mdbs Shipping Object/1 for Windows and OS/2

Lafayette, IN - August 5, 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 available for both 32-bit OS/2
and Windows. Object/1 3.0 offers superior control at the lowest levels of
graphical interface development. Developers can create highly portable
applications and tweak them for maximum performance in either environment.
Major enhancements in Object/1 3.0 include 32-bit operation (OS/2 only),
improved database connectivity and performance, and complete portability
of applications between OS/2 and Windows

"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 improve
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 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 in
mission-critical applications development. Version 3.0 synchronizes
Object/1 in Windows and OS/2 2.x. Therefore, developers can write an
application in OS/2 and recompile it to run in Windows without making any
code changes and visa-versa.

Sales Information

The Object/1 version 3.0 package includes: the base system * one
professional pack * and the application development system (ADS). The ADS
allows royalty-free distribution of an unlimited number of applications.
