TECHNOLOGIES

LOTUS NOTES DEVELOPERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DELPHI'S RADICAL APPLICATION
DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

SAN DIEGO -- August 9, 1995 -- Borland International Inc. has begun
shipping Delphi/Link for Lotus Notes, a tool developed by Brainstorm
Technologies that integrates technology for accessing Lotus Notes. Borland
made the announcement at its Sixth Annual Developers Conference taking
place here this week. Delphi/Link for Lotus Notes provides Delphi
developers with a proven technology which expands the scope of Delphi
opportunities into the enterprise-wide marketplace.

Delphi/Link for Lotus Notes, a set of highly customized native links to
Lotus Notes, provides seamless integration with Delphi for Windows and
Delphi Client/Server which allows customers to leverage the power and
speed of Delphi's object-oriented architecture while taking advantage of
Notes replication for wide-area distribution of data. This tool also
affords BC++ 4.5 and Visual dBASE developers the same capabilities.

"Delphi's high speed performance, scalability and radical application
development environment combined with the industry's most successful
groupware platform provides growth opportunities for both Delphi and Lotus
Notes developers," said Richard Gorman, vice president of products at
Borland. "This combination will continue the rapid growth already
experienced with Delphi."

"This product supports the move to client/server computing and exploits
existing investments in Borland's tools and databases while leveraging the
Notes installed base. Delphi/Link for Lotus Notes is poised to be the
next-generation groupware development tool," stated Mitchell C. Liu,
Brainstorm's vice president of marketing.

Ways to Integrate Lotus Notes Functionality Into Delphi Applications Lotus
Notes has become a synonym for the term "groupware" for network
programmers by focusing on tracking and sharing document-based
information. Though it eases client/server development by providing
transparent services for security, networking and replication, Notes is
known for it's rigid programming environment.

The following are highlights of Delphi/Link for Lotus Notes features:

* Integrate and expand the unique functionality of Lotus Notes

* Rapidly create customized, easy-to-use, graphical front ends to Notes
databases

* Develop Notes client/server mail-enabled applications

* Easily integrate Notes data and applications with all major relational
and SQL databases

* Create, delete, read and update Notes documents

* Perform full-text searches on Notes documents, views and databases

* Access, display and manipulate Notes rich-text information including file
attachments, doc-links and embedded/linked OLE objects

"I am finally able to create a new architecture with Delphi/Link for Lotus
Notes which allows me to marry relational data with Notes data," said
development consultant Michael Lant, owner of Avalon Associates in
Mississauga, Ontario. "Delphi's unique combination of optimized native
code compiler, state-of-the-art visual two-way tool and scaleable database
connectivity makes it the product best suited for building these hybrid
applications."
