<p>METROWERKS & APPLE COMPUTER SIGN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR PORTING<br />
CODEWARRIOR TOOLS TO RHAPSODY, APPLE'S NEXT GENERATION OS</p>
<p>Metrowerks to Provide Full CodeWarrior Tools for Both Mac OS & Rhapsody</p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, California--January 7, 1997--Metrowerks Inc. (NASDAQ: MTWKF,<br />
TSE/ME: MWK) and Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) today entered into a<br />
development agreement to accelerate support for Apple's next generation<br />
operating system (codenamed "Rhapsody") in Metrowerks CodeWarrior<br />
integrated programming environment ("IDE"), development tools and<br />
compilers. Upon completion, Metrowerks will provide Mac OS developers a<br />
full CodeWarrior solution comprising compilers, programming tools and<br />
debuggers for the development of applications for both Mac OS and Rhapsody.</p>
<p>Metrowerks' support for Rhapsody will contain three key elements:</p>
<p>1. Metrowerks To Build Rhapsody Applications Within CodeWarrior Running On<br />
Mac OS</p>
<p>CodeWarrior compilers will build Rhapsody applications in the current<br />
CodeWarrior IDE hosted on MacOS. Metrowerks expects to have CodeWarrior<br />
Objective C compilers and Objective C runtime support in its CodeWarrior<br />
C++ compilers running in the CodeWarrior IDE hosted on Mac OS System by May<br />
1997 for the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. Metrowerks will include<br />
these new CodeWarrior programming tools and compilers supporting Rhapsody<br />
as part of its regular CodeWarrior for Mac OS subscription at no additional<br />
charge to CodeWarrior for Mac OS subscribers.</p>
<p>2. Metrowerks To Port Its CodeWarrior IDE to Rhapsody</p>
<p>The CodeWarrior IDE, programming tools and compilers will be ported to<br />
Rhapsody. Metrowerks' CodeWarrior IDE will be hosted on both the MacOS, as<br />
currently available, and on Rhapsody. The first developer release of the<br />
CodeWarrior IDE hosted on Rhapsody is scheduled for release in January 1998<br />
at MacWorld San Francisco.</p>
<p>Upon completion of porting the CodeWarrior IDE to Rhapsody, both the<br />
CodeWarrior IDE hosted on Mac OS and the CodeWarrior IDE hosted on Rhapsody<br />
will build:<br />
- Mac OS applications running on 68K and PowerPC,<br />
- Apple's New OS applications running on PowerPC, and<br />
- Windows95/NT applications running on x86.</p>
<p>Metrowerks intends to add cross-platform support so that the CodeWarrior<br />
IDE hosted on Mac OS will allow developers to build Rhapsody applications,<br />
while the CodeWarrior IDE hosted on Rhapsody will allow developers to build<br />
Mac OS applications.</p>
<p>3. Metrowerks PowerPlant To Be Transitioned to Rhapsody</p>
<p>Metrowerks PowerPlant application framework will be transitioned to<br />
Rhapsody. Metrowerks and Apple Computer intend to outline and implement a<br />
transition strategy that will allow developers using Metrowerks' PowerPlant<br />
application framework to move their applications to Rhapsody as rapidly as<br />
possible.</p>
<p>"Apple and Metrowerks are focused on making the transition to Rhapsody a<br />
winning proposition for developers," said Ellen Hancock, executive vice<br />
president and chief technical officer of Apple Computer. "We are<br />
aggressively pursuing all areas of development where working together can<br />
make a positive difference to the Macintosh developer."</p>
<p>"Metrowerks and Apple are working in step to make tools available now,"<br />
said Greg Galanos, president and chief technology officer of Metrowerks.<br />
"This agreement between Metrowerks and Apple is a reflection of our intent<br />
to work closely together to the benefit of the Macintosh developer<br />
community. Our goal is to make these tools available as soon as possible to<br />
our customers in their regular CodeWarrior subscription."</p>
