Dow Jones Newswires -- December 7, 1999 DJ Santa Cruz Operation To Unveil New Tarantella Version By Mark Boslet PALO ALTO, Calif. (Dow Jones)--Santa Cruz Operation Inc. (SCOC) is expected to introduce a new version of its Tarantella software on Tuesday that for the first time offers connectivity to Windows applications. Tarantella up to now has provided desktop computers access to application software on mainframes and Unix servers, connecting machines that use separate operating systems. With the introduction of Tarantella Enterprise II and its links to applications running on Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Windows NT servers, SCO hopes to steal business from Citrix Systems Inc. (CTXS), which is established in the Windows connectivity market, said Peter Bondar, vice president of Tarantella marketing. SCO also plans to cut prices from the Enterprise I version to build market share. A 25-user license will start at $4,925, or about half of what Enterprise I cost without volume discounts, the company said. -By Mark Boslet; Dow Jones Newswires; 650-496-1366

Since the current generation of ICA products run in a non-X-Window environment Again, I think you're missing the point. I'm not talking about the software used to communicate information between the client and the server, I'm talking about what software manages the GUI on the client. Citrix currently supports a number of ICA clients for UNIX systems, as is illustrated by the following news release: FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - September 17, 1998 - Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS) today announced the availability of two new UNIX clients based on its Independent Computing Architecture (ICA), the emerging industry standard for server-based computing. The new ICA Clients for LINUX and SCO UNIX extend Citrix's support for all major UNIX platforms, which also include Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Digital UNIX and SGI IRIX UNIX. Citrix's new ICA Clients for LINUX and SCO UNIX can be downloaded at no charge from the company's website, located at download.citrix.com , for use with Citrix WinFrame and MetaFrame server software. press.citrix.com Unless things have changed significantly in the last few years, the GUI's on these computers are based on X-Windows, so the ICA client has to interact in SOME fashion with X. The issue as far as the GraphOn patent is concerned is how ICA manages windows on an X-client.
