    SPRY IMPLEMENTS SUNSOFT'S TI-RPC LIBRARY 
	    FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS
    TO COMPLY WITH THE WINSOCK API STANDARD 
	  AND MAKES IT AVAILABLE FOR
	   CORPORATE SITE LICENSING


May 11, 1993 -- Seattle, WA -- SPRY, Incorporated 
announced today that they are shipping an
implementation of SunSoft's Open Network Computing 
Transport Independent Remote Procedure Call (ONC+/TI-
RPC) library for Microsoft Windows.  SPRY has ported TI-
RPC to comply with Microsoft's Windows Open Systems 
Architecture (WOSA) specification called WinSock.  
SPRY's TI-RPC library is included with their Windows 
TCP/IP package, AIR for Windows or it is available 
separately for corporate site licensing.

With SPRY's TI-RPC library for WinSock, any TCP/IP 
vendor supporting WinSock will be able to access UNIX 
host applications that use the TI-RPC library.  This will 
be a vital tool for developers writing TI-RPC based 
distributed applications.  In addition, with SPRY having 
the TI-RPC library written to the WinSock interface, it 
shows their commitment to the forthcoming industry 
standard as well as to their customers.

"The enterprise wide network requires interoperability at 
all levels, including distributed applications," said John 
Kellum, director of product marketing for SunSoft.  
"SPRY's implementation of the TI-RPC library allows PCs 
running TI-RPC based client-server applications the 
ability to interoperate with Solaris hosts using the 
TCP/IP transport."

"As the leading developer of client-server help desk 
applications, we need TI-RPCs on all the popular PC 
networking stacks," said Larry Garlick, president of 
Remedy Corporation.  "SPRY's TI-RPC library gives us 
WinSock compatibility, allowing many more Windows 
users to take advantage of our Action Request System."

In an effort to simplify networking in a Windows 
environment, SPRY hopes to establish an industry trend 
by making their TI-RPC library available for corporate 
site licensing.  Application developers will be able to 
purchase SPRY's TI-RPCs on a one-time fee basis without 
having to pay annual royalties.

SPRY's AIR for Windows is a Windows TCP/IP package 
that includes a fully MS Windows - compatible VT220 
terminal emulator, telnet, line printer redirector (lpr), file 
transfer protocol (ftp), a Windows implementation of 
Internet Mail (AIRMAIL), MS WinSock support and now 
the inclusion of TI-RPC support for the WinSock API 
Standard.  NFS and TN3270 are add-on options.

SPRY, Incorporated, founded in 1987, specializes in 
networking the desktop by developing software products 
allowing PCs to run multiple protocols such as IPX, 
TCP/IP, NetBEUI, VINES IP, DECnet and XNS 
concurrently.
