Interpress Technologies ships VivaPress Professional 1.5 for the Macintosh

Features many capabilities not found in QuarkXpress or Pagemaker

NEW YORK, NY -- JANUARY 18, 1994 -- Interpress Technologies Corp. announced
today that after showing at the recent MacWorld '95 convention in San
Francisco, it is now shipping VivaPress Professional version 1.5 for Apple
Macintosh computers. VivaPress Professional 1.5 is ships with a 'Smart
Install disk' which includes both the 68k and the PowerMac versions and
determines which system the user has to correctly install the proper
program version.

VivaPress Professional is an extremely powerful, time saving application
for designers, publishers and production professionals to use in creating
and working with documents. It combines the best of typesetting, page
layout, graphics illustration and workflow tools in one program.
"VivaPress Professional is easier to use than other design/layout
programs," states Frank Elge, president of Interpress Technologies Corp.
"Among its' many creativity enhancing features is a 'context-sensitive
interface', wherein the tools and menus intelligently change to deliver
the just the right tools as the cursor moves over an object and selects
it. The user can also choose to make any object into a text, picture or
graphic item, and unique hierarchical style sheet controls for each."

In addition to single character style sheets for text and customizable drop
caps, users can mark any text item for indexing, table of contents and
bibliographies, as well as avail themselves of 18 different language
dictionaries for use in multi-lingual documents.

VivaPress Professionals' unique Alias technology gives designers more
freedom when working with multi-page documents and using repeating design
elements. Instead of copying, any text, picture or graphic item can be
made into an alias, which retains an active-link to the original.
Mark-David Fennell, manager of documents at Citicorp Securities Inc., in
New York, said he saves time working on lengthy documents. "If I had to
change an attribute of one picture box, I didn't have to go through and do
it to 212 pictures". Any changes made to an original are instantly
reflected in the aliases, no matter where they are in the document, saving
on memory and increasing productivity.

With a robust graphics toolset, the user has full bezier control over
polygons and lines, patterns and fills, and splitting and mirroring of
objects. In addition, the product ships with 'Addin' filters that allow
the user to open and edit Macromind Freehand and Adobe Illustrator files
from within VivaPress Professional.

VivaPress Professional is positioned as a complete tool for designers to
streamline document creation and also as a way for service bureaus and
prepress professionals to simplify file prep. "The auto-sensing of items
is ideal for increasing design productivity. In fact, anyone interested in
using a single application to meet most of their professional document
creation and publishing chores, or to streamline production should
consider VivaPress Professional", states beta user Taz Tally, director of
the PICA Communication Technical Resource Center of Charlotte, NC.

Included in its' many workflow capabilities are the ability to control user
access privileges to program functions, full trapping capabilities,
including trapping to a color, full color model support, a printable
document statistics palette and the ability to see documents in 8-page and
16-page signatures on screen. Because Vivapress Professional can zoom from
between 10% and 1000%, these views are live (non-thumbnail), and offer the
user unprecedented flexibility in document control.

VivaPress Professional fully supports 'Addin' technology to allow third
parties to add functionality and enhance its already rich feature set.
There is a software developers kit available for qualified third party
developers.

VivaPress Professional version 1.5 has an SRP of $895, with free technical
support. For a 'limited time' QuarkXpress and Pagemaker users can take
advantage of VivaPress Professional's competitive upgrade for $295. In
addition, while quantities last, the upgrade includes an AGFA Type CD-ROM
disk and 500 wildlife images on Photo-CD. More information is available
from Interpress Technologies Corp. In addition to an authorized VAR
program and educational discounts, there is an 'Authorized Service bureau'
program, where a non-saving 'runtime' version is available to allow
service bureaus to print customer files.
