HOCKWARE ANNOUNCES NEW VERSIONS OF VISPRO/REXX, VISPRO/C AND VISPRO/C++
CARY, N.C., February 28, 1995 -- HockWare, Incorporated today announced the availability of
VisPro/REXX_ Gold 2.11, VisPro/REXX_ Bronze 2.11, VisPro/C_ 1.01 and VisPro/C++_ 1.01. All four
products allow application developers to quickly develop OS/2 graphical user-interface (GUI) programs utilizing a
rich selection of GUI programming objects and drag and drop programming.
Both VisPro/REXX Gold and Bronze have an improved UI and new features for manipulating window frames.
They include a more intelligent event editor, as well as the ability to plug in any editor for editing events. Both include
a code template generator that allows users to include their favorite code segments for easy reuse. Graphical push
buttons are also supported. VisPro/REXX Gold includes many improvements to the container and notebook objects.
The new price of $59 for VisPro/REXX Bronze makes it the lowest-priced OS/2 visual programming tool
available. The ability to create small (<100K), stand-alone .EXE program files makes this a very attractive offering.
Compatibility with VisPro/REXX Gold and the VisPro/REXX Data Entry Object Pack make it an ideal entry-level
product.
VisPro/C and VisPro/C++ both include many code generation improvements based on recent customer feedback.
In addition, VisPro/C now supports generation of code for MetaWare's HighC compiler.
HockWare continues to set high standards for quality and service by automatically sending free VisPro/REXX
2.11, VisPro/C 1.01 or VisPro/C++ 1.01 upgrades to all registered U.S. customers. Customers who have not sent in
their registration cards should contact HockWare for their free upgrade.

In April of 1993, HockWare introduced VisPro/REXX--the first OS/2 visual REXX programming tool as well
as the first REXX programming tool to include drag and drop programming. VisPro/REXX fully exploits OS/2 2.x,
the Workplace Shell, CUA '91 objects, SOM and the REXX language. There are three commercially available
products developed with VisPro/REXX: Performance Plus by Clear and Simple, a CPU performance monitoring tool;
WatchIt by Client Server Networking, a LAN performance analysis and management tool for IBM LAN Server; and
CS-Edit/2 by Multitask Consulting, a system configuration editor. The products exemplify the robustness and
stability of VisPro/REXX. HockWare has headquarters in Cary, North Carolina (USA).
