Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
         With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

         In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, certain
shareholders of Omega Research, Inc. and onlinetradinginc.com corp. entered into
a Voting Trust Agreement, to be effective at the effective time of the Merger
which was December 29, 2000 (the "Effective Time"), pursuant to which shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer owned by them after the Effective Time are subject to
the terms of a voting trust. The shareholders of Omega Research, Inc. who
entered into the Voting Trust Agreement are WRCF-I 1997 Limited Partnership,
WRCF-II 1997 Limited Partnership, RLCF-I 1997 Limited Partnership and RLCF-II
1997 Limited Partnership (collectively, the "Cruz Group"). The Cruz Group
collectively holds an aggregate of 18,313,108 shares of Common Stock
representing approximately 41.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer. The shareholders of onlinetradinginc.com corp. who entered into the
Voting Trust Agreement are Andrew A. Allen, Andrew A. Allen Family Limited
Partnership, Tafazzoli Family Limited Partnership, zum Tobel Family Limited
Partnership, Derek J. Hernquist and Benedict S. Gambino (collectively, the
"Online Group"). The Online Group collectively holds an aggregate of
approximately 15,263,997 shares of Common Stock representing approximately 34.4%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The parties to the
Voting Trust Agreement have agreed that during the term of the Voting Trust
Agreement and the continuance of the voting trust created under that agreement
the voting trustee, Marc J. Stone, is required with respect to shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer subject to the voting trust to vote and abstain from voting
or otherwise to participate in shareholder actions, including executing written
consents, in all matters relating to the Issuer subject to and limited by and as
directed pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement.

         From and after the Effective Time, the Cruz Group has the right to
direct the voting trustee to vote all of the shares subject to the voting trust
in a manner such that five of the total of eight directors constituting the
board of directors of the Issuer, two of which are required to be independent
directors, are designated by the Cruz Group. The Online Group has the right to
direct the voting trustee to vote all of the shares subject to the voting trust
in a manner such that three of such total number of eight directors, one of
which is required to be an independent director, are designated by the Online
Group. In the event that the number of directors constituting the board of
directors of the Issuer is increased or decreased, then each group of
shareholders will be entitled to designate its number of the total number of
directors of the Issuer based upon a ratio of 62.5% for the Cruz Group
shareholders and 37.5% for the Online Group. If the foregoing ratio yields other
than whole numbers as to the number of directors for which each group of
shareholders is entitled to designate the shares to be

voted, then the number of directors which each such group is entitled to
designate shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the one
remaining directorship that this rounding down will create shall be designated
by the Cruz Group.

         With respect to all matters other than the election of directors as to
which a vote (or written consent) of shareholders of the Issuer will be made,
the voting trustee will vote the shares owned by each shareholder who is a party
to the Voting Trust Agreement as specifically instructed in writing by the
shareholder owning the beneficial interest in, and voting trust certificate
relating to, such shares. In the event that the voting trustee does not timely
receive such written voting instructions, in whole or in part, from a
shareholder, then the voting trustee shall abstain from voting the shares owned
by such shareholder with respect to any or all matters as to which the voting
trustee has not received written voting instructions.

         The voting trust shall dissolve on the earliest of the following dates:
(i) the second anniversary of the Effective Time; (ii) the date when the voting
trustee shall resign in writing unless such vacancy is timely filled as provided
under the Voting Trust Agreement; (iii) the date when the Issuer's shareholders
who are parties to the Voting Trust Agreement holding 67% or more of the shares
then subject to that agreement shall execute a written instrument so declaring;
or (iv) the date when less than 75% of the aggregate number of shares owned as
of the Effective Time by either the Cruz Group or the Online Group remains
subject to the voting trust.
