INSTABASE 4.0 WEB READY MEETS WITH FANTASTIC RECEPTION AT COMDEX '98 IN LAS VEGAS

TORONTO, ONTARIO (November 25, 1998) - InstaBase 4.0 Web-Ready met with a fantastic reception from developers and casual users alike at the fall COMDEX show in Las Vegas. Most commented upon was InstaBase's stunning Publish to the Web Feature. Developers expressed amazement at the brilliant use of Java technology which enables InstaBase to perform a very complex operation very easily, the publishing of databases to the Internet.

Much interest was also fostered upon InstaBase by distributors from around the world, who had come to COMDEX in search of new products.

Ian Guthrie, Director of Projects & R&D for InstaBase states, "The COMDEX reception was very encouraging. We knew that our users loved InstaBase, but this was probably the first time we took InstaBase to a large audience who previously had been unaware of it's existence. The universal acceptance and interest showed us that we were on the right track. We've taken some ideas from COMDEX and are putting them into the new version, which will be released very soon."
