Absoft Corporation and Bradly Associates have announced immediate availability of a new Pro Fortran + GINO GUI bundle for Windows. This new bundle combines Absoft's complete Pro Fortran compiler suite with a special companion version of Bradly Associate's GINO GUI tools. Bradly Associates UK, well known for their high-end GINOMENU and graphics lines have created a variation of their $990 GINOMENU and GINOMENU Studio products for this bundle called GINO GUI Lite. GINO GUI Lite includes all the existing functions in the GINOMENU library and all the functionality found in the GINOMENU Studio GUI-builder, the only difference being the maximum number of widgets which can be incorporated into a single application is 150. Everything else is the same. GINO GUI Lite has an SRP of $395 and is available only as part of the Absoft Pro Fortran bundle and is not sold separately. The Absoft + GINO GUI Lite bundle is available exclusively from Absoft and Absoft resellers world-wide. Pro Fortran + GINO GUI Lite bundle prices start at just $299 academic and $699 USD commercial.

Absoft states this bundle not only provides exceptional value for Fortran developers, but offers functionality and ease of use not available from any other Fortran vendor. Pro Fortran + GINO GUI Lite not only provides industry leading, multi-threaded application performance, but also allows Fortran developers to easily add interactive Windows interfaces to their Fortran applications without getting involved in MFC, API or mixed-language programming. No knowledge of system event loops or window handles is required. This bundle is compatible with Windows XP/Vista/Win7. There are no runtime fees.

All customers ordering Absoft Pro Fortran v11.1 for Windows after May 20, 2011, will receive GINO GUI Lite at no additional charge. Registered customers who purchased Pro Fortran v11.1 for Windows up to 60 days prior, are eligible for a free copy of GINO GUI Lite and should contact Absoft sales@Absoft.com for details.

"The addition of GINO GUI Lite to the Pro Fortran bundle adds tremendous value and capabilities for our customers," said Wood Lotz, president of Absoft Corp. "The combined functionality of the Pro Fortran suite plus GINO GUI Lite at $395 off normal SRP is unmatched in the industry! For those not familiar with GINO, they will find it a superb product, and adding user interfaces to their Fortran program, extremely intuitive. There is nothing else with this level of performance, functionality and price from any other Fortran vendor," continued Lotz.

For Absoft + GINO GUI Lite customers who wish to upgrade or purchase additional GINO products, the bundle offers yet another benefit - up to $800 discounts off standard SRP on all other GINO products. Contact Absoft sales@absoft.com for details.

"Absoft compilers generate some of the fastest code available and Absoft leads the Fortran industry with many innovation solutions," said Kevin Bradly of Bradly Associates. "Fortran remains extremely popular with the scientific/engineering community and many of those applications benefit from GUIs. We are pleased to partner with Absoft to offer this special, high performance GUI builder/compiler bundle for Fortran developers. GINO is the easiest and most flexible way to add a GUI to a Fortran application and GINO GUI Lite with Absoft Pro Fortran offers great flexibility, performance and unsurpassed value. No learning API calls or special programming. GINO GUI Lite allows developers to build basic interfaces for their Fortran programs with just 15 lines of code," continued Bradly.
