DELRINA SHIPS FORMFLOW(TM) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT FOR CORPORATE DEVELOPERS AND VARS.

SAN JOSE, Calif. and TORONTO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 1995--Delrina Corp., the world leader in electronic forms, Monday announced the immediate availability of the Delrina FormFlow Software Development Kit (SDK).

The FormFlow SDK allows software developers to incorporate electronic form features into their new or existing applications. Users can quickly and easily add the powerful database connectivity, e-mail integration and forms routing capabilities of FormFlow to their enterprise-wide client server applications.

The FormFlow SDK is currently available directly from Delrina for US$249 (Cdn$349) and includes one year of free expanded technical support.

"Since no workflow solution is completely turnkey, it is important for companies to be able to customize and refine a given process to best fit their specific needs. This includes working with existing applications," said Karl Wong, Principal Analyst, PC & Workgroup Software, at Dataquest, San Jose.

"By providing the necessary Visual Basic and C interfaces through the low cost FormFlow SDK, Delrina is lowering the barriers and making workflow computing more of a reality."

Connecticut Mutual, Hartford, Conn., has implemented Delrina FormFlow and the SDK in their customer service centers and for human resources applications.

"The SDK lets us develop forms applications in languages of our choice such as Visual Basic and C++ as well as integrate electronic forms capabilities into our existing applications," said Peg Hubner, Manager, Command Center Utilities -- Client Server Engineering, Connecticut Mutual.

"With the FormFlow SDK, we are able to develop new applications and add features to existing applications in days, that would otherwise take months. Because of the product's native support for e-mail systems and databases, it saves us a great deal of development time."

Delrina Strategic Solution Partners are using the SDK to develop everything from enterprise wide corporate solutions like that of Connecticut Mutual to shrink-wrapped products for vertical markets.

"We have been using the alpha and beta versions of the FormFlow SDK for nine months and have found it indispensable in the development of our shrink-wrapped product, EILA [Electronic Immigration Lawyers Assistant]," said Ben Payami, Product Development Manager at Multimedia Abacus, a Delrina Strategic Solution Partner.

Matthew Bender & Co., the legal entity and subsidiary of Times Mirror Company, is publishing and marketing EILA to law offices and immigration attorneys.

"The SDK is a bridge between the forms and workflow capabilities of Delrina FormFlow and our own application development. We were able to use Visual Basic and C when required and we easily integrated the database functionality of dBase, supported by FormFlow. The messaging API included in the SDK allowed us to develop our own e-mail capabilities in EILA," said Payami.

"The SDK has given us the ultimate in development tools for forms functionality and has allowed our development staff to produce a shrink-wrapped product in less than half the time it would have taken with a non-forms development tool like PowerBuilder."

"We feel it is necessary to provide an affordable set of tools to further assist the development efforts of our customers and Strategic Solution Partners," said Teddy Rosenberg, general manager, Delrina Electronic Forms business unit.

"Everything they can do in FormFlow, including database lookup lists, workflow routing of forms through e-mail, field calculations, and all the intelligence of the electronic form, can now be accessed in C or Visual Basic applications.

"While FormFlow IFL (Intelligent Forms Language) fulfills the software development requirements of many developers, others require the ability to add forms functionality to the applications they've already developed in Visual Basic or C."

The SDK offers more than 300 external calls specific to the Visual Basic and 'C' programming languages, and includes an API (Applications Programming Interface) for e-mail, fax, and data messaging, sample code, and extra utilities such as a forms auditor.

With the FormFlow SDK, users also receive Delrina WinComm PRO(tm) on-line communication software and the Delrina WinFax PRO(tm) Phonebook Server API. Through WinComm PRO developers can contact Delrina's technical support or other FormFlow users via the Delrina forum on CompuServe.

The WinFax PRO Phonebook Server API allows users to merge their database information directly into the WinFax phonebook.

A new level of developer support exclusively for FormFlow SDK users provides product updates and upgrades and access to a special developer's section of the Delrina CompuServe Forum, where customers can post questions to Delrina Technical Support or have open discussions with other developers.

Access to Delrina's Knowledge Base featuring such information as technical notes and marketing collateral is also available. The renewal fee for expanded technical support is only US$99 (Cdn$129) per year.
