Metrowerks to Represent RTXC Operating Systems Worldwide

Houston, TX, October 1, 2002 - Quadros Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of configurable, real-time operating systems and Metrowerks, recognized experts in software development tools, have signed an agreement under which Metrowerks will distribute RTXC real-time operating systems and associated products to its customer base worldwide.

"RTXC real-time operating systems are already supported by Metrowerks CodeWarrior™ tools for many embedded processor platforms including 68K, ARM, ColdFire, Power PC, and StarCore," said Tom Barrett, president of Quadros Systems, Inc. "This agreement allows us to reach many more customers with a powerful combination of RTOS and development tools."

"We're excited to be working with Quadros Systems," said John Smolucha, vice president of marketing at Metrowerks. "RTXC operating systems have a large and loyal user base. We expect the reach of our global sales channels to grow this base with a new set of customers who will benefit from the tight integration of CodeWarrior development tools and RTXC."

RTXC products have set the standard in deterministic, operating systems for control and general processing applications. RTXC Quadros, the newest member of the RTXC family, offers a unique, configurable kernel architecture with single and multi stack kernel frameworks that offer excellent flexibility in applications using DSP, microprocessors and multi-cores.

In addition to real-time operating systems, Quadros Systems' RTXC product line includes RTXCnet, a suite of networking protocols tightly integrated with the RTXC kernel and RTXCfatfile32, a DOS-compatible file system. For Metrowerks users who want increased visibility of kernel objects during debugging, RTXC Quadros offers a kernel awareness module that plugs into the CodeWarrior IDE.
