"Cadence sells more products on Sun SPARCstations(TM) than on any other
platform," said Linda Prowse, Cadence's director of strategic
partnerships.  "Customers have shown interest in OPEN LOOK versions of
Cadence tools on Sun workstations.  Now these customers can realize the
benefits of a common look and feel between Sun's desktop productivity
tools and Cadence products."
