INTERGRAPH PROMISES WORKSTATION REVOLUTION

The company announced a new 3D graphics technology it claims will
dramatically advance the computer graphics industry -- bumping
performance of NT-based graphics workstations five to 10 times over
anything that exists today. Based on Intergraph's new ParaScale
architecture, the Wildcat 3D Graphics Technology not only promises a
10x performance boost, it is also highly scalable. Until now, most
major workstation advances have been in Unix machines and the
competition has been Hewlett-Packard. If Intergraph can deliver what
it's promising -- and the first systems won't ship until the end of
the year -- it could knock Unix workstations out of the ring since
the Intergraph machines have the advantage of commodity-priced
Windows hardware. 

LINUX GAINS MORE SUPPORT

The list of companies backing Linux, the open source operating
system, continues to grow. Oracle is planning a Linux port of its
database. Rival Informix will announce a gradual port to Linux --
starting with a database product and tools. And Computer Associates
is working on a port of its relational database.
