IBM Demos Current OS/2 for the POWERPC Beta

ISVs Show Support for OS/2 for the PowerPC at CeBIT

HANNOVER, Germany, March 9, 1995 ... IBM is showing the latest beta of OS/2
for the PowerPC at CeBIT here this week, with demonstrations of
pre-release code running productivity applications, games and development
tools.

Once again, ISVs have demonstrated that their 32-bit OS/2 applications are
a simple recompile away from running on OS/2 for the PowerPC. The
following ISVs are demonstrating their applications in the
Apple/IBM/Motorola alliance pavilion at CeBIT, and will be showing how
easy it is to support multiple hardware platforms with a single OS/2
32-bit API source set:

Computer Associates is demonstrating CA-SuperProject, a complete set of
project management and presentation tools designed for widespread
corporate use. It is the leader in innovative and realistic project
management

Metaware is demonstrating its High C/C++ Software Development Tools for
PowerPC microprocessors, including Compiler, Linker and Assembler

Pinnacle Technology, Inc. is showing The Desktop Observatory, a desktop
management and security system for the OS/2 Workplace Shell, and
Kidproof/2, a version of The Desktop Observatory for standalone business
and home use

Softpro is demonstrating Touch-GUI 2.11 for OS/2, a 32-bit C++ GUI class
library for OS/2 and LIF (TM) - Legal Insurance Frameworks, 400 C++/SOM
classes for legal insurance companies StarDivision, the most successful
German software developer, is showing StarOffice, a professional office
suite for OS/2 which includes StarWriter, the leading word processor among
German-speaking users

Stardock Systems is demonstrating Entrepreneur for PowerPC microprocessors,
a multimedia business strategy game for OS/2 Warp

Sundial Systems is showing Relish, the time management application
featuring drag-drop convenience, desktop objects for common and
customizable views, and maximum flexibility

IBM is also showing OS/2 for the PowerPC on several pedestals in its booth,
including demonstrations of: the OS/2 Warp interface (Workplace Shell);
the One-Up Smart Tool; Wipeout, the fully-integrated screen saver from
BocaSoft; and portions of the OS/2 Warp BonusPak. In addition, IBM is
demonstrating OpenGL, an industry standard 3-D API which is currently in
beta test on OS/2 for the PowerPC. OpenGL provides an entry level of 3-D
functionality which was previously only available on expensive
workstations.

OS/2 for the PowerPC, expected to be commercially available from IBM later
this year, combines the award-winning features of OS/2 with the
leading-edge performance of PowerPC hardware.
