IFLYW is a warrant on IFLY (800 Travel systems). IFLY had a nice run the past 5 weeks from 2 to 11, currently at about 8 3/4. Watch out, they are going to announce the Q-results in the next days. Another major jump is very likely. Back to ACNTF. Getting financing may mean to get enough money to remain listed in NASDAQ. Does not mean necessarily, they get important deals, which are necessary to support the business results and drive stock and EPS. In case you are in contact with the company, is it possible for you to check the status of the russian deal. That was the big story expected (hopefully not the big hype) 2 months ago. Gogo

If it can survive, Accent's subsidiary is developing fantastic software. There was a favorable article in the 5/4/98 Business Week and the following from the SJ Mercury News, April 27, 1998, by DAN GILLMOR: ''Dear Agent: I'm shopping for a new raincoat, because El Ni¤o won't go away. Please check the Website men's clothing catalogs and, as soon as their spring sales begin, let me know when the prices come down below $100.'' That mock message to a computer hints at the potential for agent software -- programs that automate the hunting and searching we all find ourselves doing on the Web. Agents can save time, and they don't get bored. AgentSoft Ltd., based in Jerusalem, is working on some Java-based programs that are getting great reviews. Bruce Krulwich, the company's senior research scientist, and several of his colleagues showed me some sample agents that were rough around the edges, at least from a fit-and-finish standpoint, but nonetheless struck me as a big step toward that Web-automation holy grail. I was especially intrigued with one that gathered information about companies from a variety of Web-sites; if I were gathering background material on a company this would be a huge help. The company has posted a beta version of LiveAgent Pro 1.1, which is aimed at Web developers on corporate intranets and publicly accessible Internet Websites. You can find demonstration applications, which run only in the 4.0 and above versions of Netscape and Microsoft browsers, on the company's Website (www.agentsoft.com/demos). ''We're focusing on the user who is able to find things, but who lacks the time and energy,'' Krulwich said. ''The information on the Web is valuable, but browsing the Web isn't.''
