QUALSOFT TO DISTRIBUTE KL GROUP'S AWARD-WINNING XRT WIDGETS

QualSoft and Non Standard Logics announce tight integration between XFaceMaker and the XRT widgets

PALO ALTO, February 9, 1996-- QualSoft Corporation and KL Group Inc. announced that QualSoft will distribute the industry-leading XRT GUI components to help graphical user interface developers easily create professional-looking interfaces, tables, data-entry forms, 2-D and 3-D graphics for Motif applications. QualSoft, KL Group and Non Standard Logics also announced the tightest builder integration yet between XFaceMaker, Europe's market share leader for Motif GUI development and winner of the 1995 X Industry Achievement Product of the Year award for Best Product Value, and the XRT GUI components for Motif, winner of the same award for Best X Graphing Suite.

"The XRT widgets produce immediate results easily and inexpensively. For teams on tight deadlines, needing professional looking tabular and 2D/3D graphical representation of data, you simply can't match the XFaceMaker-XRT tandem," said Laurent Gharda, president of QualSoft. "Integrating the best GUI builder and the best widgets was a natural. The result is quite stunning".

KL Group develops add-on GUI components that are used by thousands of Motif and Windows developers around the world. XRT/graph and XRT/3d are powerful widgets that create dynamic 2-D and 3-D graphs and charts. XRT/table is a powerful and flexible table widget for displaying and editing tabular information. XRT/field lets developers build data-entry forms with field validation many times faster than with the standard Motif widgets. XRT/gear is the essential collection of add-on widgets and utilities for Motif. There are no run-time, royalty or distribution fees.

"We are most pleased with the addition of QualSoft to our distribution channels," said Greg Kiessling, president of KL Group, Inc. "And obviously we are very happy to see the way XFaceMaker integrates with our widgets. End-users can only benefit from such a powerful combination." Kiessling concluded.

KL Group is the leading supplier of software objects for GUI development. XRT products are sold and supported from KL Group's headquarters in Toronto, and through a worldwide network of qualified resellers. For more information, contact QualSoft.
