BORLAND SHIPS FIVE LANGUAGE PRODUCTS Multi-Platform Language Products For Programmers At All Levels NEW YORK - June 2, 1992 - Borland International Inc. (NASDAQ:BORL) today announced the availability of five new multi-platform language releases. The new object-oriented products -- Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.1, Borland C++ 3.1, Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1, and Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 -- take advantage of the advanced features of Microsoft Windows 3.1. Borland also introduced a new member to its award-winning ObjectVision product line, ObjectVision 2.0 for OS/2. "These new Language products cement Borland's leadership in object-oriented technology for DOS, Windows and OS/2," said Gene Wang, vice president and general manager of Borland's Languages Business Unit. "From Borland C++ and Turbo Pascal for Windows to ObjectVision, Borland provides solutions for a broad range of development needs across multiple platforms." The new releases add significant features to Borland's C++ and Turbo Pascal for Windows product lines, including: * Full Windows 3.1 and 3.0 support * Color Syntax highlighting * New Windows documentation Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.1 and Borland C++ 3.1 Borland C++ 3.1 is a complete development system for professional programmers who program in C or C++. Borland C++ & Application Frameworks 3.1 includes all of Borland C++ 3.1 including the ObjectWindows and Turbo Vision application frameworks, the Runtime Library source code and the Windows API reference manual. Other new features * Strict C++ compliance * An optimizing Windows-hosted development environment * New global optimizations for C++ and 386 code generation * WinSpector - A new utility for determining the causes of UAEs * Integrated resource compilation Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1 Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1 offers an inexpensive route to Windows programming for entry level C and C++ users. Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1 includes the basic tools necessary for creating Windows applications, but does not include the professional tool set, the optimizing compiler, or the library source code. Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 is a high-productivity application development system used by VARs, consultants and educators. Borland has sold more than two million copies of Pascal worldwide. Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 now lets users take full advantage of the new features in Microsoft Windows 3.1, which include OLE, common dialogs, drag & drop, and Truetype fonts. New Features in Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 * Resource Workshop - Borland's powerful graphical design tool which enables users to visually create professional-looking user interfaces with Borland's Custom Controls. Resource Workshop replaces the Whitewater Resource Toolkit delivered with previous versions. * Speedbar - Provides programmers with quick access to many common functions * Turbo Debugger for Windows 3.0 with Super VGA support ObjectVision 2.0 for OS/2 ObjectVision is an easy way for programmers and non-programmers to create business applications for both Windows and OS/2 2.0. ObjectVision will offer the same fundamental functionality and features on OS/2 2.0 as those introduced on Windows. These include the ease of use features as well as provisions for all three aspects of application creation: application interface, business rules or application logic, and connection to databases and other applications. ObjectVision 2.0 for OS/2 features ObjectVision 2.0 for OS/2 includes all of the features in the ObjectVision 2.0 for Windows version, but with significant enhancements that exploit the OS/2 2.0 operating system. These features include: * Full 32-bit implementation * Multi-threading via the multiple thread process model * Integrated support of OS/2 Database Manager through IBM's optional Extended Services Capability * Interface to the REXX programming language ObjectVision 2.0 for OS/2 will also exploit the Presentation Manager user interface and the high performance OS/2 2.0 file system.
