Industry's Leading GUI Builder Keeps Pace with Quickly Evolving Linux System Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. (ICS), the leading supplier of user interface development tools for UNIX, today announced that its flagship product, Builder Xcessory (BX PRO(tm)), is now available for Red Hat Linux V6.0. This announcement follows the recent announcement of support for SuSE Linux V6.1, the latest release from the leading European distribution of Linux. This announcement underscores ICS' commitment to maintain the pace with the quickly evolving Linux operating system. BX PRO is the GUI builder preferred by UNIX software developers because its WYSIWYG environment simplifies and speeds the creation of user interfaces. ICS has ported the latest BX PRO release, V5.0.5, to Red Hat Linux V6.0. BX PRO 5.0 consists of Builder Xcessory(tm), the industry's most advanced graphical user interface builder for Motif; ViewKit(tm), a flexible and mature C++ reuse framework that can be tailored to accommodate the specific needs of individual businesses; and EnhancementPak(tm), a library of 34 reusable components including business graphs and sophisticated user interface controls. More detailed product information is available under the Products section of the ICS home page at http://www.ics.com. Peter Winston, ICS president, said, "Until now, Internet time has been the buzzword used to describe a quickly evolving industry. But now, the open source model has produced Linux time and it is even faster! This announcement signifies that ICS has set its clocks to Linux time and that our customers can be assured that we will keep current with the quickly evolving Linux system."
