VirtualSellers.com Inc. (OTCBB: VDOT) is one such company. VDOT issued some very interesting news today about the release of a new version (v5) of its TAME(tm) software. The release states that TAME V is an alternative to the popular Java programming language and that it saves significant programming time -- which equates to direct cost savings to Web developers, network programmers and software developers. This is a powerful, yet simple-to-use programming tool that automates and streamlines some very complicated tasks. [part1.gif] Todays News [part2.gif] COMPANY CONTACT: MEDIA & INVESTOR RELATIONS: Everett Palmer, Investor Relations VirtualSellers.com, Inc. 312.920.9120 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE VIRTUALSELLERS.COM RELEASES AN ALTERNATIVE TO JAVA -Virtualsellers Releases Version Five Of Its Proprietary TAME Pure Scripting Language - CHICAGO, Ill., March 21, 2001 VirtualSellers.com, Inc. (OTC BB: VDOT), a developer and provider of software and technology used to automate and streamline Web and e-commerce applications, announced today that it has completed development of version five of its TAME software. TAME V is now available for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Web developers and networking programmers. The new version of TAME, is a faster, easier, and more powerful version than its predecessors. This high performance, platform independent, server-side programming package is used to produce Web pages, Web-based applications, and e-commerce applications. It serves as the glue between many Web-based platforms, languages and legacy systems including XML and XSL applications, and in the future, Microsofts .NET. As a leader in platform independence, TAME V can be deployed on Linux, UNIX, or Windows NT. Its distinct advantage lies in reducing the complexity of accessing application programming interfaces (APIs), ODBC and most other files systems. TAME is the most productive Web development tool on the market, said Dennis Sinclair, PhD., president and CEO of VirtualSellers. TAMEs simplified language and the ability to use previously developed code makes transition seamless and requires minimal training. TAME V simplifies how systems and software work together and requires 25 percent less code than Java Script. The smaller code package reduces the amount of space required for files to move through a network, reducing bandwidth usage. Programming in TAME is consistent, requiring less programming time and a lower level programming skill set resulting in lower labor rates. Its interfaces can eliminate bugs, errors, and other programming flaws. At the core of the system is a concise, proprietary engine that provides the language interpreter and basic functionality. That means less overhead and a smaller memory footprint, said Sinclair. TAME only employs what is required in an application, instead of redundant and unnecessary tools. The result is an efficient, but flexible software that makes loading easy, development fast and cost savings routine. With these new enhancements on TAME V, lesser-skilled programmers can produce results immediately. If a unique or complex problem arises, an average C programmer can be brought in to identify and solve the problem. The solution can then be given to the script coders for manipulation. TAME software also provides additional core functionality that is easily inserted into the language, allowing script programmers to tackle the application scripting and continue with the creative process to make the application attractive to the end user. The Installation of TAME is very simple, utilizing fully automated standard installation software that is familiar to most Web-servers allowing for quick installation and configuration of the product. Once installed, no further action is required, except, perhaps, when adding any optional application modules. TAME is based on objects and is extensible, so new objects or functions may be created in C or C++ and will result as an extension of the Web-server as dynamic libraries. This gives the TAME software unlimited flexibility and control. For the most part, the developers may replace or add objects, file routines, database access, or any other functions as they see fit, thus avoiding interface problems that invariably arise with other less flexible scripting languages. And any code developed as business rules, are now reusable among many applications, providing a greater and quicker return on investment. TAME has the ability to converse with multiple databases on any platform, using ODBC connectivity. This eliminates the need for custom connections with custom software specific to those connections. And moving to another platform becomes a non-issue. The new features of TAME V include: · Universal concepts found on APL, C++, Java and other scripting languages. · Flextype Variables that are non-declarative, yet strongly typed. · Syntax checking. · Generalized arrays (arrays of arrays) have been implemented. · Session management allows for persistence of objects, variables, and page connections. · A configuration file allows for multiple instance control of applications. · A configuration file allows for specific control of loading only the required object modules. · Script library files that are loaded and parsed only once. · Script library files that reside in memory for faster access. · Support for XML and XSL for processing data and connectivity to other XML systems.
