CodeWarrior PDK for NetWare Helps Developers Get Their Network Solutions
to Market Fast
AUSTIN, Texas-January 28, 2002-A new development tool kit from
Metrowerks allows developers of Net services software applications to
quickly and easily create Novell(r) NetWare(r) applications, NetWare
Loadable Modules (NLMs) and device drivers using the popular
CodeWarrior(tm) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and tool set.
CodeWarrior Professional Development Kit (PDK) for NetWare, Version 4.0,
an add-on to CodeWarrior for Windows, Version 7.0, provides developers
with the capability to edit, compile, and debug NLM applications for
NetWare using C, C++ and Java languages. Developers can also take
advantage of Novell eDirectory(tm) and other network services available
on Novell's intelligent network server platform, to add intelligence,
manageability, and security to cross-platform network solutions that can
be distributed across the enterprise and the World Wide Web.
"Software application developers are a critical part of the success of
Novell's Net services solutions," said Michael Simpson, vice president
of platform solutions for Novell. "Metrowerks is a key partner as its
CodeWarrior development tools make it easy to develop such solutions and
get them to market as fast as possible."
Additional features of the PDK include source-level debugging
capabilities, such as:
* Ability to pause, restart, and re-enable thread execution across
multiple threads
* Ability to control thread execution on multiple processors
* Ability to follow debugging sessions across multiple NLMs and to view
source for multiple NLMs at the same time.
* Support for Kernel aware debugging
* Support for remote debugging via TCP/IP or Serial protocol
"The PDK for NetWare provides another popular platform to target for the
many developers already familiar with the CodeWarrior IDE and tool set,"
said John Smolucha, vice president of marketing, Metrowerks. "The
powerful CodeWarrior IDE and tool set, combined with an industry leading
network operating system, NetWare 6, make it easier than ever to create
network solutions."
The CodeWarrior Professional Development Kit for NetWare is hosted on
Windows(r) 98, Windows NT(r) (Service Pack 6), and Windows 2000 (Service
Pack 2) operating systems, and targets NetWare 5 and NetWare 6.
The tool kit was developed by Metrowerks' Software Solutions Group,
which provides custom software solutions for desktop and embedded
systems. For more information, visit http://www.metrowerks.com/services.

About NetWare 6
NetWare 6 grants users freedom to be mobile without giving up the
advantages of office-based network access. NetWare WebAccess provides
user access via a Web browser to files, printers, e-mail, calendar,
corporate address book, etc., all through a customizable portal,
regardless of desktop operating system or device. With Novell
iFolder(tm), users can securely access and synchronize their files
across all types of networks and on any Internet-enabled machine. Novell
iPrint lets customers use a simple Web browser to find and install a
printer and securely print with the click of a mouse, all via the
Internet, so there are no location restraints on either the user or the
printer. That means savings in terms of faster setup and reduced
support calls, along with giving mobile users the ability to print
anywhere.
