July 1, 1992 -- Long Beach, CA - TransEra Corp. (Provo, UT) announces the
release of the latest addition to their High Tech Basic product line: the
HTBasic DOS 386/486 Numeric Compiler.

Focusing on the subroutines which most often require the greatest amount of
time to execute, the DOS 386/486 Numeric Compiler helps any HTBasic
programmer produce faster running numeric intensive subprograms without
requiring any additional programming skills.

The Numeric Compiler produces code that runs in the fast 386/486 processor
32-bit protected mode. It also produces in-line math code to fully utilize
the 387/486 math processor. The improved performance of Intel-based PC's,
combined with the significant increase in execution speed obtained from
the TransEra Numeric Compiler, allows much of your PC-based Rocky Mountain
BASIC code to run at speeds comparable with even the fastest HP BASIC
workstations. In addition, the Numeric Compiler can also generate EXE
files which require only the HTBasic DOS 386/486 Runtime Version to
execute. This allows program developers and users to share their programs
without the added cost of the HTBasic development environment.

High Tech Basic

HTBasic is a PC-based engineering BASIC that provides a lower cost
alternative to the traditional workstation environment. HTBasic,
compatible with HP 9000 Series 200/300 HP BASIC, offers features such as
easy to use HP-style IEEE-488.2 commands, data acquisition and RS-232
instrument control statements, COMPLEX arithmetic, complete HP-style
screen, plotter, and printer graphics, SCPI compatibility, and HPGL
plotter support. HTBasic also allows the user to transfer data between
their current HP BASIC workstation and their favorite DOS software.
Earlier HTBasic product additions include software drivers for data
acquisition boards from National Instruments and Data Translation. In
addition to the new data acquisition drivers and the Numeric Compiler,
HTBasic also supports a variety of IEEE-488 GPIB cards, including
TransEra's own GPIB-900 card.

Price and Availability

The TransEra HTBasic DOS 386/486 Numeric Compiler, including the complete
