CICI news...not that the market cares. :-( CIC Licenses Pen Enabling Solution to Intermec for Use On the Norand Pen Key 6642 REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2000-- (Nasdaq: CICI) Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC"), the leading supplier of natural input and electronic signature solutions, today announced that it has licensed PenX(TM) 1.77 to Intermec Technologies Corp., a UNOVA Inc. (NYSE: UNA) company. Intermec will bundle PenX on a lightweight tablet style mobile computer called the Norand Pen Key 6642. CIC's Pen Extensions (PenX) provide a powerful 32-bit operating system extension for Windows 95, 98, and NT for pen devices enabling inking, ink capturing and handwriting recognition. Tom Miller, senior vice president of the systems and solutions group at Intermec said, "Intermec considers CIC a valued partner and key provider of pen-based solutions for our mobile computers. PenX will enable us to provide greater support for mission critical pen solutions that serve our broad base of vertical market developers and enterprise customers." CIC's PenX is currently the only shipping product to provide 32-bit pen extensions for Windows NT 4.0. Other existing licensees of this product include several of the larger vertical market pen computer manufacturers such as Fujitsu Personal Systems Inc, Mitsubishi, and Walkabout. "CIC is pleased to add Intermec to our growing list of key licensees of this robust tool for Mobile Computing OEMs and vertical market developers," said Mike Sullivan, vice president of business development for CIC. "PenX enables pen computing applications within all of the 32-bit Windows platforms. Because CIC specifically developed PenX to meet the demands of 32-bit applications, PenX offers greater application compatibility. This is an advantage over previous pen extension offerings." PenX is an extension to Win32 operating systems that provides a common application program interface (API) for pen computing, including support for input device drivers and handwriting recognition engines. To compliment this low-level interface, PenX also includes the 32bit version of CIC's award winning Handwriter(R) Recognition System and new ActiveX edit controls needed for creating pen aware applications with Visual Basic and C++.
