FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DTerm 3.0 Now Available VANCOUVER, Washington - 16 October, 2002 Glenn L. Austin today announced the release of DTerm 3.0, a developer tool for Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 for embedding and displaying runtime diagnostic information in real-time. The new version improves performance while reducing CPU load, and provides more abilities to customize the display of the diagnostic output. DTerm consists of a group of instrumentation libraries for Mac OS 9, CFM, and Mach-O, and a separate application to display that instrumentation information. DTerm can also create a customized, limited copy of itself that can be freely distributed to end-users to help diagnose problems. When the monitoring app is not running, the instrumentation libraries basically add no overhead to the program being instrumented. Multiple instrumented applications can send diagnostic information to DTerm without interfering with the information from other programs. Later, multiple programs' information can be merged into a single window to diagnose interactions between the programs. DTerm 3.0 uses a new text engine to display hundreds of lines per second, preferences for displaying the message date and time to the fraction of a second -- or no date and time at all. DTerm 3.0 has been converted to run entirely using Carbon Events to reduce idle CPU usage to nearly zero. "With DTerm 3.0, I feel that we've brought the ability to view and record program status in real-time to real-time," said Glenn L. Austin, CEO of Austin-Soft.com. "With the ability to display diagnostic output separate from the program being instrumented while retaining the ability to view the interactions between programs, DTerm makes the perfect tool for programmers developing client/server applications or applications that take over the entire screen." DTerm 3.0 sells for $64, while upgrades from previous versions are free. Multiple licenses can be purchased at substantial discounts. DTerm 3.0 is available for download from Austin-Soft.com: <http://www.austin-soft.com/DTerm/>. DTerm 3.0 requires Mac OS 9 or later, 64 MB total memory, and 700K disk space.
