Adapta Ships New Accounting Modules for Borland's Paradox

VICTORIA, Canada -- May 17, 1993 -- Adapta Software is now shipping
AdaptAccounts 4.0, the new version of its adaptable family of integrated
accounting database applications. AdaptAccounts 4.0 combines proven
flexibility with the power of Paradox 4.0 and provides easy access from
Paradox for Windows.

"We're very pleased Adapta has updated their products in conjunction with
our release of Paradox 4.0" said Daniel Klaussen, Paradox DOS Product
Manager for Borland International. "The interface and performance
enhancements we've made provide important benefits to Adapta's accounting
users."

Paradox 4.0 sets new standards for DOS-based relational database management
systems. With a windows-like user interface, tremendous power and
performance gains, enhanced network performance and expanded Paradox
Application Language, PAL, Paradox is ideal for a wide range of users. It
includes the industry standard Query By Example (QBE) for fast interactive
database querying. Paradox can also store and retrieve Binary Large
Objects (BLObs) in memo fields. BLObs can contain any type of binary data
including graphics, sound and multimedia files.

The System Manager, General Ledger, Financial Reporter, Accounts
Receivable, Accounts Payable, Inventory, Sales Orders, Job Costing and
Bill of Materials application modules are all shipping now. Payroll is
planned to ship later this year. Applications fully integrate with each
other, and may also be installed separately. All modules are available in
multi-user or single-user versions with full source code available. They
can be easily integrated with other applications and include full
transaction importing facilities and validation of externally loaded
data.

The AdaptAccounts 4.0 modules have been extensively rewritten to take full
advantage of many new Paradox 4.0 features for both user interface and
performance benefits. An expanded Developer's Toolkit provides additional
on-line technical documentation together with menu generation. Developer's
Licenses, Reseller pricing and Demo versions are available.

AdaptAccounts advanced accounting functionality features include unlimited
open years and periods, complete audit trails and support for multiple
companies, departments, currencies, banks and subledgers. In January 1993,
AdaptAccounts won the Paradox Informant Reader's Choice award for Best
Accounting Software for Paradox.
