft believes this is the only such solution available on
the Macintosh today.

AccuSoft product manager Scott Warner states that thousands of software
developers have been extremely satisfied with the Windows, DOS, NT, OS/2
and Visual Basic versions of the library. "Today's software application
developers want to provide imaging as a standard part of their product.
Whether working with document databases, or CD-ROM based image libraries,
or displaying 24 bit full color images, market pressures demand that they
support more formats and more complex images. In the past, image support
software has either been too slow or prohibitively expensive. Accusoft now
offers high quality at a reasonable price."

The Macintosh library is available immediately. Its price, which includes
Apple MPW and Symantec Think C versions is $1995. That price includes 2000
free runtime licenses.

AccuSoft now offers their products for all PC platforms with UNIX support
to be announced shortly. Libraries are available at prices starting as low
as for $495 for Windows, DOS or Visual Basic. 32 bit libraries for NT,
OS/2 and Visual Basic are available for $995. The PRO Gold high
performance libraries are available for $1995.

AccuSoft has been in business since 1985. It specializes in Graphics and
Imaging with an orientation to the customization of imaging technology for
high performance systems. The AccuSoft Image Format library has been
available since 1992 and is in use by over 3000 corporate accounts
including America On Line, Coca-Cola, General Motors, Kodak, Micron,
National Instruments, TrueVision, Watermark and others.
