The OPEN LOOK  user interface. It's a real hit with independent software
vendors, in house developers and end users. In fact, over 300
applications are in development today. By people like Lotus (R),
INFORMIX(R), Island Graphics (R), Interleaf (R), and Frame (R). And
it's the most popular front end to UNIX. For a number of reasons.

First of all, it makes UNIX easy to use. Because there are no
complicated UNIX commands. It also looks better than any other
interface. From its icons to its 3D elements. And makes users more
efficient. For example, our drag and drop feature gives them a simple,
intuitive way to move files around the desktop. Our push pin icon makes
it even easier to use. And OPEN LOOK gives users the same interface
across multiple platforms, so they learn it once. And enjoy access to a
huge range off network resources.

As a developer, you'll see it's also easier to work with. Because it's
part of OpenWindows(TM), a complete development environment. With the tools
you need to create applications faster than ever. And ready-made
features, like our DeskSet graphical productivity tools, that you can
give users right away.

Of course, the business reasons to choose OPEN LOOK are just as
strong.  OPEN LOOK is the standard interface of AT&T's UNIX System V.4,
so it's included at no charge. And it will run on over 20 platforms,
including DEC (R), HP (R), and IBM (R). Since it's portable across
multiple platforms, you only write your application once. Which saves
thousands of man-hours.  Finally, with OPEN LOOK, you have the full
support of a company that leads the workstation industry in worldwide
shipments.*

We've put together a videotape that shows you exactly what OPEN LOOK is
all about. Just call us at 1-800-624-8999 (ext. 2068), and we'll send
you a free copy. Then find a nice comfortable seat close to your
screen. Because the closer you look, the better we get.
