New
Xbase Product Family Expands Developer Options
Initial
Release for Linux Available Immediately
|
SAN LEANDRO, CA—Adding an important development tool for professional Xbase developers, PlugSys International announces a new compiler for the Linux operating system. Max for Linux, a new product for compiling and running Xbase code on Linux-based computers, has been posted for immediate download at the PlugSys web site (http://www.plugsys.com).
Max for Linux is the first release in a
broader product family. Soon to follow will be Max DOS 32/W MaxWeb and MaxWeb
ASP. All products share a common codebase and a commitment to quickly migrating
legacy Xbase applications.
“Clipper developers have traditionally led
the way in the Xbase world,” says Marc Schnapp, PlugSys Marketing Vice President.
“So we are proud to announce the publication of our ‘Clipper to Max Migration
Guide.’ This 40-page downloadable document will assist experienced developers
in evaluating the product and mastering its added features.”
Sharing many features familiar to experienced
Xbase developers, Max adds some unique capabilities of its own:
Evaluation is a seamless process PlugSys
International invites Xbase developers to download evaluation copies of Max
for Linux and to provide their email addresses for further product availability
announcements. Once a developer decides to become a licensed PlugSys customer,
he or she simply revisits the company’s web site and arranges for an activation
key. Full downloadable documentation is publicly available to evaluators and
customers.

PlugSys International enjoys a decade of
development experience based upon a predecessor product line marketed in Brazil
as Joiner. Joiner is still heavily used by DOS and SCO Unix developers
in that market. Joiner is the 32-bit successor with availability for Microsoft’s
32-bit Windows operating systems and for major Linux distributions.
