Cub'x Systemes announces its support for the new NeXT strategic orientation.

Paris, France, Feb 22nd, 1993.  Cub'x Systemes announces it totally supports
NeXT's recent decision to stop manufacturing hardware, and dedicate its
activities to promoting the NeXTSTEP operating system on multiple hardware
platforms.

"We are extremely pleased to see NeXT cementing a strategy long awaited in the
computer market. It will permit NeXTSTEP to reach the prominent position that
it rightfully deserves as the leading object oriented operating system", says
Gerard Laurent, Cub'x Systemes General Manager.  "We find our efforts for the
promotion of NeXTSTEP now rewarded by the dramatic expansion of the number of
potential users, and this will open new exciting opportunities for software
development."

Cub'x Systemes is presently porting its software products - Cub'X-Window and
intuitiv'3d - onto NeXTSTEP for Intel Processors.

Cub'x Systemes has developed the following software packages :

- Cub'X-Window, X-Window client/server architecture for the NeXT. Its new
version 4.0 will be available on NeXTSTEP for NeXT hardware in March 1993 and
on NeXTSTEP for Intel Processors in May 1993. This new version provides a
X11R5 solution, numerous new  features, and still increased speed performance.

- intuitiv'3d, a complete 3d creation environment. It will be released on
NeXTSTEP for NeXT hardware and NeXTSTEP for Intel Processors during NeXTWorld
Expo, on May 25th.

Cub'x Systemes will continue to support and upgrade Cub'X-Window and
intuitiv'3d on NeXT computers and will continue to port its NeXTSTEP software
products onto each new NeXTSTEP capable hardware platform.

Cub'x Systemes, located in Paris, France, is the center of expertise for
NeXTSTEP  in France, through its NeXTSTEP training center, NeXTSTEP software
development and NeXT distribution center.
