Whitehill Technologies announces Release of Version 2.0 of Whitehill <xsl>
Composer 

High Profile Beta Clients Engaged in Pre-release Trial of the Software,
including Novell, Sinclair Oil and Ingeniux Corporation


WASHINGTON, D.C. - XML 2000 - Whitehill Technologies Inc., a leading
provider of Internet infrastructure software, today announced the second
major release of their leading edge, standard-setting XSL software,
Whitehill <xsl> Composer, including the addition of a robust XSL editor.  As
well, companies such as Novell, Sinclair Oil and Ingeniux Corporation have
agreed to be part of the beta testing process leading up to the scheduled
shipping date of January 15, 2001.   

"As XML establishes itself as the universal language of e-business, the next
logical step is to post or present XML data directly to the web, hopefully
in an automated process, " said Leonor Ciarlone, senior consultant,
CapVentures. "XSL, by making it possible to transform and display XML, is a
key step in the evolution of XML as an e-business enabling technology."

"I am excited to announce that Whitehill <xsl> Composer 2.0 significantly
raises the bar for the automated creation and deployment of XSL," said Bob
Rybak, president and CTO of Whitehill Technologies. "Now companies can not
only create well-formed XSL but fully import and export existing XSL, which
may have been hand-coded, while maintaining a friendly interface that
everyone within an organization can use.  This is truly the next step to the
XML - based Internet of the future."
Whitehill <xsl> Composer is a desk top development application that
revolutionizes the ability for an organization to capitalize on XML based
business communications. Using existing XML data, Whitehill <xsl> Composer
automatically creates XSL/CSS (cascading style sheets), which can be used to
render web versions of electronic bills, invoices, statements and reports as
well as for XML/EDI data exchange using XSLT (extensible style sheet
transforms). Until now, the creation of XSL to render XML electronically has
been a completely manual process. Whitehill <xsl> Composer replaces the need
to hand code XSL.

With the addition of a robust XSL Editor, Whitehill <xsl> Composer provides
the user with the ability to import and edit existing XSL, as well as
providing an Absolute Positioning feature, which allows users to position
and align fragments in relation to the page layout or to other fragments.
This functionality significantly increases the speed at which users create
the presentation of their XML data while leveraging any pre-existing
investment in XSL.   

"The response from the industry regarding our software has been very
encouraging," says Jim Laffoley, VP Marketing and Business Development,
Whitehill Technologies.  "This latest release of Whitehill <xsl>Composer is
based on the feedback received from our existing customers. We believe they
will be very excited to see the increased functionality and the newest
features within this version of Whitehill <xsl>Composer."

As participants of XML 2000 North America, held in Washington, D.C.,
Whitehill Technologies will be demonstrating Whitehill <xsl> Composer 2.0
from booth #404 on the trade show floor. XML 2000 is a premier Information
Technologies event and the only conference designed to provide the technical
community with a vision for what lies beyond XML.
