ProtoView Introduces The ProtoGen+ Client/Server Suite

Dayton, NJ -- May 2, 1994 -- ProtoView Development Co. announced today the
release of the ProtoGen+ Client/Server Suite, version 4.20. The ProtoGen+
Client/Server Suite delivers an integrated best-of-breed toolset in an
open architecture that includes database access, forms building, report
writing, application management and quality code generation in C, MFC, OWL
and Pascal.

Instead of relying on limited 4GLs, the ProtoGen+ Client/Server Suite
harnesses the power and speed of C and C++, the world's most popular
development languages. It also makes the Suite open to any compiler,
debugger, or text editor. To keep up with fast changing technology,
ProtoGen+ has been designed with the ability to extend its Visual
Programming and Code Generation through Visual Coders, custom controls,
and window messages.

"The ProtoGen+ Client/Server Suite is uniquely positioned as a visual
development environment for building xBase and Client/Server applications
in C and C++. Our goal is to provide an open environment with the
productivity of a 4GL without the runtime overhead or limitations of
proprietary languages. We have achieved this level of productivity through
the use of visual programming, code generation, custom controls, and
advanced forms building", said Dean Guida, President of ProtoView
Development.

The ProtoGen+ Client/Server Suite includes the following components:

ProtoGen+ - A Visual Development Workbench including everything needed to
visually develop screens, create menus, link screens and dialogs, test the
application and generate source code. Source code generators for
Microsoft, Borland, Symantec, and Watcom C, MFC 2.0/2.5, OWL 1.0/2.0, and
Borland Pascal with Objects 7.0 and Turbo Pascal 1.5 are included in the
box.

SQLView Database Access - Creates forms from database tables automatically.
Visually link control objects to database columns and attach database
operations to buttons and bitmaps. SQLView provides access to all major
database engines through Q+E Software's Q+E Library or ODBC drivers.
SQLView also comes with a database independent API that gives the
developer complete control of database access. Developers are able to
build applications using Paradox, dBase, Btrieve, Oracle, Sybase, SQL
Server, Informix, and DB2 to name a few of the DBMSs supported by the
ProtoGen+ Client/Server Suite.

DataTable Spreadsheet Control and DataTable Lens Object - A high powered
grid control and database browsing object with the best features and the
best performance for displaying large amounts of data in row/column
format. Display and edit databases without coding. Set colors, fonts and
picture formatting for cells. Programmers can visually gain access to any
database table through point and click actions. Database records can be
added, updated or deleted by the user with no coding needed.

Crystal Report Writer Pro with Report Writer Visual Coder - The Report
Writer Visual Coder extends the Visual Programming and Code Generation
capabilities of ProtoGen+ to include report writing. Now you can visually
create reports using the latest report writing features of the Crystal
Reports Pro for ProtoGen+ Ver 3.0. The Visual Coder will then display your
reports live in test mode of ProtoGen+ and generate the code for the
Crystal Report Engine.

WinControl Custom Control Library - An expandable DLL of 14 rich Windows
controls that let users obtain, format and edit data entered by users.
Common features found throughout the controls include 3D effects, picture
formatting, context-sensitive help, DDE links, error messages, data
validation, and setting custom colors and fonts. The WinControl Library
includes numeric, date, string, currency, ticker tape, 3D text, 3D frame,
bitmap, icon, color, icon/bitmap buttons, real, enhanced listbox and
enhanced combobox controls.
