Powerful Spreadsheets in Smalltalk/V
With WidgetKit/Professional

San Jose, CA, July 26, 1994 - Objectshare Systems, Inc. announces immediate
availability of WidgetKit/Professional, a product that adds full-featured
spreadsheets and many other new controls to the those available for use in
WindowBuilder Pro/V. This is the first time powerful spreadsheets have
been available in an easy-to-use form in Smalltalk. WindowBuilder Pro/V
from Objectshare Systems is a tool that enables programmers to build user
interfaces interactively and rapidly. WidgetKit/Professional consists of
the FarPoint Professional DLLs, Smalltalk wrappers that integrate all the
controls into Digitalk's class library, and Smalltalk classes that allow
all the controls to be placed and edited with WindowBuilder Pro/V.

The spreadsheet has features similar to Microsoft's Excel; formulas, drag
and drop, column and row resizing with the mouse, load, save, and
printing. It also provides control of color, formatting, fonts, multiple
selection, locking, and program access to cell formulas. A virtual
spreadsheet enables programs to load only the visible data.

The spreadsheet functionality is factored into seven classes in
WidgetKit/Professional Programmers can use the one that is right for their
application. Spreadsheet cells can be any of 11 types, including graphical
types (BMP, PCX, & GIF). There are specialized editors for the cell types
that programmers can use as part of a spreadsheet or separately.
WidgetKit/Professional also includes controls that display a directory
list, drive list, file list, and directory file list.

WidgetKit/Professional includes complete Smalltalk/V source code and the
DLLs. There are no royalties for distribution of end-user applications.
WidgetKit/Professional provides complete portability of the controls
between Windows, Win32, and Windows NT (and OS/2 later). It also includes
complete documentation, hypertext help, and ninety days of free technical
support from Smalltalk experts by telephone, fax, and CompuServe. It comes
with a 30 day money-back guarantee and supports the Team/V and
ENVY/Developer group programming environments. WidgetKit/Professional for
Windows and WidgetKit/Professional for Win32 cost $395 each and are
available for immediate shipment. WidgetKit/Professional requires
Smalltalk/V and WindowBuilder Pro/V.
