  THE XENOMORPH SYSTEM
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  The Xenomorph System has developed quite significantly in the last 
  few months and if you have visited the web site recently, you will
  see that it too has changed quite dramatically. The following news
  extracts will give you a flavour of recent Xenomorph System develop-
  ments but for a fuller picture, you may like to visit the site 
  yourself. You can find it at http://www.xenomorph.com .

  XENOMORPH ANNOUNCE NEW COM INTERFACE FOR THE XENOMORPH SYSTEM
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  The new COM programming interface for the Xenomorph System is now 
  going into beta, in final preparation for its full release in January 
  1999. The Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) is the most widely 
  used component software model technology in the world. It allows 
  system designers and implementers access across many different 
  development environments including Visual C++, Visual Basic and VBA, 
  Delphi and Java. 
  
  The Xenomorph System COM interface extends this inter-operability 
  since it provides clients with ready-to-run COM access to real time, 
  static and historic data directly from Bloomberg, FactSet, FAME, 
  Reuters and any other Xenomorph System configured data source, 
  including native Xenomorph Databases. The addition of the Xenomorph 
  System COM interface means that the development of component-based 
  financial applications is easier than ever before! 

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  MORE DATA CONNECTIVITY FOR THE XENOMORPH SYSTEM:
  FACTSET, OPEN BLOOMBERG AND REUTERS TRIARCH 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  As part of a commitment to open connectivity for the Xenomorph System, 
  Xenomorph have announced the addition of three new sources of 
  historic and real-time data, connecting the Xenomorph driver
  interface to the leading market data platforms: FactSet, Open 
  Bloomberg and Reuters Triarch.
   
  Data feeds supported in this way become huge 'virtual databases' of 
  market data and therefore users of the Xenomorph System can then use 
  the Xenomorph interfaces to Microsoft Excel, Visual Basic and C/C++ 
  to access and manipulate data directly from these data feeds, as if 
  they were native Xenomorph Databases. 

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  THE XENOMORPH SYSTEM LINKS TO FAME/SITESERVER DATABASES. 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  The Xenomorph System now supports direct access to FAME/SiteServer 
  databases, combining the flexibility of the Xenomorph System with 
  the extensive range of financial and economic databases from FAME. 

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  XENOMORPH DEVELOPS LIFFEDATA DATABASE IMPORT TOOLS
  FOR THE XENOMORPH SYSTEM. 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  Xenomorph has now developed the tools to import LIFFE historical end 
  of day data into the Xenomorph System for option price and implied 
  volatility analysis. Price, implied volatility and volume histories 
  are available for approximately 40,000 LIFFE derivative contracts.
