MONTREAL, February 25th, 2000 - ICAM Technologies Corporation announces the release of a Japanese Language version of CAM-POST^® 2000. The new version was developed in collaboration with Matrix Corporation of Tokyo, Japan, a CAM-POST distributor, and operates on the Japanese version of Windows 95/98/NT.

The development of the Japanese Language version of CAM-POST demonstrates ICAM's long-term commitment to its growing customer base in Asia, and more specifically to the Japanese market.
