Borland Ships New Version of Delphi/400 Client/Server Suite for IBM AS/400
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Borland International, Inc.
(Nasdaq: BORL - news) today announced the immediate availability of a major new version of Delphi/400 Client/Server Suite, the company's
award-winning rapid application development tool specialized for the IBM AS/400 series of business computers.
''This new update to Delphi/400 represents the next generation in AS/400 enterprise and electronic business application development,'' said Zack Urlocker, Borland's vice president of Marketing. ''Borland is committed to delivering high-quality tools for the AS/400 developer who needs security, speed, and the ease of RAD development in a highly-productive, visual development environment.''
The new version of Delphi/400 Client/Server Suite is based upon the company's award-winning Delphi 3 Client/Server Suite for Windows 95 and Windows NT -- and ClientObjects/400T AS/400-compatible connectivity and development technology licensed by Borland from TCIS of Paris, France. Delphi/400 Client/Server Suite includes easy one-step ActiveX control creation, advanced data analysis and decision support tools, and powerful new Internet capabilities for creating and deploying powerful e-business applications.
''Our clients are extremely excited about the new features in Delphi/400 Client/Server Suite,'' said Eric Reynolds, director of sales, IBM Solutions for GSE Erudite, a leading AS/400 consulting firm based in Salt Lake City, Utah. ''We feel that Delphi/400 is an ideal solution for true client/server distributed processing with the AS/400. Screen scraper and ODBC tools are absolutely no comparison to the high-speed, native TCP/IP APPC connections of Borland's object-oriented AS/400 development environments.''
What's New in Delphi/400 Client/Server Suite
Delphi/400 Client/Server Suite includes a number of major new features to make client/server and E-business applications easier to build and maintain:

to rapidly create ActiveX controls that can be re-used in all of their
development tools, including C++, Java, Visual Basic, Microsoft Office,

collection of advanced middleware brokers, MIDAS delivers 24x7 reliability,
optimized network performance, and a thin-client architecture for easier
application maintenance, distribution and configuration.
New BusinessInsight tools turn data into information for better decision
making. With Delphi/400 Client/Server Suite, Borland integrates new data
visualization tools for easily analyzing, reporting and presenting corporate
data.
High-Speed Web-Enabled Client/Server Applications -- Using their existing
Delphi knowledge, Delphi/400 developers can now create high-speed,
high-throughput Internet applications that support major Internet standards
such as ISAPI, NSAPI, ActiveX, HTML, WinCGI and CGI.
