MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --June 25, 1990-- Sun Microsystems Federal
announced today that Unisys has renewed a one-year master purchase
agreement under which Unisys will resell -- and purchase for internal
development -- Sun's SPARC(TM)-based workstations and servers.  The
multi-part agreement, which has a potential value of $10 million,
covers Unisys' federal and commercial business and also includes a
PC-NFS(R) license.

Under the reseller portion of the agreement, Unisys will bundle Sun
systems with Unisys-developed software applications for sale to the
federal government.  There is also an internal-use provision of the
agreement whereby Unisys may purchase Sun equipment and use it with
third-party software for technical publishing, computer-aided software
engineering, mechanical computer-aided design and electronic
computer-aided design applications.  This Sun-based solution will be
used to develop new products at numerous Unisys corporate sites and
also to develop systems for new and on-going government programs.

The agreement also covers purchases of Sun equipment by Unisys
operations worldwide.  For example, Unisys CAD/CAM, a Unisys subsidiary
in Boulder, Colo., will bundle its Geometric Modeling System (GMS(TM))
with SPARCstations TM  and resell the package to commercial markets.
GMS is a full-function mechanical CAD/CAM system, with applications
software tailored specifically for plastic injection mold design.

Finally, the agreement includes a license for Sun's PC-NFS networking
product, which Unisys will use internally to connect PCs and
mainframes.  An implementation of Sun's Open Network Computing (ONC(TM))
environment, PC-NFS allows PCs to share files and resources such as
printers in mixed-vendor computing environments.  ONC is Sun's modular,
scalable set of networking protocols and services.
