SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS ICS Builder Xcessory for Solaris x86 Integrated Computer Solutions Incorporated (ICS), the leading supplier of OSF/Motif(R) development tools, now offers its Builder Xcessory(TM) (BX(TM)) 3.0 GUI builder on SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment. BX dramatically reduces user interface development time, without need for proprietary libraries or languages. Application developers can concentrate on their user interface design rather than the underlying code, because BX generates clean, standard C, C++ or UIL (OSF/Motif User Interface Language) code which can be used without royalties or runtime modules. Exceptionally easy to learn and use, BX works much like a paint program. With a mouse, the developer selects graphical objects called "widgets" from the BX Palette. The widgets are then positioned and resized on the display. Custom widgets and C++ objects, as well as collections and screens, can be added to the Palette for subsequent reuse. An extended set of widgets is available in the ICS Widget Databook. A Stable, Open Platform Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX(R) operating environment for the Intel(R) 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 can configure 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 on the Solaris x86 environment.
