IDELIX Announces Strategic Partnership with Boeing Autometric
Pliable Display Technology to be included in Autometric's data production and mapping products

Vancouver, British Columbia - March 11, 2002 - IDELIX™ Software Inc. today announced a licensing agreement with Boeing Autometric that will integrate Pliable Display Technology™, (PDT), into future versions of Autometric's data production and mapping products. This commitment ensures the benefits of PDT will be made available to all users of Autometric's Kork Digital Stereo Plotter (KDSP™) and SoftPlotter® products.

"PDT is an exciting new technology for the professional mapping marketplace", said Todd Ham, Data Production Product Line Manager for Boeing Autometric. "Its use offers great potential for productivity gains in many labor intensive areas including collection, broad area search and quality control of geospatial data. We're very pleased to bring this capability to our customers with the spring releases of our KDSP and SoftPlotter."

Pliable Display Technology (PDT) is a lens display technology that is changing the way information is displayed on a variety of platforms ranging from PC's, Internet and handheld/wireless applications. Developed by IDELIX, PDT addresses the user interface challenge of working with high-density data sets and images on a limited size screen display by enabling detail-in-context viewing and editing.

The announcement of this strategic partnership embarks on the IDELIX mandate to embed PDT within the world's leading software applications. PDT adds unique capabilities to Digital Imaging, Geographic Information Systems & Remote Sensing, Seismic, Medical Imaging, Handheld and Wireless Devices, Computer Aided Design, Electronic Media, In-Vehicle Navigation and Electronic Games. PDT is data format independent and hosts an Application Programming Interface that supports all common operating systems.

"This licensing agreement represents an important early milestone in what we hope will be a strong and growing relationship with Boeing Autometric," says Dr. David Baar, CTO of IDELIX.
