Auckland, New Zealand -- April 10, 1999, -- iNTERFACEWARE Ltd., market leader in
implementation independent Health Level Seven (HL7) mapping technologies,
today announced the availability of a beta version of their HL7 Chameleon product
for C++.  This follows on from the positive reception from the Visual Basic community
of the first edition of HL7 Chameleon.

HL7 Chameleon provides HL7 portability by shielding application code from the specific
form of the generated HL7 messages. In this way application interface code is future
proofed for new HL7 3.0 standards which are based on XML and SIGOPT. It is the
only HL7 messaging toolkit in the world designed from inception to do this.

"HL7 Chameleon tackles the most fundamental problem of HL7 interfacing", explains
Eliot Muir, MD and founder of iNTERFACEWARE,  "No two HL7 implementations are
the same - the HL7 standard does not provide enough structure to unambiguously
define the protocol - I've talked to companies who are faced with implementing and
supporting no less than 47 different versions of HL7!  It's a real problem, and up until
now there have been no products in the market specifically designed to solve it".

"We've had an excellent response from Visual Basic developers - my favorite reaction
was from a recent user who exclaimed  "This is really great! I have only had brief look
but what a breath of fresh air, it is so easy to use.".  His statement really sums up what
iNTERFACEWARE is all about.  We provide software tools that have a low total cost
of ownership throughout their entire life-cycle.  A great development tool has to be
easy to learn, have the power to achieve the task in hand and have the solid
architecture required to provide long term ease of maintenance - HL7 Chameleon
has all those attributes."

"The addition of C++ support to the HL7 Chameleon family represents a significant
advance in HL7 technology.   Now C++ developers will be able to enjoy the same
benefits that Visual Basic HL7 Chameleon developers have already experienced."
