Intergraph Corp, Huntsville, Alabama wants to get a quick leg-up into the X-terminal business and rather than sign an OEM agreement has licensed the technology developed by still shaky Visual Technology Inc, Westborough, Massachusetts. According to Computer Systems News, Intergraph plans to build its own 8-bit colour X Window System terminals and will fit them with a 19 display for sale direct by the company. They will be pitched at the high end of the X-terminal market but the low end of the computer-aided design market. Visual Technology will also have an option to market the terminals developed with its technology. Intergraph will be getting engineering design services, software licences, hardware development services and licences and software maintenance and support from Visual.
