PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

JetForm, developed by the JetForm Corporation, based in Ottawa, Canada,
provides for a complete forms development, management, and
production system. Electronic forms can be produced and used to
collect, store, share, and retrieve information for everything from
insurance claims and job applications to invoices and shipping labels.

JetForm, only available in Europe at this time, also prints in all fonts
supported by Digital printers. JetForm removes the need for preprinted forms
by allowing the generation and maintenance of forms inhouse, resulting in a
highly productive and cost effective forms environment.

The JetForm environment consists of four specialized products that work
either independently or together, depending on user requirements:

o  JetForm Design -- A full featured, PC based electronic forms design and
   fill software product using MS-Windows. (See SPDs 55.37, 55.38.)

o  JetForm Filler -- Provides a data entry capability. (See SPDs 55.39,
   55.40.)

o  JetForm Merge -- Allows users to merge variable data contained in files
   created by host applications with forms. (See SPD 55.41.)

o  JetForm Server -- Enables access to client/server forms capabilities from
   any remote application on the network; allows the user to automate the
   entire process of data collection and the merging/distribution of that
   data within an electronic form. (See SPDs 53.37, 55.43, 55.44.)

BENEFITS

o  Eliminates the need for expensive preprinted forms.

o  Allows the user to design, modify, and change forms.

o  Allows the search and retrieval of all databases resident on the network
   to enable data to be sent to the form automatically.

o  Enables the local or remote printing ability of the electronic form
   anywhere on the network.

o  Forms can be stored and modified from the PC.
