Symbol Factory from Software Toolbox, Inc.

Charlotte, NC USA January 11, 2002 – AzeoTech, Inc. (www.azeotech.com) and Software Toolbox^®, Inc. (www.softwaretoolbox.com) announced today a licensing arrangement under which AzeoTech has licensed the Symbol Factory process automation graphics library and librarian application and is including the Symbol Factory library as part of their DAQLab product. This agreement gives AzeoTech the means to provide their users with an extensive library of over 3,000 industrial automation objects.

Says Matt Warshawsky, President of AzeoTech, "Symbol Factory provides the users of DAQLab the ability to quickly create clear and informative screens using its recognizable set of process automation graphics. Software Toolbox was very helpful, providing all the help and information needed to integrate Symbol Factory into DAQLab quickly. This resulted in a much faster time to market, reducing the resulting cost to the end-users."

John Weber, President of Software Toolbox, adds, "AzeoTech is offering an innovative HMI / SCADA product with some unique features not usually seen in industrial automation software, and at an attractive price point. We are pleased to be a partner with AzeoTech Inc. in adding value to their application.  Having this broad range of industrial objects available from Symbol Factory for their clients will allow AzeoTech to provide appealing process automation screens for their applications."
