INTELLICORP DELIVERS KAPPA-PC 2.0 OBJECT-ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT FOR INTEGRATING DESKTOP AND HOST-BASED APPLICATIONS ObjectWorld, San Francisco, California, July 21, 1992 -- IntelliCorp (NASDAQ/NMS:INAI) has started shipping KAPPA-PC 2.0, an object-oriented application framework for unifying desktop computing with traditional Information Systems (IS) host-based transaction processing and database environments. KAPPA-PC 2.0 supports links to a wide range of Microsoft Windows-based applications including spreadsheets, text management, and graphic presentation software. Among the links now supported are Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) and a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) interface. KAPPA-PC 2.0 also allows users to create composite applications on the PC that integrate access to UNIX and mainframe data and transactions. KAPPA-PC customers can now use PROKAPPA servers to off-load logic processing to UNIX workstations. "With KAPPA-PC 2.0, IntelliCorp customers can begin to develop and deliver three-tiered client/server solutions across PC's, UNIX workstations, and mainframes," said Kc Branscomb, president and chief executive officer of IntelliCorp. "Combined with KAPPA-PC's graphical development and business modeling capabilities, this is a unique offering in the marketplace." GEARED TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPERS In addition to the integration capabilities, KAPPA-PC 2.0 provides a high-level graphical development environment geared to professional developers. Al Garcia of the Advanced Development Center of Electronics and Space Corporation says, "KAPPA-PC has been my tool of choice because it offers me the broadest range of programming models, i.e., object- oriented, rule-based, and procedural programming. It has the friendli- est developer interface, and the open architecture gives me the freedom I need to configure software that is unrestricted in its functionality." KAPPA-PC 2.0 supports rapid application development and deployment by providing facilities to incrementally test and refine applications without the standard compile, link, and edit cycles, three highly time- consuming elements of traditional programming techniques. Among KAPPA-PC's benefits are generation of ANSI C code for Microsoft, Borland C and C++ compilers, and the provision of powerful class libraries for debugging, program management, and building graphical user interfaces. Version 2.0 delivers a twenty-fold overall performance improvement over previous releases of KAPPA-PC. Release 2.0 of KAPPA-PC is available immediately, and is compatible with MS-Windows version 3.1. Special promotional pricing is currently available for a limited time only for development licenses. Interanational pricing may vary.
