phase  UDL/I software  development and delivery. The main development
plan,  which  includes  the  design  and  program  development of the
compiler,  simulator,  waveform  user  interface and others, has been 
awarded to  Fintronic USA, Inc., of San Mateo, CA. This selection has 
been  made by the IDL/I Software  Development  Committee (USDC) among
four companies that submitted proposals: three from the  USA and  one
from  India. Recently  the detailed agreements among JEIDA, Fintronic
USA  and  Advanced  Software  Technology  and  Mechatronics  Research 
Institute  ( ASTEM ),  Kyoto  JAPAN,  have  been completed. The UDL/I 
Intermediate  Format  will be  released at the enf of March 1991, the
beta  program  will  be released by the end of December 1991, and the 
final programs will be distributed by the end of March 1992.

     USDC   plans   to  develop  additional  UDL/I  related  programs. 
It intends to counter-propose the development of such programs to the 
remaining  offerors. Also,  new offerors  are welcome  to participate,
having  good  chances for obtaining  development  contracts.  Further
information will be available at the contact offices.

     USDC  opened its  USA Branch  office at  Fintronic USA, Inc., Dr.
Alec Stanculescu,  the president  of Fintronic USA, Inc. is the Chair 
for this branch. The branch is opened to facilitate the communication 
between   the  UDL/I  Software  Development  Committee   and  parties
interested  in  UDL/I   ( including  potential  offerors  of software 
development) that  located in  the USA.  The  USA branch  office will 
provide  UDL/I related information  to  interested parties,  and will
collect ideas, questions, and comments related to the standardization
of  UDL/I.  Application  forms  to  join the  USA branch of the UDL/I 
Software Development Committee, as well as more information regarding
