AUSTIN, Texas, USA (September 13, 2005) -- REAL Software, Inc.,
providers of

Windows, without the need for DLLs or external frameworks. They gain
a new
benefit as well -- their software will run on Linux and Macintosh --
because
REALbasic is cross-platform that really works."
"I've been using Windows and Visual Basic for nearly ten years and I
recently discovered REALbasic," offers Geoffrey Rabe, a long-time
Windows/Visual Basic developer. "I am pleased with the level of
commitment
REAL Software has to continuously improving this product. It has quickly
become my favorite development environment."
