Development language now supports Introspection; delivering on the most
requested enhancement from users

AUSTIN, Texas, USA (February 11, 2008) -- REAL Software, maker of
REALbasic, a cross-platform development environment for Windows, Mac and
Linux developers, has begun shipping REALbasic 2008 Release 1. The latest
version will include introspection, which has been the most highly
requested feature from the user community in recent years.

"Adding introspection to our object-oriented language provides developers
with a powerful tool," stated Geoff Perlman, President and CEO of REAL
Software. "With this new capability our users will be more productive and
their applications will be more dynamic and adaptable."

Introspection provides the ability to determine the type and
characteristics of an object at runtime. Properties and methods can be
accessed in a generic way without having to know the specific type of that
object before the code is compiled. This capability allows for more
advanced dynamic programming techniques to be used in REALbasic
applications.

"Introspection is a powerful addition to the REALbasic language," commented
Charles Yeomans, a contractor working for Dakim. "I write a lot of
database-related code, and introspection is going to make my job easier."

The release will also contain 39 minor improvements and two additional
language features. Variants can now contain array values, and there is
programmer control over interface method implementation linkage.

The complete list of the improvements in REALbasic 2008 Release 1 can be
found in the release notes in the product download at
