DIGG news out, dang near fell off my chair. NEW YORK, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Gas Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DIGG - news) of Dallas, Texas today announced that Kommerce Systems Inc. of Boston, MA (''Kommerce'') has been awarded the contract to develop and implement a ''Solar Power Monitoring Kiosk'' by Gravestar, Inc., a Cambridge, MA based real estate assets holding company. The new and unique kiosk is an integral part of Gravestar's reconstruction of the Porter Square Shopping Center in Cambridge, which has a strong focus on the use of environmentally friendly materials, construction techniques, as well as the use of renewable energies. It is unique among shopping center projects being constructed today because it features a 20-kilowatt solar power array on the rooftop which will power a great deal of the site's common electrical needs during peak demand daylight hours. This solar power array will at times actually return power to the local power utility network when fully operational. Kommerce's kiosk, positioned at the center of the center's common area, will continuously display the current and historical status of the solar power array for viewers in the area. In addition, the kiosk will offer viewers access to a wealth of solar power and other renewable energy and environmental topics accessed via touch screen. ''We are pleased to be a part of this very exciting and innovative project,'' said Joe Scali, President of Kommerce. ''The renewable energy concepts and neighborhood information focus embodied in the Porter Square Shopping Center Project are unique, and fit well with our technologies and directions. We look forward to working with Gravestar to implement this very timely and forward looking project,'' Scali added. ''The appointment of Kommerce to develop this kiosk is a very important ingredient in our project timetable,'' stated John Civilinski, VP of Real Estate for Gravestar. ''We were very impressed with Kommerce's technical capabilities and their track record. We are very happy to have a company of their capabilities on the team.'' The official unveiling of the Porter Square Shopping Center Solar Power System and the Solar Monitoring Kiosk is being planned for early October 1999 at the site of the Shopping Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Digital Gas acquired 50% of Kommerce Systems, Inc., a developer of advanced networking and multimedia applications. The company has developed proprietary software and hardware technologies, which feature strong graphical content and a high degree of reliability. The company's software runs on a number of robust, well accepted industrial platforms, including Unix, Linux Microsoft®, Windows NT®, and on Lucent Technologies' Inferno Network Operating System. Kommerce's principals have developed many systems involving sophisticated video capture, e-Commerce, consumer data collection and other applications involving remote operations such as kiosks and similar installations. Digital operates its businesses out of offices in New York, Boston and Dallas. On October 1st the company's oil & gas division will open an exploration & development office in Calgary, Alberta.
