RUNTIME UNVEILS REVOLUTION 1.1 FOR MAC OS X

Runtime Revolution Delivers Native Support for Ground Breaking Operating
System and Offers Low Price Cross-grade for HyperCard Users

Edinburgh, Scotland. Thursday 8th November 2001. Runtime Revolution today
announced the launch of Revolution 1.1, a native Mac OS X application
development system that offers cross-platform database access and enhanced
multimedia support for QuickTime.

Revolution 1.1 for Mac OS X delivers seamless integration with the Aqua user
interface and the operating system's underlying Unix-based foundation.
Using Revolution's unique "write once, deploy anywhere" technology, a
developer can write an application on Mac OS X and port it instantly to all
of the other available platforms. With its high level integrated language,
application prototyping and fast development capabilities, Revolution 1.1
for Mac OS X saves users time, money and effort.

"Revolution is becoming the tool of choice for developing cross-platform
software," said Kevin Miller, Runtime's Managing Director. "With Revolution
1.1 for Mac OS X, development takes only a fraction of the effort when
compared to other tools and we're absolutely delighted to provide native
support for the Mac community."

"Beneath its elegant user interface, Mac OS X is an exceptional development
platform that delivers amazing stability, power and interoperability," said
Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.
"Revolution 1.1 for Mac OS X is a very compelling tool for developers and
we're excited to have their support."

Revolution 1.1 leverages the speed, power and ease of use of Mac OS X to
present over 80 improvements and new features including:
.. Native Mac OS X support
.. Cross-platform access to ODBC, Oracle and MySQL databases
.. Extended support for Internet protocols such as FTP
.. Seamless integration with Apple's state-of-the- art QuickTime multimedia
technology, including support for streaming media, sound recording and
transition effects
.. PNG alpha channels and blends

Since its launch in July of this year, Revolution has joined the ranks of
the leading developer tools and was recently awarded a top score rating of
five mice by MacUser magazine (UK). A recent independent study showed that
an application written in Revolution can take half the programming effort to
develop when compared to a leading competitor.

A free Starter Kit Edition is available for you to download from:

HyperCard or SuperCard a cross-grade to Revolution Professional Edition,
which comes complete with one year's updates and email technical support,
for $199 - an 80% discount. This offer is time limited - see the Runtime
