NOONETIME LAUNCHES CONSTELLATION, AN XML-BASED SOFTWARE SOLUTION FOR 
CONTENT MIGRATION
Document Migration from Quark Xpress to XML and Back is Effortless

DENVER, CO. --July 11, 2001 -- Noonetime, a leading provider of XML-based 
content migration software tools, announces the expansion of their product 
portfolio with the launch of Constellation, a software solution that uses 
behind-the-scenes technology to facilitate seamless two-way content 
migration, editing, and re-purposing between XML and other authoring 
applications.

"Noonetime has developed a key missing piece in XML solutions," says Dave 
Hollander, co-founder of XML and co-chair of the W3C XML Schema Working 
Group. "Constellation is an incredibly innovative use of XML to solve real 
world problems. Bundling their tools into one complete product provides a 
round trip solution for getting information between the desktop and XML. 
Noonetime really understands the power behind XML and how to convert it 
into solutions for all information workers, not just the technical elite."

Constellation's first release allows QuarkXpress users to automatically 
export documents to XML, edit the document on-line, and re-import the 
revised document back into the original Quark template, preserving all 
styles and formatting. Shortly Noonetime will be releasing these same 
capabilities for Microsoft Word and FrameMaker.

"Constellation is the perfect feeder system for Web solution companies," 
said Chris Ziener, President and CEO of Noonetime. "With Constellation, XML 
sits behind the scenes allowing its users all of the benefits of XML 
without ever having to deal with the technology -- nothing about the 
content creation process is affected."

Once content is transferred into XML it can be edited remotely via the web, 
and can then either be imported back into the original document source for 
traditional print output or it can be delivered over the web or to wireless 
devices.

"Constellation is a well-conceived round trip XML publishing solution that 
has a seamless integration with QuarkXPress," said Brett Mueller, senior 
product manager at Quark Inc. "It has a straightforward user interface with 
a solid set of tools that are easy-to-use -- even for people who don't 
understand XML."

Constellation's ability to edit and author content directly over the web 
drastically simplifies a user's publishing cycle. The short, convenient 
communication cycle enhances the free exchange and collaborative authoring 
process.

Mark Peters, Vice President of Sales for Chrystal Software, a content 
management company, sees the benefits of Noonetime's new product. 
"Constellation is a fantastic new tool for creating XML data with standard 
off-the-shelf software. It is a great new precursor to the content 
management solutions that we provide, so we look forward to working with 
Noonetime closely."
