Deneba Software Turns 15!; Graphics Software Pioneer Celebrates 15th Anniversary.

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2001

Deneba Software, best known as the creators of Deneba Canvas and the inventors of Sprite technology, announced today the culmination of its 15th successful year of operation. Founded in 1986, Deneba has provided the computer industry with a host of well-received software products and cutting-edge innovations. The South Florida-based company was one of the first software developers to launch a widely accepted, professional level, illustration program. In addition, Deneba has routinely been recognized as a leading pioneer in developing new graphic software technologies.

The firm started with a primary focus on the emerging Macintosh market in the mid-eighties with the launch of a successful series of linguistic products that included MacLightning, Voila, Comment, Spelling Coach and BigThesaurus. While continuing to pioneer the desk utility market, Deneba began an extensive research and development program that focused on the then infant desktop publishing and digital graphic design industry.

As a result of this effort, Deneba released Canvas(TM) 1.0 in 1987. Canvas was the world's first program to combine vector drawing and painting in a single document. Following rapid acceptance from the corporate, engineering and the then nascent digital graphics community, the firm has followed up with a long, continuous stream of innovations that continue to this day. Today, Canvas has emerged to become the world's only completely integrated graphic design program for both Macintosh and Windows platforms.

To celebrate this anniversary, Deneba will host a special anniversary section on their web site that highlights the company's history and achievements. The URL can be found at http://www.deneba.com/anniversary and will be updated continuously throughout 2001.
