Press Release Body = Excel Software began shipping MacTranslator 2.0 for generating
graphic models from source code. This major upgrade adds PHP support and namespaces
for other languages to organize captured code design.

PHP is a modern language for web site development that supports procedural and
object-oriented programming with integrated database support. UML class diagrams
show PHP classes, interfaces, relationships and class member details. Structure
charts show the hierarchical structure of function calls for each thread of
execution. MacTranslator scans PHP source code to extract design information to a
text file that is imported into the MacA&D modeling tool to generate models.

MacA&D supports Class diagrams and Structure Chart diagrams enriched with PHP
language specific details. Within MacA&D, diagrams contain objects linked directly
to the associated code. An integrated code browser provides seamless navigation
between diagrams and code.

MacTranslator generates models and dictionary information from legacy source code,
class frameworks, open source projects and other reusable code assets. It provides
a fully automated, step-by-step process to quickly create diagrams and dictionary
information that documents an unfamiliar project.

* Project Scalability to Millions of Code Lines Across Thousands of Files and
Folders
* Class Models from Object-Oriented C++, Objective-C, Java, Delphi or PHP
* Rich Data Models from SQL
* Structure Charts from Procedural C, Pascal, Basic, Fortran or PHP
* Multi-Level Diagrams with Objects Linked to Associated Source Code
* Data Types, Arguments, Namespaces and Comments Captured from Code

PHP programs are event driven by end-user actions like clicking a button or
selecting a menu on a web page. A user event often triggers a thread of execution
that involves dozens or even thousands of PHP code lines to run. Together, MacA&D
and MacTranslator can shift through and identify each thread of execution. A
separate Structure Chart is generated for each thread. Reused branches of a program
are presented on a shared child diagram. The process is automated so little human
effort is required to reveal the structure of existing code.

MacTranslator is a Universal Binary application for Intel and PPC Macintosh
computers priced at $495. See www.excelsoftware.com for product information,
pricing, demos and secure online ordering.
