Paradigma Software Announces Valentina 2 for Revolution

NEW DESKTOP AND TRUE SERVER APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS FOR REV
DEVELOPERS; SPONSORED REVCON CONFERENCE BUYERS GET $100 DISCOUNT

June 13, 2005. Beaverton, Oregon. Paradigma Software, Inc, makers of the
ultra-fast Valentina 2 Office Server for Mac OS X and Windows, announce
Valentina 2 for Revolution ADK and Valentina Developer Network for
Revolution products. Valentina 2 technology is the result of three years of
improvements upon the incredibly fast and robust database technology
underlying many developer solutions for Macintosh and Windows.

Valentina 2 Application Developer Kits provide software developers with the
incredibly fast and robust Valentina 2 database engine for royalty free
incorporation into their desktop applications. Developers who use Runtime
Revolution (http://www.runrev.com) on Mac OS X and Windows have previously
been able to use Valentina XCMD 1.x for their projects. New advances in
Valentina 2 include:

- New Abstraction Links. Foreign Keys, fast Valentina ObjectPtrs and
Valentina Binary links for 1:1, 1:M and M:M links.

- New Speed Improvements. Valentina 2 Cache, new internal file system and
RAM-based options dramatically increase speed over the already fast
Valentina 1.x technology.

- Unicode. Support for the original 170 encodings plus UTF-8 and UTF-16
native databases, leveraging IBM's superior Unicode framework.

- Valentina XML. Import and export both data and schema.

- Valentina SQL. SQL'92 compliance as well as native API calls in all products.

- Simultaneous Data Exchange. Connect to data stored on read-only media
such as CDROMS, Valentina-based servers on intranets or the Internet, local
databases and more.

- Transparent File Format. Use the same database files on Windows and Mac
OS X clients and servers.

- 50 example projects to work with.

Others include new reference integrity, record level locks and 448-bit
encryption.

Valentina 2 for Revolution (single OS) has a price of $199. Valentina 2 for
Revolution Professional includes all operating systems supported and a free
copy of Valentina Studio Administrator, has a price of $299.

Valentina Developer Network Platform Edition for Revolution includes all
the benefits of a Valentina 2 Professional ADK, but also includes:

royalty free, on all operating systems supported.

- VDN member only rights to purchase additional Connections to extend the
number of connections on a deployment of Embedded Server.
