Well, each of the individual divisions seem to think things are just fine and dandy so what's the problem and why are we at $.50?

Can you give me an "M", an "A", an "N", an "A", a "G", an "E",.....?

What's that spell? INCOMPETENT

Wonder what the pleasant surprises, that Jonathon Sachs referred to, are?

One would be that they have sold Softquad.
Another would be that they got a good price for it.

Aug4, "in the next few weeks I hope you are pleasantly
surprised"--well were you? I have not been "pleasantly
surprised" in the last two weeks.

as far as the
"XMetaL [announcement] eta?
We currently plan on a formal announcement in November
(15/19) at SGML/XML98."

I guess I did know that--just forgot. Watching share
price crap out must have screwed up my brain.

Effective 1 September 1998, Htmlscript Corporation will change it's
name to Miva Corporation. We are changing our name to reflect that

Additionally, our products are used to implement major sites such
as Software.Net and Netscape Software Depot.

Our new web site goes online at midnight 1 September 1998:

** Miva Engine v3.2 Goes Production 24 August 1998

We're going into production with the v3.2 engine distribution next
week. Along with the name change, we're using the Htmlscript version
number for the engine since Miva is Htmlscript 3.0. The new engine
has many new features including modular program execution, memo
fields, database filtering, and many new builtin functions.

Miva Engine v3.2 is required to run Miva Merchant. Annual Upgrade
Plan members will automatically receive notification with download
information when their platform is available. Licensees that have
