Nu-Mega Introduces Win32s Versions of Its BOUNDS-CHECKER and Soft-ICE
Debugging Tools

Nashua, NH (September 19, 1994)--Nu-Mega Technologies, Inc. today announced
that it has begun shipping Win32s versions of its popular debugging tools,
BOUNDS-CHECKER and Soft-ICE. BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s. Version 1.0 and
Soft-ICE/W, Version 1.5 provide debugging solutions for both application
and systems-level programmers who want to support the Microsoft Win32s
environment. With the release of BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s and SoftICE/W, Version
1.5, Nu-Mega Technologies has become the first software development tools
vendor to offer a complete automated debugging solution for the Win32s
environment.

Why Support Win32s?

The Win32s environment delivers several important benefits, including the
ability to write a single executable that will run unmodified under
Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, "Chicago" Windows, and Windows NT. By
supporting Win32s, developers can build programs that will run under
today's and tomorrow's dominant operating environments. In addition,
programs that support Win32s show significant performance gains due to the
benefits of 32-bit programming: increased execution speed and extended
memory access.

"Many developers are standardizing on the Win32 API and are using Win32s to
make versions of their products for the vast installed base of Windows 3.1
users," said Frank Grossman, president of Nu-Mega Technologies, Inc. "As
is the case with most new operating environments, the availability of high
quality debugging tools has lagged behind the release of the Win32s
platform. We identified this need and responded to it by releasing
BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s and SoftICE/W, Version 1.5."

BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s

BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s is the only debugging tool that will automatically catch
common Win32s programming errors, such as memory and heap corruption, API
parameter errors, API failures, and memory and resource leaks. It combines
the functionality of a heap checker, debug kernel, and message and event
logger into a single, comprehensive debugging tool.

TVIEW, a message and event logger that is included in the
BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s package, offers trace viewing functionality. Working
seamlessly with TVIEW, BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s logs events such as API calls
and API returns. TVIEW presents these events in a tree structure, allowing
developers to follow the flow of a program leading up to an error.

BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s is an automated debugging tool that waits in the
background as your program runs. When it encounters a bug, it pops up a
dialog box and freezes execution. BOUNDS-CHECKER presents the information
needed to fix the problem, allowing developers to investigate bugs as they
appear and continue debugging their program.

Soft-ICE/W, Version 1.5

Soft-ICE/W, Version 1.5 for Windows and Win32s is an application and
systems-level debugging tool that allows developers to debug all of the
major Windows components, including: 16-bit Windows applications and DLLs;
32-bit Win32s applications; Windows drivers and virtual device drivers
(VxDs); and DOS programs, including DOS drivers and DOS TSRs.

Soft-ICE/W, Version 1.5 debugs both 16 and 32-bit Windows programs,
allowing programmers to perform source-level debugging of Win32s
applications that make calls to 16-bit DLLs. SoftICE/W, Version 1.5 offers
this capability through its support of the Win32s "Universal Thunk"
feature, which eliminates the need to rewrite 16-bit DLLs or drivers for
32-bit applications running under Windows.

Soft-ICE/W also allows developers to debug any code in Windows without side
effects, including Windows heaps, Windows handles, and Windows VxDs. In
addition, it provides display commands that show developers many internal
structures that are useful for system-wide debugging.

Soft-ICE/W for Windows and Win32s is a powerful debugging tool that is
especially suited for the debugging requirements of the systems-level
developer. Originally created to offer an affordable, but functionally
equivalent, alternative to expensive hardware-based ICEs (In-Circuit
Emulators), Soft-ICE/W has hardware style breakpoints, including memory
range, back trace history, I/O port access, and interrupts.

Nu-Mega Technologies, Inc. is an international supplier of award-winning
software development tools and utilities for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows,
the Microsoft Win32s environment, and Novell NetWare 3.x platforms. In
1987, Nu-Mega introduced Soft-ICE for DOS, the industry's first
software-based alternative to the hardware-based ICE. In 1989, Nu-Mega
released BOUNDS-CHECKER for DOS, the first automated debugging tool.
Nu-Mega Technologies has extended its family of products to include
Soft-ICE/W, Version 1.5 for Windows 3.1 and Win32s, and versions of
BOUNDS-CHECKER for Windows 3.1, Win32s, and Windows NT.

BOUNDS-CHECKER32/s, Version 1.0 is available from Nu-Mega for $249.
Soft-ICE/W, Version 1.5 is available from Nu-Mega for $386. Updates from
Version 1.41 of Soft-ICE/W are available for $69. Corporate licenses are
also available.
