        Noonetime announces release of
new software product - XML Xtract Plus

Denver, CO  October 26, 2000 - Noonetime,
an XML total solutions provider and
full-time consulting, training, integration and product supply company,
announced the release of XML Xtract Plus, an upgrade to their popular,
XML Xtract. The original XML Xtract enabled users to convert Quark
documents to XML, and the new additions allow for the import of XML files
back into Quark, even after authoring or editing their documents in an
XML editor.  

In 1999, Noonetime released XML Xtract. XML Xtract is a Quark Xtension
that takes advantage of the features - specifically character styles - of
QuarkXPress 4.0. This software was developed to convert Quark documents
to XML and based on user selection, will also create a corresponding XSL
Stylesheet and DTD.  With XML Xtract Plus, the user can generate an
XML file, edit it in XMetaL (or any other XML editor or text editor such
as Notepad or TextPad), and then re-import it back into Quark. 
Users are also allowed to combine any content to form a new Quark
document.  A web editor can update material with new data or
findings by editing the content of the XML file.  After updating
information, users may, technically, “pour” the newly edited XML back
into a Quark document without having to edit the Quark document
itself.

“The extra time we put into Xtract Plus has really paid off.  
We have created a tool that allows users to author their data in an XML
editing environment, without detracting from the formatting strengths of
Quark.  Quark users can finally have the best of both worlds. All
this, and it's built on our already mature "Xtract" engine, and
shares all the features of that product,” said Daniel Tack, Application
Engineer for Noonetime.

Noonetime will continue to grow the Xtract family of XML products by the
recently announced Xtract Plus for MAC OS 8.0.  This will give MAC
users the same powerful capabilities Xtract Plus offers.  The
shipping date for Xtract Plus for MAC is slated for early November.
