MAYFLOWER ANNOUNCES V 2.0 OF THE SENTINEL DATA LOADING TOOL AND A DATA
DICTIONARY FOR LOTUS NOTES

New York, New York, June 20, 1995--MayFlower Software today announced a
significant update of Senhnel, a middleware product designed to convey
data to and from Lotus Notes and a new product, The Information Catalog,
that creates a data dictionary of enterprise-wide information that is
catalogued, stored, and referenced in a Lotus Notes database. Lotus Notes
is the leading client/server platform for developing and deploying
groupware applications.

Sentinel Version 2.0

The Sentinel, first introduced in 1994, is designed to facilitate the
transfer of relational and legacy data to and from Notes databases.

Targeted at Notes developers who want to enhance Notes applications data
integration, the product is Notes-centric and allows developers to
initiate and schedule Notes data loads using the familiar forms and views
of Lotus Notes.

Once initiated, updates to the database can be scheduled on a regular basis
while new data loads are created and tested for prototypes. Data can be
translated during the transfer as well as operated on with formulas and
macros to ensure effective data usage. An activity log monitors all
activity that assists Notes administration.

The first release of Sentinel supported the loading of flat files and was
well-received by developers who faced the challenge of loading data from
Cobol-based legacy systems.

The new release of Sentinel (V2.0) features compatibility with all ODBC
data sources. Notes Developers can extract data from Sybase, Oracle,
Informix, Rdb, AS/400, DB2, MS Access, dBase, and Paradox.

The Information Catalog Version 1.0

MayFlower's Information Catalog is a comprehensive data dictionary targeted
at Data Warehouse Managers and Data Base Administrators who are interested
in making corporate data definitions available via Lotus Notes.

A proprietary Agent program browses all ODBC databases and automatically
creates an extensive catalog or listing of all corporate data tables and
fields using the forms and views in Lotus Notes. Database Administrators
can then use Lotus Notes to define metadata including business owners,
data definitions, and add comments as required.

Updates to the catalog are automatic and can be scheduled on a regular
basis.

The Sentinel Data Loading Tool is available at a suggested retail price of
$4,995, an affordable alternative to many of the currently available
middleware offerings. MayFlower Software works closely with Notes Business
Partners and offers attractive reseller pricing.
