Metrowerks to Ship CodeWarrior Professional 3, the Latest Version of<br />
Software<br />
Development Tools for Windows(R) 95, Windows NT(R), and Mac(R) OS</p>
<p>New CodeWarrior Debugger is Now Seamlessly Integrated With New IDE 3.0.<br />
Also<br />
Featured is a New Java-to-Native Compiler</p>
<p>AUSTIN, Texas - March 23, 1998 - Metrowerks Inc. (NASDAQ: MTWKF,<br />
TSE/ME:MWK)<br />
announced today the company will, in the last week of March, begin<br />
shipping<br />
CodeWarrior Professional 3, the latest release of CodeWarrior software<br />
development tools that combines Windows-hosted and Mac-hosted desktop<br />
tools<br />
into a single unified package. CodeWarrior Professional 3 includes IDE<br />
3.0,<br />
the latest version of Metrowerks award winning integrated development<br />
environment, which includes a fully integrated debugger and a new<br />
Java-to-native compiler. The new IDE also allows programmers to take<br />
advantage<br />
of both the Intel MMX(TM) and AMD-3D(TM) instruction sets.</p>
<p>New CodeWarrior Integrated Debugger<br />
The new integrated debugger supports x86, PowerPC(TM), 68K, and Java, and<br />
is<br />
seamlessly integrated into the IDE. Benefits for developers using an<br />
integrated debugger include:<br />
-- No switching back and forth between debugger and IDE<br />
-- Reduced memory usage by not having to run separate IDE and debugger<br />
applications<br />
-- All the powerful editing and project management tools in the IDE are<br />
available to the programmer during debug. For example, one can step<br />
through<br />
each line of code and set breakpoints directly in the editor during debug<br />
instead of having to run a separate debugger.</p>
<p>These advantages add up to improved project management and reduced<br />
time-to-market with the finished product.</p>
<p>CodeWarrior Support for MMX and AMD-3D Technology<br />
CodeWarrior Professional 3 now supports inline assembly for the MMX and<br />
AMD-3D<br />
Technology instruction sets and supports optimization and code generation<br />
for<br />
the MMX, K6, and AMD K6-3D instruction sets. Available on Windows-hosted<br />
tools<br />
only, CodeWarrior support for MMX and AMD-3D Technology is particularly<br />
advantageous for programmers, such as game developers, who are writing<br />
applications for a consumer market that demands outstanding graphics and<br />
multimedia capabilities.</p>
<p>Enhanced Java Development<br />
CodeWarrior Professional 3 includes significant improvements and<br />
additions to<br />
the Java tools that are designed to bring Java into the mainstream of<br />
language<br />
development. These tools include:<br />
-- Java-to-native pre-release compiler plugins for x86 and PowerPC<br />
targets.<br />
This compiler will compile Java source code and produce the equivalent<br />
target<br />
executable. This means programmers can now use Java as a natively<br />
executed<br />
programming language just like C, enabling their applications to run at<br />
performance levels similar to other native applications.<br />
-- The new JavaDoc postlinker makes use of information generated during<br />
the<br />
compilers parsing phase to generate the HTML documentation instead or<br />
requiring the JavaDoc linker to regenerate the information itself.</p>
<p>"We are very excited about the release of CodeWarrior Professional 3,<br />
which<br />
has<br />
been tuned to meet the needs of Java developers as well as games and<br />
multimedia<br />
developers," said Jean Belanger, chairman and chief executive officer,<br />
Metrowerks. "But, the technical achievements are only part of the<br />
CodeWarrior<br />
Professional 3 package. Add to that strong customer relations and fast,<br />
informative technical support, and you have a complete software<br />
development<br />
package with the features and services developers want."</p>
<p>Additional improvements in CodeWarrior Professional 3 include: compare<br />
folder<br />
capability, allowing programmers to compare multiple files simultaneously;<br />
support for Visual SourceSafe 5.0 and it's API (for Windows), allowing<br />
developers to check-in and check-out files without the need to run Visual<br />
SourceSafe as a separate application; and Window Console I/O capabilities,<br />
allowing the programmer to send output to a Window Console, save in ASCII<br />
text<br />
format, and print.</p>
