Victoria, B.C., - September 15, 2000 - ACD Systems International, Inc.

In addition to shipping ACDSee Version 3 software with new Model 4800 DAWs, Kodak will also supply ACDSee to all current Model 4800 DAW owners.
President and CEO, Doug Vandekerkhove, of ACD Systems commented " Kodak's decision to incorporate ACDSee software in its system is reassuring that ACDSee is the ideal tool for controlling and proofing image documents. Kodak's enthusiastic acceptance of our software helps support our leadership in the fast-growing digital imaging field."
