EASTERN SYSTEMS SHIPS NEW SVGA EVALUATOR 

A NON-INTRUSIVE AUTOMATED TESTING TOOL THAT INCLUDES SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS
NT

Hopkinton, MA. May 16, 1993 -- Eastern Systems announced that it is
shipping the SVGA version of its Evaluator automated testing tool. With
the SVGA Evaluator, resolutions of up to 1024 x 768 x 256 colors are
supported on the system under test. The SVGA Evaluator target card is
installed into the system under test and connects to the current graphics
card through the industry standard feature connector adapter providing a
completely non-intrusive testing environment.

The Evaluator allows developers and testers to thoroughly and
non-intrusively test their applications no matter what operating system
they are running under. Because the Evaluator is operating system
independent, Microsoft Windows NT based software can be exhaustively
tested. This new version of the product also allows you to perform
compatibility testing of PC based graphics adapters and other hardware
devices.

According to Eastern Systems President, Richard Currier, "For a company in
today's rapidly changing environment to maintain or increase its market
share, software quality and timely product delivery is imperative. As a
leader in the software testing market, Eastern Systems is one of the first
vendors to release a testing tool that supports Windows NT. This timely
testing solution will enable our customers to beat their competitors to
market with high quality, Windows NT based technology."

"SVGA Evaluator is a great tool for testing C++ applications," said Michael
Hyman, senior product manager for Borland C++. "We're very pleased Eastern
Systems is providing Borland-specific software options."

The Evaluator is a PC based, non-intrusive, automated testing tool that
supports all major operating systems (MS Windows, NT, OS/2, DOS, etc...).
Keystrokes, mouse movements, video capture, and reports can be
automatically simulated and verified. Through the use of the Evaluator,
powerful GUI test suites can be created that fully exercise an application
under test. In addition, PC hardware compatibility testing can be
performed non-intrusively.

Price and Availability Two versions of the Evaluator are currently
available. The VGA Evaluator retails for $5,895. The new SVGA Evaluator
retails for $6,595. The two Borland C/C++ software options for these
tools, C Toolkit and GUI Toolkit, are priced at $695 each.
