OBERON SOFTWARE RELEASES JAVA PROGRAMMER'S TOOLKIT
July 7, 1997, Mankato, MN
Oberon Software today released its first Java based toolkit. "This builds on
everything we have learned over the years about multi-threaded programming
under OS/2." said Oberon founder and President Brady Flowers. "We know that
developers will find many good uses for this toolkit and we ourselves will be
using it extensively in the months to come as we begin to release a range of
new Java based applications and applets."
Building on its strength as a supplier of terminal emulation and telecom
software, Oberon has included in the new toolkit Java implementations for
ANSI, VT100, and Telnet terminal emulations and ZModem file transfers as well
as a number of Java AWT extensions and utility classes such as circular spin
buttons, Regular Expression matching, CRC calculations, and Internet e-mail
(SMTP) utility classes.
The library contains an extensive collection of classes for scientific
function plotting which, in addition to being attractive to scientists,
engineers, educators and students, can also be used by anyone needing to
display, size, and rotate three dimensional images.
Also included in the toolkit are OS/2 native classes for accessing the serial
port, HLLAPI programming, and a REXX interface which allows a developer to
add REXX scripting support to Java applications. Oberon Software plans to
release cross platform versions of these native classes in a forthcoming
release of the toolkit later this year.
Oberon Software allows the toolkit runtime package to be freely distributed
without royalty and has announced an introductory price for the programmer's
portion of the toolkit or $39.95. All interested parties are invited to
contact Oberon Software for more information. Oberon Software can be reached
by phone at 507-388-7001, their web page at http://www.OberonSoftware.com, or
by mail at Oberon Software, Inc., 1405 E. Main St., Mankato, MN 56001, USA.
Oberon Software has been developing OS/2 software and providing OS/2 related
services since 1988. More than just a specialty, OS/2 related products and
services are Oberon Software's only business. Oberon OS/2 products include
TE/2 and TE/2 Pro!, FSHL - Oberon Software's Alternative Command Line
Executive, The Oberon Personal VoiceMail Assistant, DiskStat, LstPM, and the
Commpak/2 Programmer's Toolkit for creating telecommunications routines under
OS/2. In addition, Oberon Software has developed unique, OS/2 based
solutions for a number of major corporations in the banking and communication
industries.
