Interactive Development Environments Inc, San Francisco, California, will introduce version 2.0 of core Software through Pictures development environment on October 16. The latest release includes a Motif interface and enhancements to make the environment more personal computer-like, said the company, without elaborating further. TakeFive Software Inc’s SNiFF+ 2.0 has been integrated by reverse engineering the software onto Software through Pictures’s two object-oriented analysis, design and code generation toolsets, StP/Object Modelling Technique, and StP/Booch. Previously, StP only had class capture reverse re-engineering. SNiFF enables users to capture C++ code in analysis and design programmes using Object Modelling Technique and Booch, make changes to code incrementally, and save and re-use code. SNiFF can be integrated onto StP/OMT and StP/Booch separately, and costs $12,000 each, or fully integrated onto the combined StP/OMT-Booch product. SNiFF+2.0 costs $3,000 purchased directly. StP runs on IBM Corp, Hewlett-Packard Co, Digital Equipment Corp and Sun Microsystems Inc systems. The company still plans to release a Windows version of StP but not until the beginning of next year, said the firm.
