FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tools Plus Pro Featured at World Wide Developers Conference

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO–May 3, 1999–Macintosh developers shopping for
state-of-the-art development tools can get award-winning Tools Plus
Pro libraries + framework at the lowest sale price anywhere during
DevDepot’s “Five Days In May” sale running from May 10 to May
14, 1999. “Five Days In May” coincides with Apple’s World Wide
Developer Conference (WWDC), so attendees can take advantage of this
sale by visiting the DevDepot booth at the show.

Tools Plus Pro, rated 4 1/2 mice by Macworld magazine, gives
Macintosh developers a new, highly simplified way of writing
applications using conventional tools and languages. It gives Mac
developers much of the ease-of-use and rapid development capabilities
found in fourth generation languages (4GLs) while retaining the
flexibility, speed, and compact memory and disk footprint that is
typical of hand-tuned code.

The Tools Plus Pro developer kit supports the industry’s most popular
programming languages and compilers: C, C++ and Pascal on Metrowerks’
CodeWarrior, Symantec’s C++, THINK C/C++, and THINK Pascal. Both
680×0 and PowerPC-native libraries are included. It is bundled with
several megabytes of custom controls (SuperCDEFs), custom windows
(WDEFs), icons, animated color cursors, fonts, and other valuable
resources. It also includes the optional Tools Plus framework, a
compact application infrastructure that facilitates rapid development
with ease. User documentation, which has been rated by many as being
“the industry’s finest,” is in the form of a printed and bound
manual, and an equivalent one in electronic format.

During the Five Days In May sale, Tools Plus Pro is available for the
low price of $199, a saving of $50 off the regular price, only
through DevDepot.

Apple’s WWDC also signals the debut of a limited edition Tools Plus
Lite. The single CD package includes Tools Plus Pro libraries +
framework in 680×0 format for CodeWarrior, in C, C++ and Pascal, and
an electronic user manual. It is bundled with custom windows (WDEFs),
icons, animated color cursors, fonts, and other valuable resources.
Tools Plus Lite is available for a limited time, exclusively through
DevDepot for only $99, a saving of $50 off the regular price
of $149. Tools Plus Lite includes an upgrade coupon to Tools Plus Pro
that saves $128 off the price of separately purchased Tools Plus Pro
components.

All Tools Plus software development kits include one year of free
software updates, major upgrades per year, world-class technical
support, unlimited access to the Tools Plus Developer Forum (no
special software required), a subscription to Water’s Edge News, and
other electronic services. Purchases during the Five Days In May sale
will receive a fourth major upgrade free.

Tools Plus Pro and Tools Plus Lite are available from DevDepot
at 800-MACDEV-1 (800-622-3381), or orders@devdepot.com. Outside North
America, call 1-805-494-9797.
