Dear SeungHwa:

Thank you for your interest in Roaster (tm), first applet development kit
for the Macintosh(r). Roaster has already begun to satisfy the Java(tm)
"craving." "Historically, the Macintosh has been one of the premier tools
for creative people to implement their ideas," explained Joshua D. Wachs,
President of Natural Intelligence. "The high-performance reputation of the
Java language, combined with the flexibility and intuitiveness of the
Mac(tm) OS, offers limitless possibilities for developers."

Roaster(tm) Developer Release 1 is a development environment for creating
applets in Sun(tm)'s Java(tm) programming language (Macintosh edition).
Roaster, the Applet Development Environment for Java(tm), is the first
environment for developers to create applets in Java(tm) on the Macintosh
platform. Roaster includes a hierarchical project window, powerful source
code editor, lightning-fast Java compiler, debugger, and applet runner for
testing your applets. As the first set of Java applet development tools for
the Macintosh, Natural Intelligence's Roaster has a few other firsts for
Java development on *any* platform, including:

- the first compiler for Java written by a third-party developer (also the
first compiler for Java that can be used on the Macintosh) - the first
integrated development environment (IDE) for Java applet development

Pricing and ordering:
- $299
- $99 (educational discount - requires university identification)
- 800-739-1616 (domestic customers)
- 617-556-2588 (international customers)

Shipping for international customers is $50, with the exception of the
following countries:

 Algeria

 Bulgaria

 Burundi

 Czech Republic

 Gabon

 Ghana

 Guinea

 Iceland

 Ivory Coast

 Kenya

 Morocco

 Poland

 Romania

 Russia

 Rwanda

 Saudi Arabia

 Senegal

 Togo

 Tunisia

 Yugoslavia

 Zaire

 Zambia

 Zimbabwe


The requirements for using Roaster are as follows:
- Power Macintosh 601 processor or greater (68K support coming
  soon)
- System 7.1.2 or later
- 8 MB RAM

Java, a new object-oriented programming language developed by Sun
MicroSystems, Inc., can be used to develop Java "applets,"
mini-applications that are embedded into the HyperText Markup Language
(HTML) code currently used to create World Wide Web pages. Applets add a
revolutionary new level of interactivity to the Web that goes far beyond
the simple forms and buttons currently available on most Web sites.
Features of applets written in Java range from simple text manipulation and
3-D animated graphics to systems or network management tasks--and best of
all, users can instantaneously access and run these applications just by
clicking on them from their Web browsers.

Java applets are platform independent and work with Sun's HotJava(tm)
Browser software or any Web browser that is "Java-aware" (e.g., Netscape
Navigator(tm) 2.0). Literally hundreds of applets are currently being
developed, and according to SunWorld Online magazine, "many [Java] users
indicated a craving for development tools."
