Stone Design Announces Create HTML
for Apple Rhapsody and the Yellow Box.

May 12, 1997, San Jose, CA - Stone Design, a longtime leader in the NeXT/OpenStep marketplace, announced Create HTML for Rhapsody and the Yellow Box today. Create is a full-featured DTP and Web Publishing app that has been shipping for 8 years. The HTML version of Create will run on Apple's new operating system code named "Rhapsody", as well as OpenStep for Windows95 and NT, MACH and SOLARIS. It is the first commercial application for Rhapsody.

"Macintosh developers and end users will just love Create!" said Andrew Stone, CEO of Stone Design. "Because we ported Create to OpenStep last year, it already runs well on INTEL, SPARC and Motorola architectures. This gave us the head start needed to be the first to market with a time-tested product. Create is a great boon to the new generation of Rhapsody developers."

Create HTML adds new features to the OpenStep and NeXTSTEP versions of Create. The HTML module turns Create documents into sets of interconnected WYSIWYG web pages automatically, and produces pictorial tables of contents. The Video plug-in enables users to run QuickTime videos within a Create document. Create HTML can export graphics as JPEG, as well as the standard EPS, PS, RTF, TIFF, ASCII and native formats.


"We're excited about the new release and know that our existing customer base can testify that Create is the drawing package to use, for any purpose!" said Katie Graunke, Marketing and Sales director for Stone. "Come visit us at the World Wide Developer Conference in San Jose May 13 - 16 and see for yourself how amazing Create is."

This new version has an introductory price of $249.
