“Today at PCExpo, Inprise/Borland (Nasdaq:INPR) announced
Borland CLX (component library for cross-platform), the
next-generation component library and framework for easily and
rapidly developing native Linux and Windows applications and
reusable components. CLX simplifies graphical user interface (GUI),
database, and Web application development with a cross-platform
component framework design based on the award winning Delphi and
C++Builder visual component library (VCL).”
“CLX will be available in the forthcoming Linux version of
the Borland Delphi and C++Builder tools, code-named “Kylix”. The
Kylix Project is a native rapid application development (RAD)
environment for the Linux operating system, and will also be
incorporated into the next Windows versions of Delphi and
C++Builder.”
“CLX is an exciting next step for mainstream software
application development,” said Michael Swindell, director of
product management for Inprise/Borland. “CLX and the Kylix Project
incorporate object oriented programming, rapid visual development,
cross-platform and fully native code, with speed and
reliability.”
