Important Note on New Product Names

As part of Sun's new developer product strategy, we have changed the names of our development tools from Sun WorkShop^TM to Forte^TM Developer products. The products, as you can see, are the same high-quality products you have come to expect from Sun; the only thing that has changed is the name.

We believe that the Forte^TM name blends the traditional quality and focus of Sun's core programming tools with the multi-platform, business application deployment focus of the Forte tools, such as Forte Fusion^TM and Forte^TM for Java^TM. The new Forte organization delivers a complete array of tools for end-to-end application development and deployment.

For users of the Sun WorkShop tools, the following is a simple mapping of the old product names in WorkShop 5.0 to the new names in Forte Developer 6.

Old Product Name	New Product Name
Sun Visual WorkShopTM C++	ForteTM C++ Enterprise Edition 6
Sun Visual WorkShopTM C++ Personal Edition	ForteTM C++ Personal Edition 6
Sun Performance WorkShopTM Fortran	ForteTM for High Performance Computing 6
Sun Performance WorkShopTM Fortran Personal Edition	ForteTM Fortran Desktop Edition 6
Sun WorkShop ProfessionalTM C	ForteTM C 6
Sun WorkShopTM University Edition	ForteTM Developer University Edition 6

In addition to the name changes, there have been major changes to two of the products.

• Forte for High Performance Computing contains all the tools formerly found in Sun Performance WorkShop Fortran and now includes the C++ compiler, so High Performance Computing users need to purchase only one product for all their development needs.
• Forte Fortran Desktop Edition is identical to the former Sun Performance WorkShop Personal Edition, except that the Fortran compilers in that product no longer support the creation of automatically parallelized or explicit, directive-based parallel code. This capability is still supported in the Fortran compilers in Forte for High Performance Computing.

We appreciate your continued use of our development products and hope that we can continue to fulfill your needs into the future.
