*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
Version 3 of VisualAge (TM) C++ for OS/2 (R), (1) offers you
powerful visual programming tools that make building applications
simpler. These tools work seamlessly together and are designed to
help you through each stage of the development process.
New Faster and Easier Programming Tools
The Visual Application Builder helps you rapidly prototype and
build applications with menu bars, entry fields, and icons. The Data
Access Class Builder allows you to visually create C++ classes for
easy access to DB2 (TM) for OS/2 relational databases.
With the help of the IBM Open Class Library, you can reduce
your programming effort and avoid coding errors because the library
offers you a comprehensive set of C++ classes. These classes range
from basic input/output operations and string handling to abstract
data types and user interface support.
The new Browser allows you to explore both compiled code and
uncompiled source, easing the difficulty of learning and using C++
classes and class libraries. The Performance Analyzer graphically
identifies your application performance hot spots.
Some major enhancements have also been made to the Compiler.
The focus has been on improving compile time without impacting its
best of breed code quality and optimization. With the addition of
pre-compiled header files, extensive tuning, and a new linker, you
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 2
can expect faster compiles, and twice as fast linker performance.
Direct-to-SOM (DTS) is an exciting new technology that
combines familiar and powerful standard C++ syntax with the
robustness and portability of IBM's System Object Model (SOM). Now
you can generate SOM objects directly from the C++ compiler. Best of
all, the VisualAge Debugger lets you debug SOM objects as easily as
regular C++.
Part of a family of VisualAge C++ products, VisualAge C++
Version 3 supports a consistent set of tools and class libraries
across an entire range of platforms including OS/2, AIX (R), and
Sun** Solaris**. This makes cross-platform programming and the
migration of applications faster, easier, and less error prone. IBM
plans to begin VisualAge C++ beta programs for Windows+, OS/400 (R),
and the PowerPC (TM).

OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION
The new generation of C++ has arrived. IBM VisualAge C++ for
OS/2, Version 3 takes C++ application development to new levels of
productivity. Now, mission- critical, object-oriented applications
are within easy reach with VisualAge C++'s powerful application
"construction from parts" paradigm.
VisualAge C++ delivers:
o A visual application construction environment.
o IBM Open Class: A complete set of classes, including collections,
user interface, and data access.
o An extensive set of integrated C++ programming tools.
o A robust, standards-compliant C/C++ compiler that produces the
fastest code available for OS/2 2.11 and Warp.
CONSTRUCTION FROM PARTS: With VisualAge C++, application
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 3
construction has never been easier. Even the most complex
applications can be constructed from the large set of pre-defined
parts from IBM Open Class. You can also create your own parts and
import them easily to the visual builder. These parts can be
assembled quickly and easily with the visual builder, and your
application can be generated with the click of a button. Reuse is
now real world!
The visual builder generates ANSI-compliant C++ source code
that is compiled into a highly optimized application. You get
blazingly fast performance and a royalty-free runtime environment.
OBJECT-ORIENTED ACCESS TO RELATIONAL DATA: Now, make quick work of
bringing existing relational data into the object world. The Data
Access Class Builder visually maps DB2 for OS/2 relational database
tables into objects with a single click. All of the C++ and SQL code
generation is done for you -- simply import these "data objects" into
the visual builder and construct your application.
An underlying set of class libraries handles the complexities
of data access and CORBA-compliant persistent object storage.
IBM OPEN CLASS: IBM Open Class is a set of C++ class libraries that
gives you an extensive choice of building blocks for creating your
applications. While Open Class handles the complexity of low-level
APIs, you can focus on your application. Because Open Class is the
foundation for the Visual Builder, you become productive immediately
by using real objects directly from the builder. You spend more time
building applications, not learning the complexities of
object-oriented designs and class libraries.
You can also create your own custom objects and extend Open
Class by using the extensive set of C++ programming tools integrated
in VisualAge C++. With IBM Open Class, you have the flexibility of a
consistent programming interface across a wide range of platforms
including OS/2, Warp, AIX, and Sun Solaris. In the future, it is our
intent to make MVS, OS/400, Windows NT**, Windows 95, and OS/2 for
the PowerPC available. With IBM's C++ environments on these
platforms, you can code your application once and deploy it anywhere
in your enterprise.
POWERFUL C++ TOOLS: VisualAge C++ sets the pace with a complete set
of integrated tools built for the C++ developer.
GET STARTED QUICKLY WITH WORKFRAME AND PROJECT SMARTS: WorkFrame
gives you a productive place to create and manage your C++ code.
With "Easy Options", you build code in either debug, browse, or
optimized modes -- without having to manage compiler options
manually. With WorkFrame, you move naturally from tool to tool. In
addition, Project Smarts gives you automatically-configured skeleton
applications to start your coding immediately.
THE NEW STANDARD IN C++ BROWSERS: Explore and understand your code
and class libraries quickly with the VisualAge C++ browser. Use the
QuickBrowse feature to get information on C++ code even before you
compile -- exactly when you need it.
FROM BUG-FREE TO BLAZINGLY FAST: Get your application up to speed
with two powerful tools.
With the debugger's intuitive user interface, you can debug at
the source level, set breakpoints, handle advanced C++ functions such
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 4
as templates and exceptions, and isolate difficult memory management
bugs.
Use the Performance Analyzer to fine tune your application's
performance. Through graphical representations of trace information,
you discover the hotspots and bottlenecks in your programs.
EASY EDITING: Editing source code is a snap using the
syntax-highlighting editor. Because editors are a personal choice,
this one can be customized to your way of working.
SUPERIOR C++ CODE: The 32-bit C/C++compiler delivers rock-solid code
ready to meet the demands of your business.
With pre-compiled header files, you can expect fast compiles.
A new 32-bit linker built for C++ is up to three times faster than
the previous version.
C++ generates applications which are highly optimized for
OS/2. In addition, code can be optimized for any Intel** processor
from the i386 to the Pentium**.
EASILY CREATE SOM OBJECTS: Now you can generate SOM objects directly
from familiar C++ syntax simply by turning on a compiler option. The
compiler will also generate the corresponding Interface Definition
Language (IDL) for interlanguage or Distributed SOM applications. In
addition, you can browse and debug SOM objects with the VisualAge C++
tools. SOM objects can be imported to the visual builder so
distributed object applications can be assembled quickly.
JOIN THE VISUALAGE: VisualAge C++ is part of the IBM family of C++
products, which provides a consistent set of tools and class
libraries across many platforms, including OS/2, Warp, AIX, Sun
Solaris, MVS, and in the future, OS/400, Windows NT, Windows 95, and
OS/2 for the PowerPC.
OPENDOC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS: These tools will be provided through the
IBM Developer's Toolkit for OS/2 Warp, and will be included in IBM
VisualAge C++ through its visual-built environment.

SERVICE & SUPPORT
Whatever time of day it is - 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon or 3:00 a.m.

electronic, regular turnaround time, fast turnaround, priority
handling, and 24-hour coverage. VisualAge C++ for OS/2 Service &
Support is staffed by developers who know the product and understand
the problems a developer faces. This includes everything from simple
how-to's to complex technical issues. VisualAge C++ for OS/2 Service
& Support takes ownership of the problem and works it to resolution,
which may take the form of a work-around, a fix to the product, or
simply education.
Support is available worldwide from Service & Support. In
addition, many countries also offer support. You should contact your
local IBM office for details of locally available support.
o VOICE SUPPORT:
In the US and Canada, voice support is available and free
for 60 days from the time of your first call (but not to exceed
the Service Expiration date). After 60 days, voice support is
chargeable. The Personal Systems Support Line 800 service takes
the call and routes it to VisualAge C++ for OS/2 Service &
Support who will walk through the problem with you. If it turns
out to be a bug, IBM will fix it without charge and may include
it in the next Corrective Service Diskette (CSD). In the
meantime, VisualAge C++ for OS/2 Service & Support helps work
around the problem.
