      SPARCworks Partners Program formed with key CASE ISVs

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 23, 1991 -- SunPro, a new business unit of
Sun Microsystems, Inc., today announced endorsements by key CASE ISVs
of the newly unveiled SPARCworks Professional series of software
development products. These vendors become charter members of SunPro's
SPARCworks Partners Program which focuses on the development and
delivery of complete solutions for the software developer.

Developers that cover the range of CASE lifecycle solutions, including
front-end design and analysis, implementation, testing, and
maintenance, will work to integrate their products with the SPARCworks
and SPARCompiler family of products. These companies include Cadre,
CaseWare, Interactive Development Environments (IDE), ProCASE, Saber,
SunSoft, and Softool.  Integration with SPARCworks is made possible by
SunPro's session management tool, Open Windows drag-and-drop
technology, and ToolTalk, SunSoft's open inter-application
communication facility found standard on every Solaris 2.0 distributed
computing environment.

"The support by the key CASE ISVs will make it possible for a software
developer to have a configurable, custom development solution for the
entire software development lifecycle," said Paul Henderson, director
of marketing for SunPro. "SPARCworks' open integration framework is the
key to building the killer application development environment."
