ADev Announces Distribution of ASD PIPE ROUTER

April 8, 1994 - Applications Development, Inc. (ADev) has announced a
Distributor agreement with Advanced Software Design, (ASD) Inc., to market
a "first-of-it's kind" optimized process pipe router, the ASD PIPE
ROUTER.

This new system automatically routes process piping in MicroStation 3D
design files. Using any MicroStation 3D model equipment, structures and
other obstacles in a process plant, the ASD PIPE ROUTER will generate an
optimized process pipe route between any two points.

Best used as a conceptual/preliminary design tool for P&ID transposition,
the PIPE ROUTER effectively reduces expensive and time-consuming front-end
design work. ASD PIPE ROUTER inserts pipe centerlines into OMNI-PIPE
files, and OMNI-PIPE automatically populates the centerline with pipe
segments and elbows by the OMNI-PIPE software.

"ADev provides PC Plant Design Solutions to the engineering community and
ASD now provides optimized plant design tools. The combination of the ASD
PIPE ROUTER and ADev's OMNI-PIPE fills a basic need of the Process and
Power Industry. That is, to complete lump-sum fast-track projects on time
and under budget," says Manu Chatterjee, Chairman, ASD, Inc.

"We are very excited to have this unique opportunity to team with ASD, an
industry leader in optimized plant design, to create the next generation
of PC-based optimized plant design for Process and Power Industry," said
Robert Keith, President, ADev, Inc.

Applications Development, Inc. will feature ASD PIPE ROUTER and a powerful
array of other products and product enhancements for the OMNI-SERIES,
their MicroStation-based plant design software packages in booth #306 at
the International Intergraph Users Group Conference held at the Von Braun
Civic Center in Huntsville, Alabama May 2 through 5.
