December 3, 1995 - Synchronization software from Ives Development will 
make it possible to deploy Lotus Development Corp.'s Notes applications 
in mobile environments that use the Newton MessagePad.

  In January, the British company -- which makes products that integrate
Lotus Notes with relational database products -- plans to ship software 
that
connects Apple Computer Inc. MessagePads to integrated Notes database
environments.

  With the product, users will be able to send Notes mail from the Newton
and synchronize information between the Newton and corporate Notes 
databases
or their desktop Notes clients, the company said.

  The TeamAgent software, which includes a host and Newton client software
for about $150 per user, will operate across serial or modem connections.
Final pricing has not been set, the company said.

  TeamAgent users can standardize information between the Newton and their
desktop computers.  Newton users with serial connections can also
synchronize files with corporate hosts once they have connected to their
desktop PCs.  Users who connect to corporate LANs via dial-up connections
will be able to directly access and exchange data with the corporate 
hosts,
the company said. TeamAgent can be configured to synchronize information
between any Lotus Notes and Newton databases but comes ready to coordinate
mail, the date book, and address file information.  TeamAgent requires the
Newton 2.0 OS.

  Ives Development, a division of Ives & Co., is setting up its U.S.
headquarters in Wakefield, Mass.  Its Huntington, England, office can be
