GROUPQUEST SOFTWARE RELEASES ESSENTIAL TOOLS 2.0a

UTILITY PROVIDES A POINT AND SHOOT VEHICLE FOR PERFORMING LOTUS NOTES
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION FUNCTIONS

LAS VEGAS, NOVEMBER 14 -- GroupQuest Software today announced the release
of Essential Tools 2.0a, an administration utility for Lotus Notes
designed to significantly reduce the time it takes to perform day-to-day
Notes administrative functions. Lotus Notes is the worldwide
market-leading platform for developing and deploying groupware
applications.

Using the Notes API, several server based programs are combined to compile
information contained in Notes Database Access Control Lists (ACLs) and
the Notes Name and Address Book. Using this information, a Notes
administrator can easily manipulate multiple groups, control multiple
ACLs, and even terminate users from the Notes environment in the same
transaction. Essential Tools 2.0a will greatly benefit Notes
administrators by streamlining the process of properly controlling
management functions, including server security, database security and
user privileges.

"Given the tremendous popularity of Lotus Notes, systems administrators
need relief from the repetitive day-to-day chores of user administration"
said Lisa Petrucci, President of GroupQuest. "GroupQuest specifically
developed Essential Tools to allow Notes administrators easy control over
virtually all aspects of Notes server, user, and ACL management.
Administrators can reduce many hours of work to minutes by using simple
point-and-click actions to complete most of their administrative tasks"
said Petrucci.

ET Features

From any Notes workstation, Essential Tools will save an administrator time
and increase their accuracy by allowing them to:

* Add/Remove Groups, People, and/or Servers to/from Groups found within the
Notes Name and Address Book. Multiple groups can be manipulated in a
single transaction.

* Add/Update/Remove Access Control Levels for Notes Databases and/or
Templates. Multiple Databases on multiple Servers can be manipulated in a
single transaction.

* Queue ACL and people changes to run during off-hours.

Essential Tools automatically compiles all of the critical information
system administrators need about their databases, and has ready-made audit
trails and increased accountability that can be viewed for their entire
worldwide Notes network:

 * Servers, directory paths and file names
 * ACL access by ACL Entry
 * ACL access by Access Control Levels
 * ACL access by file names
 * ACL access by Database names
 * Essential Tools ACL changes

Compatibility and Pricing

Essential Tools is compatible with any Lotus Notes server release 3.0 or
later running OS/2 2.0 or later. A version supporting a Notes server
running Novell's Netware will ship in December, 1994. In the future,
Essential Tools will run on any server platform for which Lotus has
released an API. Suggested Retail Price for Essential Tools is $1,995.00
for the first server and $995.00 for each additional server. Volume
discounts are available.

GroupQuest Software was created to address the growing need for strategic
applications and utilities to meet the exacting demands of an organization
utilizing Lotus Notes. GroupQuest applications are sophisticated, yet
designed to be easily modified, for powerful corporate solutions.
