Desaware Announces Shipping of StorageTools version 1.0 for Microsoft
Visual Basic 4.0 and other OLE Control Containers.

Orlando, FL.- October 23, 1995 -- Desaware today announced version 1.0 of
StorageTools a set of OLE controls that allow programmers to easily take
advantage of the full power of OLE Structured Storage and the Registration
Database. StorageTools includes 16 and 32 bit OLE Controls and is
compatible with development tools that support the full Microsoft OLE
Control specification including Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 and Microsoft
Visual C++ 4.0. 

OLE Structured storage is a technology built into every Microsoft Windows
system that allows programmers to utilize complex file formats. Any file
can be divided into multiple streams in a hierarchical structure,
essentially allowing programmers to create complex file systems within a
single file. StorageTools allows Visual Basic programmers to use all of
the capabilities provided by OLE Structured storage. This makes it easy
for Visual Basic programmers to implement private file formats that
include such features as transactioning and incremental saves. In many
cases, StorageTools will eliminate the need to use a full database system
with all of its inherent overhead. StorageTools manages all memory
allocation and deallocation, making use of OLE Structured storage safe and
reliable. 

StorageTools (formally called StorageWorks-VB) also includes an OLE control
that provides easy access to the registration database. In place of
complex API function calls or the limited registration database access
provided by Visual Basic, StorageTools allows programmers to access the
registration database as if it were a group of files and directories. It
provides an interface of commands that are extremely similar to familiar
file access commands, thus eliminating the need for complex string
manipulation and minimizing the time it takes to learn to use the
registration database effectively. 

StorageTools is priced at $129 and is available now. 

Desaware is a developer of tools and software components for use with
Microsoft Visual Basic and other component based software development
tools.
