ROGUE WAVE'S JFACTORY EXTENDS PLATFORM SUPPORT TO OS/2

CROSS-PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT GIVES OS/2 DEVELOPERS ACCESS TO
WIN95, WINNT

CORVALLIS, OR --May 1, 1996-- Rogue Wave Software today announced that
JFactory, its visual development environment and code generator for Java,
now supports programmers developing under OS/2. Programmers who use OS/2
can develop applications with JFactory that can be transparently deployed
to any operating system supporting Java. JFactory also supports Win95,
WinNT, HP-UX and Sun Solaris as development platforms.

"OS/2 is a superior operating system for application development and now
with Java, it's even richer," said John Patrick, vice president, Internet
technology at IBM. "Rogue Wave is a leader in cross-platform development
tools, so this is an ideal entry point into Java for OS/2 developers."

Programs written in Java are compiled into a portable code base called
byte-code. The byte-code for Java applets, written specifically for
browsers, can be interpreted by any Web browser with a Java interpreter,
independent of the underlying operating system. The byte-code for Java
applications can be re-compiled for specific plaftorms to maximize speed.

"OS/2 is a critical platform for Rogue Wave," said Dan Whitaker, Rogue
Wave's executive vice president. "In order to serve our international
customer base, it's essential for us to support this platform."

Price and Availability

JFactory V1.0.1 for OS/2 is priced at $495 for a single-user license and is
available immediately. Site licenses are also available. In addition to
other channels of distribution, it can be purchased on-line through Rogue
Wave's Web site, http://www.roguewave.com
