Tower Technology Corporation Unveils TowerEiffel for Windows

New York -- June 5, 1995 -- Tower Technology Corporation unveiled its
TowerEiffel software engineering and development system for Windows this
week at Object Expo. Eiffel continues to gain popularity among leading OO
practitioners because it is the only object oriented programming language
that combines powerful software engineering support with an easy to
understand syntax and structure. With TowerEiffel for Windows, software
developers will now be able to utilize the advanced features and
capabilities of Eiffel in a familiar Windows look and feel environment.
Previously, TowerEiffel has been available on SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX,
Linux, NEXTSTEP and OS/2.

A prerelease version of TowerEiffel is currently available on Windows NT
for $249. It includes a high performance Eiffel 3 compiler, development
environment and programming tools. Customers who purchase a prerelease
version of TowerEiffel for Windows NT will receive a free upgrade to the
official release scheduled for August 1995. Future releases will include
support for Windows 95 and Win32S, GUI support libraries, support for
client / server, multi-threading, database interfaces, Corba support, and
cross platform support for Windows, OS/2 and Motif.

A unique feature of TowerEiffel is interoperability between Eiffel and C++.
This allows developers to utilize existing C++ libraries, or add software
engineering support and/or memory management to C++ programs. Other key
features include an easy to learn syntax, fast executable code, global
system optimization, user controllable garbage collector, exception
handling, parametrized types, automatic system builds and documentation
generation.

According to Madison Cloutier, Tower's Vice President of Marketing, "The
market told us they wanted a Windows based Eiffel development environment
that looked and felt like Windows. Existing commercial customers want the
option to deploy their systems on Windows. Many individuals and students
are interested in the Eiffel language and are looking for a Windows based
system that they can use. With our new release of TowerEiffel for Windows,
both market segments will benefit."

Eiffel is more than a computer programming language; it is a software
engineering language. In fact, it originated in the mid-1980s as a formal
specification language for reusable software components. Today, Eiffel is
providing sustainable competitive advantages for companies that depend on
software based systems in order to create differentiation .

Eiffel enjoys multi-vendor support along with a growing array of
development tools, libraries and an infrastructure of resources to assist
with training and implementation. The language is non-proprietary, and a
large portion of current Eiffel code and libraries are portable between
vendor's compilers.

Tower Technology Corporation is a leading international provider of Eiffel
based software engineering development tools and supporting services.
Tower specializes in object oriented software development and its
utilization for scalable commercial system development.
