Paradigma Software Releases Valentina 2 for Revolution

NEW DESKTOP AND TRUE CLIENT SERVER DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS FOR REV DEVELOPERS

September 23, 2005. Beaverton, Oregon.  Paradigma Software, Inc, makers of
the ultra-fast Valentina 2 Office Server for MacOS X and Windows, announce
the release of 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 thousands of custom developer solutions.

“Valentina 2 products enable Revolution developers to create and deploy
desktop and client-server enterprise solutions across mixed Windows and
MacOS X networks,” said Kevin Miller, president of Runtime Revolution, Ltd,
“the combination of the ease-of-use and cross-platform nature of Revolution
and Valentina make for perfect solution.”

Purchasers of Valentina 2 for Revolution can, through October 8, receive a
substantial discount on new seats of Runtime Revolution Studio using a
discount voucher provided by Runtime, Paradigma or an authorized
distributor. Buyers can save up to £50 or $70 when purchasing Studio through
the Runtime online store.

Valentina 2 Application Developer Kits provide software developers with
Valentina 2 database engine for royalty free incorporation into their
desktop applications. 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. Since
Revolution support of Unicode is incomplete, Valentina for Revolution
automatically transforms the encodings to work with Revolution.
-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 MacOS X
clients and servers.
-50 example projects to work with.

Others include new reference integrity, record level locks and 448-bit
encryption. All Valentina 2 products (including Office Server and versions
for Director and REALbasic) have been updated to version 2.0.5 to
incorporate numerous performance and SQL improvements, including addition of
SQL Load/Dump and SQL commands Get Property and Set Property.

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

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

-License to deploy Valentina 2 Embedded Server (default five connections),
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.
