FREMONT, CA - April 27th, 2001- AbriaSoft(tm), an Open Source software
solutions provider, announced that Merlin Server, a powerful web
development and production server for Windows and Linux platforms, can now
be downloaded for free from their website. Merlin Server tightly integrates
industry-leading open source technologies such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache,
SSL, Perl, PhP and WebDAV with effective, easy to use development tools and
templates. The result is a highly cost-effective, turnkey
development/deployment server platform.

Merlin server, like its predecessor Abria SQL Standard, supports Apache/SSL
and ODBC connectivity, providing clients the ability to create applications
using industry standard commercial software such as Microsoft Access, Fox
Pro, Visual Basic, and Clarion as front ends for MySQL, PostgreSQL or other
databases such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.  Besides support for core
development languages such as PHP and PERL, Merlin server provides graphical
development tools (IDEs) to accelerate development, and includes a complete
open source e-commerce software platform.

"We are making advanced web-development and deployment simple for anyone to
use. All the required core elements are tightly integrated to provide a
seamless development environment. Merlin Server provides easy installation
and configuration of all the tools needed to design and host a fully secure
and e-commerce capable website," says Paul Afshar, AbriaSoft CEO.

Merlin Server includes a wealth of user-friendly development applications
such as mod-dav, PHP MyAdmin, Zend Optimizer, Mod_perl, mod_ssl, PhpShop,
PHP-Nuke, PHP-coder, Bluefish, Akopia and more. Merlin server comes with a
liberal licensing scheme, extensive documentation, and an electronic
installation manual. This product is now available for free with no
technical support at AbriaSoft's web site (www.AbriaSoft.com).
