IBM LICENSES PANACEA'S SOFTWARE ACCELERATOR FOR AUTOCAD

'TurboDLDClassic' To Be Bundled With XGA Graphics Adapters

LONDONDERRY, NH -- January 22, 1993 -- Panacea Inc. today announced that it
has signed a licensing agreement with IBM Corporation. Under the terms of
the agreement, IBM will include Panacea's TurboDLDClassic software
accelerator for AutoCAD with its new line of XGA-2 adapters, including IBM
personal computers with XGA graphics onboard. TurboDLDClassic has a retail
value of $149.

According to Al Testani, IBM's Personal Systems Director of Subsystems
Operations, Entry Systems Technology, "Panacea's strength is its unique
understanding of the AutoCAD environment, and the advantages XGA graphics
brings to their software accelerator for AutoCAD. Their use of XGA
graphics attests to its value, and supports IBM's efforts to bring the
best graphics solutions to the marketplace."

Added Panacea's founder, Jake Richter, "Industry developments have proven
that IBM developed a winner in XGA graphics. By providing resolutions up
to 1024x768, the ability to display photo-realistic images at 640x480,
plus hardware coprocessing functions that significantly speed up
graphics-intensive operations, XGA graphics has gained a steadily
increasing following, and will certainly prove itself to be a standard
graphics platform for PCs."

Panacea's TurboDLDClassic, optimized to work with Autodesk's new AutoCAD
Release 12, accelerates the performance of ZOOM, PAN, and REDRAW
operations up to 25X faster than AutoCAD by itself. TurboDLDClassic works
with AutoCAD Release 12, 3D Studio Version 2.0, AutoShade 2 with
RenderMan, and is backward compatible with AutoCAD Release ll and Release
10/386, plus 3D Studio Version 1.0.
