enhancement to this system that will be called eHansel+, a private-label
version of our WebStory system with SmartLinks", says pTeraDac's vice president

presentations that are tightly integrated with the eHansel system."

feature WebStory SmartLinks™ connections to help coordinate the delivery
of sales, presentation and training material to the various John Hancock

presentations that connect values from web-based illustrations. This is a
tremendous competitive advantage for our producers," comments Ken Nordstrom,
