Metrowerks Announces JavaOS Support

CodeWarrior Programming Tools To Build Embedded Applications

AUSTIN, Texas-Embargo until May 29, 1996-Metrowerks, Inc. (TSE, ME:MWK)
announced today that Metrowerks CodeWarrior tools will provide full
support for JavaOS, a new product unveiled today by JavaSoft, an operating
company of Sun Microsystems.

JavaOS, previously code-named "Kona", is a highly-compact embedded
operating system designed to run on a broad range of platforms, including
recently announced low-cost network computers, cellular telephones, PDAs,
game machines and other devices.

Metrowerks plans to introduce full JavaOS support in the fourth calendar
quarter of 1996 in a new version of Metrowerks CodeWarrior which will
include support for embedded industry-standard file formats (ELF),
application binary interfaces (EABI) and debugging formats (DWARF).
Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Embedded Systems will support embedded
application development for the 68K, PowerPC, MIPS and x86 families of
microprocessors and will be hosted on Mac OS, Windows95 and WindowsNT. It
will feature both serial and TCP/IP target development support for
source-level debugging. Pricing for Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Embedded
Systems has not yet been established.

"JavaSoft is extremely pleased that Metrowerks will be supporting full
application development for JavaOS with Metrowerks CodeWarrior," said Jim
Mitchell, vice president & chief technology officer of JavaSoft.
"Metrowerks' dedication to supporting embedded application development was
a major factor in our selecting Metrowerks as a strategic partner to
support JavaOS."

"In working closely with Sun Microsystems, we intend to provide full
support in CodeWarrior for development of JavaOS network-ready
applications," said Greg Galanos, president and CEO of Metrowerks.
"Metrowerks CodeWarrior is the ideal solution for developers interested in
Java-based tools to complement their adoption of the JavaOS."
