Altova Incorporates Infoteria Corporation's iXSLT 2.0 Into XML Spy 3.5
Industry leading transformation tool embedded into award winning XML Editor

Boston, MA and Tokyo, Japan-February 7, 2000-Infoteria, the XML Software
Company, announced today that its industry leading iXSLT(TM) 2.0 product
has been integrated into the latest version of Altova's award winning XML
Spy 3.5 product.

"We're jazzed to be a part of XML Spy 3.5 ," said Tim Browne, CEO and
President of Infoteria, Worldwide. "The union of iXSLT with XML Spy will
benefit tens of thousands of Altova and Infoteria customers worldwide. Our
work with the wildly bright developers at Altova has further increased our
deep commitment to being a truly global provider of worldwide solutions."

"Offering iXSLT within XML Spy 3.5 is a huge win for our users. By
integrating it seamlessly into XML Spy 3.5, customers are able today to
initiate XSLT transformations directly from within their XML editing
environment." said Alexander Falk, President & CEO of Altova, Inc. "I
believe this level of deep integration shows great promise for the future
cooperation between our companies. This clearly represents significant
value-add for our combined customer base."

XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) processors are
generally used to convert XML to HTML because browsers and applications
used in today's market do not yet fully support XML and XSL files. XSLT
processors can also transform XML documents into other XML formats for use
by other systems.

XML Spy 3.5 includes the recently updated version of Infoteria's iXSLT
product, version 2.0c.  iXSLT has been upgraded to support Windows NT
(Service Pack 4) and Windows 2000 operating system platforms.  It includes
XSL File syntax that is compliant with the latest XSLT recommendation
(November 16, 1999).  Other enhancements include the support of XSLT and
XPATH Extension Elements; new options for testing performance ("-t"
switch); new options for handling external entities ("-g" and "-G"
switches); and significant performance improvements.

iXSLT is a W3C-compliant XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language
Transformation) processor that uses XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language)
files to transform XML data.  It can transform a single source of XML data
into multiple formats for use by personal computers, personal digital
assistants, cellular devices, and game machines.
