AEROTECH SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH SYSTRAN TO MARKET IP MODULES IN UK AND
EUROPE

May 22, 1995 -- Maidenhead, Berkshire, England -- Aerotech World Trade Ltd
(AWTL) announced today that it has signed a distributor agreement with
SYSTRAN Corp. to market "SYSTRAN's I/O Solutions" throughout the UK and
Europe. This advanced line of IP modules offers cost-effective solutions
for a range of applications including data acquisition, instrumentation
and process control.

According to Bob Mosedale, AWTL's director of business development, this
represents one of the most important projects yet undertaken by the
company: "SYSTRAN is already known worldwide for its state-of-the-art
real-time SCRAMNet products," he said, "and its decision to enter the
IndustryPack I/O module market with enhanced product designs at highly
competitive prices is bound to impact on the rapidly-growing market place
for such products."

SYSTRAN's I/O product manager, Harry Drain, sees Europe as a major market
for the products: "The formation of the Dutch-based industryPack User's
Group (GroupIP) is a powerful enterprise that will ensure the IP module
concept succeeds. With its worldwide expertise, Aerotech World Trade is
ideally positioned to create a sales and marketing network across Europe
and the UK. This will ensure that SYSTRAN's l/O range is fully represented
to potential customers," he said.

IP modules offer both economic advantages and greater flexibility over
host-based VMEbus solutions for embedded applications. They are designed
to compete in the vast range of applications where cost-effective
solutions are desired and are rapidly being adopted as an industry
standard. As an open architecture, they already have the support of almost
60 companies throughout the world.

SYSTRAN's wide selection of general-purpose IP modules are approximately
the size of a business card. The product line includes what is believed
the highest density relay IP module currently available allowing users to
independently activate up to 16 electromechanical relays. 48-channel,
tristateable digital output boards; 40-channel discrete output boards;
48-channel I/O boards; D/A and A/D converters; and 16- and 32-bit dual
counter/timers are among the products currently available. These are
backed by low-cost software support packages, highly user-friendly system
analysis and integration tool kits, and a custom design service.
