Paradigma Ships Valentina Technology Release 2.2 Products

NEW UNIVERSAL BINARY SUPPORT, PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

February 21, 2006. Beaverton, Oregon. Leading multi-platform database vendor
Paradigma Software, Inc, makers of the ultra-fast Valentina 2 Office Server,
announce technology release 2.2 of all of its Valentina 2.x based database
products.

Valentina 2's next generation, object-relational database model builds on
the traditional relational database model much like C++ builds on top of the
C language. All that you know from working with traditional database systems
from IBM, Oracle and Microsoft also apply to Valentina-based development.
This robust technology excels at ultra fast management of millions of
records.

Valentina 2.2 ADK for REAL Software's REALbasic includes support for Mach-O,
three new array handling functions, three new bit handling functions, and
four new record navigation functions. Performance improvements for
conversion from Valentina 1.x to 2.x format were also included.

In support of Apple's Intel-based Macintosh systems, Valentina 2.2
Technology Release includes Valentina 2.2 ADK C++ Universal Binary for Mac
OS X, and a universal binary version of Valentina Studio, the database
browser, query and server set up tool. A universal binary edition of
Valentina Office Server is in internal beta. With Valentina Developer
Network, developers can ship true server applications royalty free.

"Valentina is fast, and faster still on Mac-on-Intel. We are committed to
supporting the new architecture and, as soon as IDE vendors can ship their
Intel ready solutions, we will be waiting," said Lynn Fredricks, president
of Paradigma Software.

The release also included improvements in the COM (VB 6, Delphi), .net (VB
2005), Macromedia Director and Runtime Revolution versions. ADK Standard
Edition ADKs start at $199; VDN pricing begins at $499. Owners of the 2.x
versions of the products receive a free upgrade to 2.2.
