For immediate release

Augsburg, Germany (March 15, 2005) — Ren=E9 Puls & Oliver Feiler GbR
(kcoresoft) releases Pipe 1.2 for Mac OS X.

About Pipe

Pipe is a Mac OS X Cocoa application made for developers and people who
are interested in learning and experimenting with scripting languages.
With Pipe’s intuitive three-pane layout, script development hasn’t been
easier before. You can simultaneously see your program, input data, if
needed, and output data. Effects of changes to the script code can be
seen immediately when you run the script in Pipe. This makes it the
ideal tool for learning new scripting languages and deepen your
inderstanding of already learnt languages.

Quick data visualization can be done fast and easily as Pipe directly
supports scripts that generate images or HTML code which will be
displayed accordingly. Sample scripts to demonstrate nearly all
capabilities are included with the application package as a script
library. Once in your script library, all of your scripts are accessible
from anywhere in Mac OS X through the services menu [1].

Addtionally, all development can be done in your favourite text editor
as Pipe supports a variety of external editors you can choose from. You
won’t have to get comfortable with yet another editor and learn yet
another bunch of key shortcuts.

Programming they way you want it.
