Runtime Revolution 2.1 Premieres at MacWorld Creative Pro NY
New Editions, New Features, and Revolutionary Special Offers

Edinburgh, Scotland, July 16th 2003

Runtime Revolution today announced Revolution 2.1, the latest update to its
user-centric, multi-platform software development environment. Revolution
developers can look forward to new capabilities and new features. There are
three new editions to choose from – including the entry-level Revolution
Express – and a limited-time 50% discount.

Revolution 2.1, now in beta test, contains dozens of improvements that make
building full-featured applications for every platform easier than ever
before. OS X developers will benefit from the addition of “metal”
appearance, drawers, and other improvements to make their applications even
more Aqua-friendly. New improvements to the Unicode architecture make
Revolution an even stronger tool for creating international applications
for Asian markets. Building database front ends is simpler than ever
before, with full access to MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Valentina – as well as
ODBC – now built in to every edition of Revolution.

“The development of Revolution 2.1 and the changes to our product lineup
are a direct result of our recent acquisition of MetaCard Corporation, our
long-time partner in Revolution,” said Kevin Miller, CEO of Runtime
Revolution. “We’ve listened to our users and the marketplace, and we’re
focused on making Revolution the user-centric multi-platform tool for
developers at all levels. It’s now more affordable for the hobbyist and
beginner, and the perfect solution for professionals and enterprise
customers. Join the Revolution today!”
