HELIOS products and support for Linux

HELIOS announces products for Linux platform

March 18, 1999- CeBIT '99, Hannover, Germany, Hall 9, Booth C25- HELIOS
Software GmbH announces the availability of its EtherShare 2.5,
EtherShare OPI 2.0, PDF Handshake and Print Preview products for the
Linux operating system on computers based on Pentium processors. HELIOS
PCShare 3 will also be available for Linux later this summer.

The Linux operating system utilizes the full power of today's
Pentium-based workstations and servers, and at the same time builds upon
the well-known compatibility and reliability of the Unix environment.
Linux, being a product of the Internet community of thousands of
programmers worldwide, has gained wide support from industry-leading
hardware and software vendors.

HELIOS Software supports Linux with its file server, print server and
PrePress applications on the HELIOS CD014, available in April. HELIOS
CD014 includes a minimal Redhat Linux runtime to support the HELIOS
software applications as well the Linux TCP/IP, NFS, FTP and Web
services to serve Macintosh, Windows, UNIX and Internet clients.

HELIOS will support the complete HELIOS Software solution including the
Linux operating system. Linux operating system problems will either be
resolved or a workaround will be recommended to HELIOS distributors and
dealers selling the HELIOS solution.

HELIOS Software offers all new Linux customers purchasing the HELIOS
Software Solution in 1999 to receive a free Windows 2000 version of the
HELIOS products when available. Customers can decide which operating
system they prefer for their Pentium-based PCs running the HELIOS
Software solution.

Smart Ideas for Better Networking HELIOS products run on powerful and
scalable servers from Apple Computer, Data General, Compaq (Digital),
HP, IBM, Intel (Pentium), Motorola, SGI, and Sun, providing reliable
cross-platform support for Macintosh, DOS/Windows and UNIX-based
clients. Distributors sell HELIOS products worldwide to value-added
resellers who provide complete networking solutions to customers. HELIOS
software products are also available as part of OEM solutions by many major
vendors in the prepress industry.
