TOKYO, JAPAN, 1990 JAN 26 (NB) -- SRA or Software Research Associates
will cooperate with U.S.-based MIPS Computer Systems' to offer
new software features for MIPS' RISC-(reduced instruction set
computer) architecture-based machines.
The VAR (value-added reseller) agreement between the hardware maker
and software house comes on the heels of a prior technical support
agreement last October in which the two sides agreed to make
international versions of Unix/OS, the Unix of MIPS' RISC chip, into
Korean, Chinese and Japanese languages.
Under this agreement, SRA will port its original
Unix software tools to MIPS computers. SRA is now operating
a so-called System Integration Business on a workstation and it will
place the MIPS machines as high-end machine for system sales.
It is expecting 50 sets of the systems or one billion yen ($6.9 million)
worth of business in the initial year.
