Introducing AcuXUI:
A Java-based GUI for Any Platform
Want to develop one graphical program and run it on any platform, including UNIX or Linux? Or, would you prefer to run your program in a Java applet? New in Version 8, AcuXUI makes it possible for you to do these things and more. This is because AcuXUI takes advantage of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which can run on virtually any operating system. Click here to learn more about AcuXUI, the latest addition to the extend8 family of solutions.

A New Look for AcuBench
AcuBench Version 8 features new menu icons and toolbars that make it even easier for you to develop and test your applications. It also includes tabbed windows that provide a Microsoft® Visual Studio®-like look and feel.
In addition, with remote debugging and precompiling options and extended remote compile interfaces, AcuBench has the client/server configuration for which you’ve been asking. Improved drag-and-drop functionality, rewritten documentation, built-in support for AcuXUI and Boomerang, and closer integration with distributed processing solutions are just a few of the new enhancements that you’ll enjoy.
