WindowBuilder Pro/V 3.1 Adds Powerful Features in New Version for
VisualSmalltalk 3.1

Santa Clara, CA, January 10, 1996 - Objectshare Systems, Inc. announces
WindowBuilder Pro/V 3.1 for VisualSmalltalk 3.1. WindowBuilder Pro/V is
the leading UI builder in VisualSmalltalk, with an estimated 70% market
share. This new version for use with the new VisualSmalltalk 3.1 has many
new features that expand its power dramatically. Highlights of the new
features include support for Windows95 controls, unlimited undo/redo,
support for model objects, pool dictionary management, a portable window
and font system, and much more. WindowBuilder Pro/V 3.1 is now shipping
for VisualSmalltalk 3.1 for Windows (3.1, 95, and NT) and OS/2. 

A major rewrite has enabled many new features. Programmers can now preview
the look of the window in each operating system: Windows 3.1, Windows 95,
NT, and OS/2. A national language system (NLS) management tool lets
programmers automatically manage national language strings. It can
automatically build the pool dictionaries of strings by pulling the
strings from the window definitions. An unlimited undo/redo system allows
programmers to selectively undo and redo actions using a undo/redo editor.
A new font manager enables programmers to make windows that are truly
portable between operating systems and screen resolutions. A pool
dictionary manager provides tools to manage bitmaps, fonts, and NLS
strings. 

WindowBuilder Pro/V 3.1 includes several new systems for creating and
managing event-driven model objects. Examples of event-driven models are
Timers, SharedValues, and subclasses of EventManager. A model definition
wizard helps define and generate the model class and hook up the events. A
layout wizard can automatically create a first cut at a UI for the model.


WindowBuilder Pro/V still includes features such as specialized editors for
all controls, nested components, automatic alignment and sizing, toolbars,
morphing, a bitmap manager, and scrapbook. It will also generate PARTS
that can be used to build applications in the PARTS Workbench. (The PARTS
Workbench is a tool to visually assemble applications graphically. PARTS
Workbench is included in VisualSmalltalk.) 

WindowBuilder Pro/V 3.1 is compatible with Team/V (a component of
VisualSmalltalk Enterprise), ENVY, XoteryX, edIt, Tensegrity, ODBCTalk,
Smalltalk SQL, the PARTS RDBI Wrapper and many other third-party products.
There are no royalties for distribution of end-user applications.
WindowBuilder Pro/V also includes complete documentation, a how-to
cookbook, and ninety days of free technical support from Smalltalk experts
at OSI by telephone, fax, and CompuServe. It comes with a 30-day
money-back guarantee. 

WindowBuilder Pro/V costs $495. It is available for immediate shipment in
two versions, for VisualSmalltalk 3.1 for Windows (3.1, 95, and NT) and
for VisualSmalltalk 3.1 for OS/2. Programmers can place orders or obtain
