NobleNet, Inc., today announced and demonstrated the industry's first
Client/Server Toolkit for NetWare Developers at Brainshare '96.

Targeted at ISVs and corporate end users, the Toolkit consists of
NobleNet's award-winning "EZ-RPC for NetWare" compiler and a NobleNet
Distribution License that grants unlimited royalty-free distribution of
the target application. For a limited time, NobleNet will bundle a free
copy of its "RPC Gateway" NLM with every Toolkit.  A special NetWare
version of EZ-RPC in the Toolkit automatically generates Remote Procedure
Call (RPC) NLMs used in client/server computing. The RPC Gateway NLM
resides on a NetWare 3.11, 3.12, or 4.1 server. With the Gateway, Windows
3.1, 95, or NT clients running NetWare can initiate RPCs over Novell's
SPX/IPX protocol stack, which communicate with UNIX servers or other
platforms running TCP/IP.

EZ-RPC supports rapid prototyping of distributed applications. The compiler
generates clean, readable, commented 'C' code, and supports complex 'C'
data structures without recoding or modification. EZ-RPC runs on more than
40 platforms and supports over 20 TCP/IP stacks, including Novell's LAN
Workplace for DOS. This allows NetWare developers to interface their
custom NLMs to a wide variety of clients and servers running SPX/IPX,
TCP/IP, or both. Using EZ-RPC, developers can distribute any application
or API. Typical APIs include those for databases, devices, datafeeds and
compute engines.

NetWare and TCP/IP Windows clients can use EZ-RPC with popular GUI tools
such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, PowerBuilder, and Delphi. EZ-RPC for
Windows automatically generates RPC DLLs that are callable from these
4GLs. With EZ-RPC, developers can choose between two industry-standard
wire-compatible RPC models. The Sun ONC RPC uses TCP/IP as its transport.
The AT&T/Novell Transport Independent (TI) RPC is bundled with NetWare and
uses either Novell's SPX/IPX or TCP/IP.

NobleNet and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs)

NobleNet permits ISVs unlimited royalty-free distribution of applications
developed using EZ-RPC. NetWare developers can compile with EZ-RPC for
NetWare and deploy applications without ever paying a runtime or per-user
royalty.
