SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS ACUCOBOL-85 for Solaris x86 ACUCOBOL(R)-85 developers can now bring the power of SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment to their Intel(R) based systems. ACUCOBOL-85 offers compact, highly optimized machine-independent code that is portable across more than 650 platforms. It is the only COBOL compiler that allows users to transport applications to virtually any hardware platform with no recompiling. ACUCOBOL-85 compiles, executes and paints screens with remarkable speed, running at maximum terminal speeds in UNIX(R) environments. Its disk access speed is three timesfaster than other COBOLs in read/write, sorting, general I/O timing and other common functions. For developing windowsfeatures, ACUCOBOL-85 allows users to choose from help screens, pop-up and pull-down menus, three-dimensional shadowing, simultaneous top and bottom window titles, context-sensitive messages, and more. Automatic "hot key" support enables users to open and work in up to eight screens or applications at once. Vision, the ACUCOBOL-85 indexed file system, employs sophisticated file and record compression control, and allows data files to move between machines without conversions. For added flexibility, Vision can be replaced with other file systems including C-ISAM, Btrieve or MINISAM. ACUCOBOL-85 also includes a fast, easy-to-use interactive source code debugger. A Stable, Open Platform Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX operating environment for the Intel x86 platform. Designed as a foundation for enterprise computing, it supports major industry standards and provides high-performance 32-bit UNIX multitasking, multithreading and multiuser capabilities. Solaris x86 is compatible with Solaris SPARC(R), ensuring full interoperability between the leading CISC (x86) and RISC (SPARC) platforms. And Solaris x86 is scalable from desktops to supercomputers, so that customers canconfigure heterogeneous enterprise networks and expand them easily as their computing needs evolve. Solaris x86 provides native ONC+(TM) technology-based LAN and WAN networking to support broadly distributed computing and system management. Solaris also includes powerful application and Graphical User Interface (GUI) development tools through the OpenWindows(TM) facility, and a rich suite of user productivity applications under DeskSet(TM). Numerous commercial third-party applications, including many Microsoft(R) Windows and DOS applications, run in the Solaris x86 environment.
