For Immediate Release

Maxum Development Announces TagBuilder -
Maxum Integrates Products with Adobe PageMill 2.0

MacWorld Boston, August 7, 1996 -- Maxum Development Corp. today announced
TagBuilder a Web page construction utility for PageMill 2.0. TagBuilder
will provide Macintosh Webmasters with an easy way to integrate Maxum's
NetCloak and NetForms functionality into their Web pages using PageMill.
NetCloak allows Web page designers to create pages that customize to
individual users on-the-fly. NetForms allows them to create interactive
forums and threaded discussions . TagBuilder provides an easy and
intuitive way to generate the "tags" that NetCloak and NetForms use and
then insert them into PageMill documents.

TagBuilder presents the user a window with a list of the available
features of NetCloak and NetForms . Designers can select the functionality
they are looking for, then drag the appropriate "tag" , complete with all
fields, into PageMill. The Web designer then only has to change any default
options not desired. This process ensures accurate construction of tags and
reduces the time spent maintaining pages.

TagBuilder is fully customizable, allowing the advanced user to create
their own "Tag Templates". This is a fairly simple language, and the
descriptions can be created in any text editor. TagBuilder's goal is to
make the integration of Maxum products into the design and creation of your
site as easy as possible.

"Maxum's products add tremendous functionality to Macintosh Web servers,"
said Robert Seidl, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Internet Division,
Adobe Systems Incorporated. "TagBuilder offers an easy way to extend
PageMill's functionality through NetCloak and NetForms, giving our
customers more flexibility and customization in building Web sites."

TagBuilder will be included free with PageMill 2.0, and current PageMill
users will be able to download demos from Maxum's Web site at
"http://www.maxum.com".

"TagBuilder makes NetCloak and NetForms easy and intuitive for PageMill
users to implement," said John O'Fallon, President of Maxum Development.
"Our plans are to eventually make the synergy between Maxum server tools
and Adobe content creation applications seamless."
