“TakeFive Software, the leading provider of Source Code
Engineering(TM) (SCE) solutions and an Integrated Systems Company
(Nasdaq: INTS), today announced the release of a specialized
version of SNiFF+ for Linux developers: the SNiFF+ Penguin IDE.
Software developers on Linux now have access to the power of an
industry leading development tool for free. Compared to the latest
release of the commercially available SNiFF+ version 3.2, the new
SNiFF+ Penguin IDE was designed exclusively to meet the needs of C
and C++ developers writing applications for the Linux
platform.”
“A free Linux desktop application development environment like
SNiFF+ makes a valuable contribution to the continued growth of
Linux,” says Benoy Tamang, VP Marketing, Caldera Systems, Inc. “The
availability of powerful tools to support application development
contributes to the evolution of Linux worldwide. Caldera Systems,
the recognized Linux for ebusiness leader, understands that as
developers see the growth of powerful development tools for Linux,
more companies will look at Linux as a viable, supportable business
platform.”
“The new SNiFF+ Penguin IDE is TakeFive Software’s answer to
the requirements of the emerging Linux market. By offering a
limited version of SNiFF+, TakeFive is assisting the growth of this
market in anticipation of future need for the commercial version of
SNiFF+ as Linux projects and teams grow. According to IDC
reports, the number of Linux users has increased by 212% over the
last year. This number is expected to grow even higher for the next
couple of years. Expectations are that by 2003 Linux will be widely
used on the desktop.”
