AUSTIN, TEXAS - August 5, 2003 - Metrowerks' position as a leading 
provider of development solutions for the Mac(r) OS platform has 
advanced with the release of CodeWarrior(tm) Development Studio for Mac 
OS, v9. 

The studio includes a broad array of features that enhance productivity 
and shorten development cycles, including: 
- the Metrowerks PowerPlant(tm) X C++ framework, which allows developers 
to write native Mac OS X code using Mac OS X supported features; 

- the fastest compiler and build system available for the Mac platform; 
- a feature that provides developers a visual display of their package 
and allows for easy drag-and-drop of files or folders into the package; 
and  

- expanded Objective-C code development within the CodeWarrior tool 
suite. 

"This newest version of the CodeWarrior(tm) Development Studio for Mac 
OS reflects Metrowerks' deep understanding of the Macintosh(r) platform 
and demonstrates the company's ongoing commitment to Mac developers," 
said Metrowerks President and Chief Executive Officer, Jim Welch.  
"Nearly all of the existing Mac applications released have been built 
using CodeWarrior tools, and this new version includes innovations to 
help Metrowerks maintain its leadership in development solutions for the 
Mac platform."

 
The newest CodeWarrior suite operates seamlessly with the recently 
introduced Metrowerks_ CodeTEST_ Software Analysis Tools for Mac_ OS X 
-- the only comprehensive suite of C/C++ software analysis tools 
available for the Mac OS X platform.  The two products combine to offer 
a comprehensive set of development solutions for Macintosh developers.

CodeWarrior Development Studio for Mac OS, v9 runs on Mac OS X and 
includes the ability to target Mac OS X, Classic Mac OS and Windows(r) 
OS development within a single project to create applications with cross 
platform capabilities. The suite supports most common development 
languages including C, C++ and Objective-C, allowing developers to work 
in Apple Cocoa frameworks within the CodeWarrior environment.

The product includes PowerPlant X, a Macintosh framework for Mach-O 
development based on the standard programming language C++.  The 
PowerPlant X framework for Mac OS X development supports carbon events, 
HIViews and Unicode, and allows developers to write native Mac OS X code 
using Mac OS X supported features.  Also included in the studio is the 
popular PowerPlant framework for Classic OS and Mac OS X PEF development.
