REAL Software Announces REALbasic 2005 for Linux to Ship September 13, 2005

AUSTIN, Texas, USA (September 1, 2005) -- REAL Software, Inc., providers of REALbasic, cross-platform that really works, announced today the company will ship REALbasic 2005 for Linux on September 13, 2005. REALbasic 2005 for Linux is a rapid application development (RAD) environment that enables professional and non-professional programmers alike to quickly create software for Linux.

"REALbasic 2005 will provide for Linux what Visual Basic provides for Windows -- more software for the platform," stated Geoff Perlman, president and CEO of REAL Software. "REALbasic 2005 for Linux is a powerful, yet easy-to-use tool, like Visual Basic, except that it builds applications for Linux. An added benefit is that it also builds applications for Windows and Macintosh from the same code base. REALbasic is cross-platform that really works."

REALbasic 2005 for Linux enables both desktop and server application development for Linux. In addition, REALbasic 2005 includes a Visual Basic Project Converter that helps migrate existing Visual Basic applications to REALbasic where they can be compiled for Linux. This is a benefit for companies that are looking to migrate to Linux but have legacy Windows®-based software that was created with Visual Basic. For case studies on companies performing this migration with REALbasic, see <http://www.realsoftware.com/users/visualbasic>.
