# News Release – Text87 Plus4

TEXT87 PLUS4 is finally out of wraps. Based on the proven technology introduced in the previous releases of text87, the new PLUS4 is a complete rewrite in object orientated ANSI C and 68000 assembly language using state of-the-art development tools and crosscompilers not availabie for ine QL. These tools have enabied us to surpass the specifications of version 3.00 by leaps and bounds, while maintaining program speed and size. There are many new features and commands, but above all we have taken great care to make the program a joy to use for simple editing tasks and for publications with complex layouts.
