Microworks is making a pre-release version of Gazelle(tm) Applet Developer
available to a limited number of early adopters and beta testers for
evaluation purposes.

Gazelle(TM) is based on the Juice(1) technology. It uses the Oberon
programing language, a streamlined Pascal type language which combines type
strictness (like Pascal) with object orientation and dynamic binding
(similar to Smalltalk or Lisp). Gazelle(TM) generates *portable* binary
code. Gazelle(TM) slim binaries are platform independent (currently Intel
and Motorolla CPU's are supported), yet swift (Gazelle binaries have been
benchmarked to run at speeds close to C++ native compiled code, about 10 -
15 times as fast as Java). In addition, Gazelle(TM) binaries have the
advantage of typically being smaller than comparable native binaries and
significantly smaller than Java VM binaries, making them especially
well-suited for internet downloads.

Gazelle(TM) binaries are compatible with the Juice(1) netscape plug-ins
that have been tested with Netscape and Internet Explorer. The plug-ins are
available for Intel based PC's running 32 Bit MS Windows and Macintosh
compatible Power PCs.

For further information please email Elan at icimjs@loop.com. Pls. include
information regarding your programing platform, whether you have had
experience programing with Pascal or Modula and pls. don't forget to
include your preferred email address.

Pls let us know if you are interested in other platforms besides Win95 for
the Developer environment and/or for the plug-in.
