LAGUNA HILLS, CA, July 10, 1992 -- Network Software Associates, Inc. (NSA)
today announced version 3 .1 of their NSA-GRAPH software package, an IBM
3192G vector graphics emulator for IBM compatible PCs running DOS.
NSA-GRAPH runs in conjunction with NSA's 3270/ElitePlus terminal emulator,
transforming the PC into a powerful 3270-based workstation for both text
and graphical host applications in an IBM Systems Network Architecture
(SNA) PC-to-host connectivity environment.

"NSA-GRAPH 3.1 is tightly integrated with our SNA engine," said Russ
Hertzberg, NSA's director of product marketing. "As an add-on option for
our 3270/ElitePlus emulator, NSAGRAPH 3.1 can support up to two 3192G host
graphics sessions."

NSA-GRAPH 3.1 meets the needs of customers who use the host-based Graphical
Data Display Manager (GDDM), an IBM program product providing graphical
subroutines for mainframe applications. The PC user can retrieve and store
host-based graphics screens in the Picture Interchange Format (PIF), which
provides for local editing of the host graphics screens on the PC. The
graphic images can also be printed locally on a variety of output devices,
including laser printers, color printers and plotters.

The enhanced graphics emulator supports both 25 by 80 mode screens (IBM
3278 model 2 emulation) as well as 33 by 80 mode screens (IBM 3278 model 3
emulation).

NSA-GRAPH 3.1 runs on the PC together with NSA's 3270/ElitePlus terminal
emulator. 3270/ElitePlus is a low-memory IBM 3278 DFT emulator supporting
DSC and SCS printers, five concurrent SNA Logical Units (LUs), multiple
APIs (EHLLAPI, EEHLLAPI, PS/API, plus HLLAPI concurrency), DOS hot-key,
print-to-disk, keyboard remapping, and automatic video adapter detection.

NSA-GRAPH 3.1 uses 370K memory for one session with graphics. Memory usage
is only 114K when running with graphics enabled but unloaded.

Running together, NSA-GRAPH 3.1 and 3270/ElitePlus can communicate with the
host over a wide range of standalone and LAN connections, including
coax/DFT, SDLC, AutoSync, async, X.25, NetBIOS, NetWare IPX/SPX, and IEEE
802.2.

3270/ElitePlus is priced at $395, or $1,295 for a LAN network license. The
NSA-GRAPH version 3 .1 option is priced at $295 for individual PCs, or $
1,195 for a LAN network license. Corporate-wide licenses are also
available.
