Intrinsyc Announces CE Web Server Extensions, U.S. Media Coverage.

VANCOUVER, B.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 17, 1997--Intrinsyc Software (VSE ICS. ) Intrinsyc Software (the Company) announced today that further to its news release of June 3/97 announcing the introduction of its Rainbow technology, the world's first Windows CE web server, it has just completed 3 key feature enhancements including: full Java and ActiveX support, dynamic system calls and Windows CE file system support.

All of these features are being demonstrated live by the Company on the Internet at http://rainbow.intrinsyc.com.

Bob Trott, editor of InfoWorld Electric stated on June 12/97, "Intrinsyc Software is working on what apparently is the first Web server based on Microsoft's Windows CE platform that is specifically geared for embedded computer applications. Intrinsyc's Web Server could provide a major boost to Windows CE, a platform for which Microsoft has big plans. The operating system eventually will be incorporated into phones, hand-held terminals, point-of-sale devices, automotive applications, and other technologies, [Microsoft] officials said. The OS also will be a key component of the company's [Microsoft's] Windows NT multiuser technology, Hydra, as well as a centerpiece of future Web television innovations that come about as a result of Microsoft's pending acquisition of WebTV."

"We see Windows CE as a real opportunity to open up sensors and controllers, and using things like Rainbow will definitely make that information available," said Bill Thompson, a senior analyst at Automation Research Corp. in Dedham, Mass. "To serve that information up onto a standard Internet/intranet format is definitely exciting. It also goes along with Microsoft's push to make their Windows solution scaleable downward as well as upward," Thompson said.

Client Server News of New York stated on June 9/97, "Intrinsyc Software Inc. says it's got a working web server that can run on top of Microsoft's Windows CE, the first of its genre and a key function Redmond [Microsoft] needs in its battle to defeat Java in the embedded controls market. Intrinsyc's Rainbow server, still at the alpha stage, will let embedded computers running CE dish up information that can be accessed by any standard browser. It could deliver, for instance, details of what a CE-controlled drill press is doing or details of a sale by a CE-controlled gasoline pump. Java's been heavily touted for such applications, handled now almost exclusively by custom mini-OSes, but Redmond's [Microsoft] just as loudly touting NT-based networks with CE on the controllers."

"Rainbow could be the software that sparks the embedded computer industry to life", Brian Rose, Director of Sales & Marketing for Intrinsyc said. "Our target market is factory automation applications, but people are starting to look at more and more Web appliances, and those types of things can benefit from Rainbow."

Intrinsyc will release a beta of Rainbow toward the end of summer, and expects to ship the final product by the end of the third quarter.
