<p>Free update for version 2 users adds QuickTime 4 support, access to<br />
Macintosh and Windows toolboxes, improves reliability.</p>
<p>AUSTIN, TEXAS - Apr. 28th, 1999 - REAL Software, Inc. today announced<br />
that REALbasic 2.0.1 for Mac OS is shipping. This free update<br />
improves overall reliability and adds QuickTime 4.0 video streaming<br />
support and allows users to directly access the Mac OS and Windows<br />
toolboxes. A fully functional trial version of REALbasic version<br />
2.0.1 is available from REAL Software's web site.</p>
<p>Applications built with REALbasic v2.0.1 will automatically load<br />
QuickTime 4.0 movies from the Internet that have streaming<br />
instructions. Also, using the new OpenURLMovie method, users can pass<br />
the Internet address of any QuickTime movie. If the movie is setup<br />
for streaming, the movie will begin playing as it downloads otherwise<br />
it will be completely downloaded prior to playing.</p>
<p>"Our users want to be able to incorporate the latest and greatest<br />
Apple technologies in the applications they build with REALbasic. For<br />
that reason, we keep REALbasic on the cutting edge," said REAL<br />
Software president Geoff Perlman.</p>
<p>Version 2.0.1 also allows users to directly make toolbox calls to the<br />
Mac OS and Windows operating systems. This makes it easy to add<br />
support for technologies that REALbasic has yet to directly<br />
incorporate. "In the past, this kind of access had to be done through<br />
the use of plug-ins, XCMDs, and PowerPC shared libraries. Our users<br />
wanted an easier way to make toolbox calls without having to create<br />
external libraries in order to do it," said Andrew Barry, REAL<br />
Software's Chief of Development.</p>
<p>REALbasic is the easy-to-use integrated development environment (IDE)<br />
that enables users at all levels to create powerful stand-alone,<br />
native 68k, PowerPC and Windows applications quickly and easily,<br />
without having to learn a complex programming language such as C++ or<br />
the details of the Macintosh or Windows Toolbox. REALbasic lets you<br />
create the entire user interface for your applications in minutes<br />
without any programming. Its programming language is an<br />
object-oriented version of the BASIC programming language and is<br />
highly compatible with Microsoft's Visual Basic.</p>
<p>REALbasic is available for download now from REAL Software's web site<br />
at <a href="http://www.realsoftware.com" title="www.realsoftware.com">www.realsoftware.com</a>. REALbasic can be purchased directly from<br />
REAL Software for $99.95 (for the Standard Edition) and $299.95 (for<br />
the Professional Edition). Academic pricing is also available.<br />
REALbasic can be ordered directly from REAL Software's web site at<br />
<a href="http://www.realsoftware.com;" title="www.realsoftware.com;">www.realsoftware.com;</a> by phone at 512-263-1233; by fax at<br />
512-263-1441; or <a href="mailto:sales@realsoftware.com">sales@realsoftware.com</a>.</p>
<p>REALbasic requires a Macintosh, Power Macintosh, or compatible<br />
computer with a 68020 processor or higher; 2.5 MB RAM; System 7.1 or<br />
later; and 80 MB of free hard disk space for full installation of the<br />
software, documentation, and examples. REALbasic ships in CD-ROM<br />
format, requiring a CD-ROM drive and can also be downloaded from REAL<br />
Software's web site. REAL Software offers disk fulfillment for an<br />
additional charge.</p>
<p>Founded in 1996 by Geoff Perlman, former ACI US Manager, REAL<br />
Software, Inc. is the publisher of REALbasic, with headquarters in<br />
