WindowBuilder Pro/V Offers New Tools to Build, Reuse, and Manage
User Interfaces

San Jose, CA, August 30, 1993 - Objectshare Systems announces the immediate
availability of WindowBuilder Pro/V, an enhanced edition of the acclaimed
WindowBuilder/V user interface tool. Smalltalk/V Win and Smalltalk/V OS/2
versions are available. Important new features include CompositePanes and
a ScrapBook, which allow improved reuse and management of user interface
components. Linking capability enables assembly of user interface
components which include specific behavior. These features enable
programmers to develop a system of user interface components that can take
advantage of inheritance and can encapsulate more behavior to simplify
development, increase consistency, and ease maintenance. Reusability and
consistency are a particularly important consideration when tens or
hundreds of similar interfaces are used in an application.

In addition to features supporting reuse, WindowBuilder Pro/V has other new
capabilities. A morphing feature allows developers to quickly change a
widget from one type to another, for example from radio buttons to a list
box. A new user interface extensively utilizes tool palettes for easier
learning and use. Autosizing has been greatly enhanced. Many other
features have been added to improve programmer productivity. WindowBuilder
Pro/V includes a tutorial, a technical reference, and a copy of the book
Smalltalk Programming for Windows by Dan Shafer. The tutorial was also
written by Shafer, who is an expert Smalltalk programmer and noted author.
The tutorial provides a clear introduction to WindowBuilder Pro/V by
explaining how to do each of the examples in Shafer's book using
WindowBuilder Pro/V. (This works in OS/2 also, because the differences are
small when programming at this high level.)

WindowBuilder Pro/V costs $295 for the Windows version and $495 for the
OS/2 version. Customers can trade up from the original WindowBuilder to
the "Pro" edition for $145 in Windows and $200 in OS/2. Both are available
for immediate shipment and can be ordered by calling 408-970-7280 (fax
408970-7282). The original WindowBuilder/V edition is still offered as an
introductory product. Complete source code is included and there are no
run-time fees. Ninety days of free technical support from Smalltalk
experts is provided by telephone, fax, and CompuServe. All products come
with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Versions are available to support the
Team/V and ENVY/Developer group programming environments.
