for NetWare
Allows Programmers to Build NetWare Applications From a Unique Integrated
Development Environment
Provo, Utah -- May 19, 1998 --Metrowerks Inc. and Novell, Inc. have announced
today that CodeWarrior for NetWare, Metrowerks' software development tool for NetWare®
developers, begins shipping this week. Inclusion of full Windows 95, Windows NT and Java toolsets
makes CodeWarrior the most comprehensive package of tools available for the NetWare developer
community and allows a broader range of developers to quickly and easily develop solutions for Novell's
intelligent network server platform.
CodeWarrior for NetWare is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that enables a developer to
edit, compile, and debug applications that take advantage of NDS, Novell's industry-leading directory
service, along with a range of other network services available on Novell's intelligent network server
platform. CodeWarrior supports the development of server-based applications, such as NetWare
Loadable Modules (NLM) and Java applications, as well as client applications for Windows 95/NT and
Java. By utilizing NDS, developers can add intelligence, manageability, and security to cross-platform
network solutions that can be distributed across the enterprise and the World Wide Web.

- CodeWarrior IDE 3.0 with a seamlessly integrated debugger for Windows 95/NT and Java
applications.

include full C++ support for NetWare as well as a CodeWarrior debugger for NetWare, improving
integration with the CodeWarrior IDE and other CodeWarrior tools.
