Black Dirt Software releases Visual Basic to Java Conversion Tool

GOSHEN, NY -- March 27, 1997 (INB) -- Black Dirt Software announced today
the release of Convert 1.0 - a Visual Basic to Java Converter. Convert 1.0
is available immediately for purchase and electronic delivery from
ObjectTiger. The price is set at $59.99. The initial version provides a
true graphical rendering of the original Visual Basic screen - including
sophisticated user interface elements such as Frames and Tabbed dialogs.

Black Dirt also provided details about their next generation conversion
software. The new version is written entirely in Java. The object oriented
features of Java allows this new converter to be extended by third party
vendors. Carmen Delessio, President of Black Dirt, noted that there are
"over 400 VB Controls in existence today. There is no way that we can
convert them all. So we have built an infrastructure that will allow third
parties and end users to create their own conversion classes. We expect to
lay a foundation so that this market can take off in the same way that the
original Visual Basic VBX components took off."

A beta version is expected in the next several weeks.
