JBA offers OS/2 developers free trial of Guidelines - the client/server,
object enabled toolset
Application software and development tools supplier JBA is offering OS/2
application developers 21 days free evaluation of JBA Guidelines, the
company's comprehensive client/server development environment. Developers
are invited to contact JBA's Kate Scott on +44 (0)1789 400212, or access
JBA's World Wide Web page, at http://www.jba.co.uk, for details of how to
receive the full JBA Guidelines Professional Developers Kit on CD-ROM for
a free 21 day evaluation period.
JBA's technical marketing manager for Guidelines, Mike Gove, said:
"Guidelines is a complete client/server development environment built by
JBA to re-engineer 4.5 million lines of its own commercially available
business software into a client/server, object enabled package. OS/2
application developers are extremely technically aware, as shown by their
choice of operating system, and will be impressed by the breadth of
functionality within Guidelines, hence the offer of a free evaluation
copy to enable that assessment."
Targeted at development teams who currently program in COBOL, Basic, RPG,
C and C++, as well as the visual programming environments, Guidelines
allows developers to create programs that run on both the PC and server
platform. Within Guidelines, developers are free to code either directly
in C++ or in JOT, a high level object language.
JOT allows the coding of event driven applications that utilise both the
flexibility and graphical nature of personal computers while providing
easy and direct access to server technologies. Regardless of the client
platform selected, Guidelines will generate highly portable and flexible
C++ for subsequent compilation on the designated target environment.
JBA is a world leading supplier of enterprise wide software products and
services for integrated manufacturing, distribution and financial
applications. JBA's 1500 staff support over 3500 customers across the
world
