mdbs Shipping Object/1 as 32-bit OS/2 Application

Lafayette, IN - January 8, 1993 - Micro Data Base Systems (mdbs) announces
that it is shipping Object/1 version 3.0. Object/1 is an object oriented
development environment. This release is a 32-bit OS/2 version of the
product. Object/1 Version 3.0 for Windows is expected to ship by the end
of the first quarter of 1993.

The major enhancements in Object/1  3.0 include 32-bit operation, improved
database connectivity and performance, and complete portability of
applications between OS/2 and Windows.

"Object/1 offers developers superior control at the lowest level of
operation. We believe that OS/2 is becoming the platform of choice for
developers. The release of Object/1 as a 32-bit OS/2 application
reinforces our commitment to the OS/2 environment," says Kevin
Castleberry, President of mdbs Development Tools Division.

Improved Database Connectivity

In addition to operating as a 32-bit OS/2 application major enhancements
have been made to the Object/1 forms painter. These enhancements have
improved database connectivity and the assignment of functionality to
controls. The net result is an environment that merges the convenience of
point-and-click development with an extremely flexible and complete
object-oriented language. The forms painter also offers developers a
complete suite of all the new OS/2 controls.

Performance

Product performance has been improved by additional assembly and C code in
the kernel.

Synchronization with Windows 3.x

Version 3.0 also embodies mdbs' core philosophy of reducing complexity with
Windows 3.x  in mission-critical applications development. Version 3.0
will synchronize Object/1 in Windows and OS/2 2.0. Therefore, developers
can write an application in OS/2 and recompile it to run in Windows
without making any code changes and visa-versa. (more) Micro Data Base
