REAL Software, Inc., has announced REALbasic 2005 for Windows Release 3, a rapid application development (RAD) environment that enables professional and non-professional programmers alike to quickly create software that runs on Windows, even Macintosh and Linux.

REALbasic creates self-contained executables and eliminates the common problems and installation issues associated with DLLs or external frameworks typical of other cross-platform development environments.

Because REALbasic 2005 for Windows is powerful, yet easy-to-use and similar to Visual Basic, three million Visual Basic developers around the world can leverage their skills to create great software for Windows.

They gain a new benefit as well -- their software will run on Linux and Macintosh -- because REALbasic is cross-platform.

Release 3 incorporates new features and functionality for improving Visual Basic compatibility and usability, including:

• More stable debugger in Windows
  


• New TypeName() as String function that mimics the functionality of Visual Basic and improves productivity for VB users
  


• Enhanced theme-savvy capabilities for Windows widgets such as the disclosure triangle
  


• Improvements to the compiler that speed software development
  


• Enhanced support for 3D graphics within REALbasic
  

REALbasic 2005 for Windows includes a Visual Basic Project Converter. A white paper outlining best practices for migrating is also available from the company.
