Visual Systems Corporation Introduces Cross-platform GUI Development
Toolkit

Toolkit Simplifies Development of Cross-platform GUIs

Ham Lake, Minnesota - Visual Systems Corporation today released GUI-Kit for
Win32s and Windows NT environments. GUI-Kit is a C and C++ cross-platform
GUI development toolkit which simplifies the development of GUI-based
applications.

"We created GUI-Kit to fill the void left by the other cross-platform GUI
toolkits," said Dan Syrstad, President of Visual Systems Corporation.
"Products such as XVT and Open Interface provide cross-platform
capability, but they don't make the development process any easier and
they're expensive as well. Other products such as Zinc and zApp are
C++-only; most of our potential customers have not migrated to C++.
GUI-Kit simplifies development, works with C or C++, and is inexpensive.
If a developer decides to switch to C++ later, GUI-Kit provides a simple
migration path. In addition, they can reuse all of their existing C code
in their C++ applications."

GUI-Kit provides an intuitive and elegant object-oriented programming
environment which can be used in C or C++. GUI-Kit supports 32-bit
cross-platform GUI development under Win32s, Windows NT, OS/2, and
UNIX/Motif. The toolkit aims to simplify the development and maintenance
process -- a typical developer can be writing GUI applications within
hours. Once a company's staff has been trained, they can deploy
applications on any supported platform. Developers can create applications
with a professional appearance in a fraction of the time. The application
will also be smaller and easier to understand and maintain. Because
GUI-Kit applications are typically much smaller their native API
counterparts, they also have fewer bugs.

GUI-Kit also allows rapid prototyping of an application. Using GUI-Kit's
prototyping tool, a developer can create, modify, and test the visual
interface of the application without writing one line of C code.

DMAKE, a cross-platform MAKE utility, is included with GUI-Kit. Although
most makefiles are incompatible from one platform to another, DMAKE lets
developers write one makefile that can be used with all platforms and
compilers supported by GUI-Kit. DMAKE greatly enhances the productivity
for any development project, not just those using GUI-Kit.

GUI-Kit for Win32s and Windows NT may be purchased directly from Visual
Systems for $249 through April 30, 1995 -- nearly 50% off the retail price
of $495. GUI-Kit comes with a 60-day money back guarantee, no runtime
fees, free support, and more than 3300 portable icons.

Founded in 1991, Visual Systems Corporation provides high-quality
development tools designed to simplify and enhance the development
process. Visual Systems also provides consulting and custom software
services for Windows, OS/2, and UNIX. For more information on GUI-Kit and
