REAL Software Announces Plans to Support Mac OS X on Intel Processors
AUSTIN, Texas, USA (June 7, 2005) – REAL Software announced today that
REALbasic will add support for Mac OS X on Intel processors. Apple Computer
recently announced plans to transition the Macintosh product line to Intel
processors.
“Since REALbasic is cross-platform by design,” stated Geoff Perlman,
president and CEO of REAL Software. “REALbasic users will have the fastest,
easiest transition to Mac OS X on Intel. Most applications will require
nothing but a simple re-compile, with no code changes at all. REALbasic is
cross-platform that really works.”
REALbasic’s cross-platform compiler has supported the Intel processor since
1999, before Mac OS X was released. This mature and robust Intel compiler
will soon support the creation of Mac OS X applications, and will be
included in both REALbasic Standard and Professional Editions. REALbasic
will continue to support the creation of Macintosh applications for the
PowerPC processor.
