ProBas 5.0 Now Shipping With over 300 New Routines June 3, 1992 -- With ProBas 5.0, programmers gain a complete set of easy-to-use tools to make their programs faster and better, and easier to create and maintain. TeraTech, which is becoming the most comprehensive and practical source for programming tools for occasional, everyday and professional programmers, announced today the shipping of ProBas 5.0, the easiest to use and most comprehensive collection of tools for BASIC programmers. Mike Maw, Director of Marketing, noted: "The ProBas product line has been in the market for five years and is very solid and tested. There are many reviews of the earlier releases, all of which received outstanding ratings. This upgrade is the most important release yet, featuring a total of 936 routines. These routines will help all programmers, from novice to professional, to use everything their computer has, including mouses, expanded and extended memory, speakers, colors, everything, and yet these routines make programming easier and more fun." The company noted that the 936 routines in ProBas 5.0 make the library 66% larger than ProBas 4.0, and the largest BASIC library available anywhere. The new routines include significant new GUI, XMS/EMS, LZW file compression and huge array processing routines, among many others. Further, the company reported that its extensive beta testing and quality control had improved a large number of the earlier routines, making them better and faster. TeraTech, Inc., a member of the International Development & Enterprise Alliance ("IDEA"), acquired the ProBas library from Hammerly Computer Services, Inc., including full development and marketing rights. Since the acquisition earlier this year, the ProBas development team and technical support staffs have joined TeraTech to complete the ProBas 5.0 project, and to develop additional programmer tools. Elizabeth Whittaker, a member of the TeraTech production team, gave extensive credit to Wayne Hammerly, the original producer of the ProBas products, and to Tom Hanlin, the original author of the ProBas program. "They had a vision, and TeraTech is bringing their vision to all programmers, not just BASIC programmers, and to programmers throughout the world." Ms. Whittaker also noted that the ProBas 5.0 tools are so effective that the program comes with an unconditional 90-day money back guarantee. TeraTech disclosed today that programming is well along for tools for Visual Basic, C and Pascal, which are expected to be shipped late in the first quarter of 1992.
