INPRISE/BORLAND WILL RADICALLY SIMPLIFY APACHE™ WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Inprise/Borland's Kylix™ Project To Include High-Performance Components For Apache™ Web Application Development

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. - July 11, 2000 - Inprise/Borland (Nasdaq:INPR) today announced full support of native database driven Apache™ Server applications in its forthcoming Linux® developer tool set code named "Kylix." The Kylix™ project, planned to be available later in 2000, will enable rapid Web application development for the Apache Web Server on the Linux operating system (OS), and for the Windows® platform in an upcoming version of Delphi™.

By supporting Apache Server applications, the Kylix project will allow developers to build native applications in an object-oriented, component-based development environment, with Linux OS and Windows OS cross-platform flexibility. In addition to supporting the Apache Server, the Kylix project will create a migration path from other HTTP Web servers to the Apache Server for today's applications developed with Borland® Delphi and C++Builder™. Web servers supported include: Microsoft® Internet Information Server (IIS); Netscape® servers through Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Internet Server Application Program Interface (ISAPI); and Netscape Server Application Programming Interface (NSAPI).

"Apache's performance, reliability and cross-platform availability have made it the most widely used Web server on the Internet," said Michael Swindell, director of product management, Inprise/Borland. "With the introduction of the Kylix project, software developers will be able to bring native code performance and Linux/Windows cross-platform flexibility to the Apache Server. We believe that the Kylix project will become the standard for high-performance, mission-critical Web applications development."

"We have strived to build a robust and commercial-grade reference implementation of the HTTP protocol", said Brian Behlendorf, president of the Apache Software Foundation and chief technology officer of Collab.Net. "Today's broad acceptance of the Apache Web server is a tribute to the ability of individuals and institutions to build reliable systems, both for experimental purposes and for mission-critical purposes. We are thrilled to see Inprise/Borland helping to fulfill our vision and increase the value of the Apache Web server."

Kylix NetCLX™ Web Development for the Apache Server includes:

Rapid Web application development
Ultra high-performance native code and Apache applications
Component-based visual tools to reduce time to market and maximize high reliability
Cross-platform Linux OS and Windows OS flexibility
Simplified application migration from IIS and Netscape

About The Kylix Project

The Kylix project is intended to be the first high-performance rapid application development (RAD) tool for the Linux platform. The Kylix project is a component-based development environment for two-way visual development of graphical user interface (GUI), Internet, database and server applications. The Kylix project will be powered by a new high-speed native Delphi/C/C++ compiler for Linux and will implement a native Linux, and cross-platform version of the Borland VCL (Visual Component Library) architecture called CLX™. CLX is designed to radically speed native Linux application development and simplify the porting of Delphi and C++Builder applications between Windows and Linux operating systems.
