SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS Micro Focus for Solaris x86 Micro Focus(R) Inc., the leading supplier of high-performance COBOL development products, now offers a powerful array of UNIX(R) application development and implementation tools for the Solaris(TM) x86 software environment. These products are designed for use in developing cross-platform, client/server, and mainframe offloading solutions for organizations engaged in rightsizing to heterogeneous enterprise networks. Micro Focus COBOL(TM) for UNIX is a powerful compiler that fully exploits 32-bit UNIX architectures. It supports cross-platform compatibility at both the source and object levels, and its use of mainframe syntax ensures a high level of mainframe support. Micro Focus Toolbox(TM) for UNIX complements the COBOL compiler with integrated, closely coupled tools that facilitate application development and distribution, and improve programmer productivity. Micro Focus Dialog System(TM) for UNIX enables developers to easily create character-oriented user interfaces for client/server applications, test and maintain them independently of the application. Micro Focus Operating System Extensions(TM) for UNIX (OSX(TM)) provides a common base of facilities across multiple operating systems, to support transparent application portability. A Stable, Open Platform Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX software 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.
