On JReal Software officially changed their name to Xojo, Inc. Real Software also announced Real Studio Web Edition, allowing developers to compile web applications without the knowledge of multiple web technologies. In 2010, to combat the misperception that REALbasic was similar to the original BASIC, it was renamed Real Studio. In 2009, a migration assistant was launched to help move code from Visual Basic. In 2004 REAL software announced the 'Made with REALbasic Showcase' program to highlight applications created with the product. The new IDE sported a new user interface redesigned to more closely resemble Xcode. The option to compile for Linux was added in 2005 and the IDE was ported to Windows and as a free public beta for Linux platforms. Windows builds contained many bugs when finally released, and it was very difficult to write applications that ran on both Mac OS and Windows. Prior to REALbasic version 2, the Java target was dropped and later replaced with a Windows target and database support. The CrossBasic name was trademarked by another company, so the product was renamed REALbasic. A public beta was released in April 1996. CrossBasic got its name from its ability to compile the same programming code for Mac OS and the Java virtual machine (although the integrated development environment was Mac only). In 1997 FYI Software, founded by Geoff Perlman, bought CrossBasic, which had been marketed by its author Andrew Barry as a shareware product.
