NEWS The deal will allow Macromedia to move beyond its audience of web authors and rope in web developers who use server development software such as Allaire's ColdFusion and Jrun. Allaire will get $3 cash and one fifth of a Macromedia share for each Allaire share. Jeremy Allaire, CEO of the eponymous company, will be chief technology officer of the merged company. Macromedia announced that it had boosted profits for its third quarter by 97 per cent to $16.2m compared to the third quarter last year.
