VANCOUVER, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 2002

E-Botz, a provider of enterprise software applications, today announced the release of NQL 3.0(TM).

NQL (Network Query Language) is a powerful scripting language that is ideal for creating diverse applications such as bots, intelligent agents, rules engines, decision-making applications and web applications. You can think of NQL as a kind of shorthand for Internet and network programming. NQL greatly reduces development time while adding significant capabilities to applications.

"NQL 3.0 is a major release, which takes advantage of -- and extends -- the vast library of service provided by Microsoft's .Net. There are new .Net-based NQL library objects, which provide powerful capabilities in the areas of Web, Web service, XML, database, and meta tagging," said David Pallmann, CTO of E-Botz.

NQL contains powerful building blocks in four areas: communication, conversion, automation, and intelligent behavior. Communication capabilities include reading web pages, crawling web sites, interacting with databases, sending/receiving email, interacting with terminal-based systems, accessing applications, network monitoring, and dozens of other protocols. Conversion capabilities allow programs to work with text, HTML, XML, binary information, files, documents, images, audio, and video. Automation capabilities include scheduling of processing, multi-threading, agent-to-agent communication, and synchronization. Artificial intelligence capabilities include neural networking, Bayesian inference, pattern matching and fuzzy logic features.

"The focus of NQL 3.0 was on XML: XML, XML translation, XML interoperability, and Web services," said Lonnie Wills, Chief Executive Officer at E-Botz.

NQL 3.0 has nearly 1500 statements and functions. NQL 3.0 introduces new functionality in groups of library objects. There is a Web object, an XML object, a Soap object for Web Services, and a Data object. Each of these is powerful and sophisticated, yet easy to use.

"Our goal was to create the ability for organizations to quickly create Web services. NQL 3.0 greatly reduces the time to create and transform applications as Web Services and saves companies thousands of dollars on development," said Lonnie Wills.
