Sun Workstations To Be Resold With DAZIX Electronic Design Software

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --February 12, 1991-- Sun Microsystems and
Intergraph Corporation today announced that Intergraph has agreed to
purchase up to $150 million of Sun SPARC(R)-based systems during the
next three years.  The company will spend $35-45 million this year
alone.  The systems will be resold with DAZIX electronic design
automation (EDA) software to customers throughout the world. DAZIX, an
Intergraph company, will continue to sell and support Intergraph's
Clipper-based workstations.

Intergraph announced earlier this year that it intends to port most of
its EDA software to Sun's SPARC systems and sell it through its DAZIX
subsidiary.

"This agreement gives our customers a cost-effective alternative
solution when making their EDA choices," said Eliott James, president
of Intergraph.  "Using either a Clipper-based Intergraph workstation or
a SPARC-based Sun workstation, DAZIX customers will be able to develop
solutions tailored to meet their individual needs."

DAZIX was aquired by Intergraph in December 1990.  DAZIX products, used
primarily for the design and development of electronic circuits and
components, run on Sun's SPARC-based systems.  They are currently being
ported to Intergraph's Clipper-based systems.

"This agreement with Intergraph further enhances Sun's position as the
leading platform for EDA systems and software.  With Intergraph making
its EDA tools available on Sun, all the major workstation-based EDA
applications now run on Sun," said Scott McNealy, Sun's president and
CEO.

Sun Microsystems, Inc., headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., is a
leading worldwide supplier of network-based distributed computing
systems, including professional workstations, servers and UNIX(R)
operating system and productivity software.

Intergraph Corporation offers a broad range of complementary
workstations and network servers, including complete
application-specific systems for computer-aided engineering, design,
manufacturing and publishing, plus numerous earth science
applications.  A member of the Fortune 500, Intergraph is the world's
largest company dedicated to developing and manufacturing interactive
computer graphics systems.
