MetaSolv Software Announces Release of PowerFrame Framework Library V3.0

New Quick Start Application Generator Easily Creates Skeleton Project and
Decreases Developers' Learning Curve

DALLAS, January 15, 1996 -- MetaSolv Software, Inc., which develops and
markets add-on tools for PowerBuilder, today announced PowerFrame
Framework Library Version 3.0. The award-winning Framework Library
combines power with exceptional ease of use to provide developers with an
extensible class library of objects as well as an application framework.

New features within PowerFrame V3.0 include a Quick Start Application
Generator. The Quick Start Generator creates a skeleton project
PowerBuilder Library File complete with an application object, MDI frame,
menus, *.ini files, and more. Also in V3.0, the Message Manager, which
standardizes error and information messages, will handle multiple
transaction errors and support several common DBMS errors. In addition,
several new window classes and a Script Tracer function are provided.

PowerFrame V3.0 offers many benefits for the PowerBuilder developer team.
The Object Library consists of over 100 objects and over 4000 man-hours of
effort. "Developers consistently report their ability with PowerFrame to
produce fully functional windows with 35% to 50% less effort then
developing the same functionality without PowerFrame," said Dana Brown,
product development manager, at MetaSolv.

PowerFrame provides a consistent user interface throughout an application
by inheriting common window classes, window controls, user objects, menus
and other common objects. Application maintenance is greatly simplified
because changes can be made once in PowerFrame and then inherited
throughout the entire application system.

Comprehensive hypertext Developer's Guide, accessible from within
PowerBuilder provides convenient and efficient documentation on all
objects. The Reference Manual provides information on installation
procedures, PowerFrame's approach to development, and guidelines for
customizing the Application Framework Library. A comprehensive Tutorial is
also provided to give hands-on experience in using the objects to build an
application.

PowerFrame Framework Library V3.0 is currently available from MetaSolv
Software, for $395.00 per developer. The upgrade subscription from V2.5 is
$95.00. Quantity discounts and Corporate licenses are available. MetaSolv
Software, Inc. can be reached at 1-800-747-0791 or contact by WWW at
