Welcome to the world of performance without compromise--the world of
UltraComputing(TM). It lets you do what you do best. Only now you can do
it better with UltraComputing, a genuine step forward in network
computing.
UltraComputing systems from Sun combine supercharged UltraSPARC(TM)
processors, integrated 2-D/3-D graphics acceleration and MPEG video
decompression, a crossbar-switched architecture and high-bandwidth Fast
Ethernet into a single, high-performance system, one that unleashes your
power to create.
UltraComputing Partner Applications
This CD collection of applications provided by our software partners,
along with the rest of the demos, tools and application software that
make up the Ultra(TM) Pack, is designed to help you take advantage of
UltraComputing. Try these applications and you will see how you can
reach a new level of functionality and productivity on your new Sun
Ultra system.
The following descriptions of the partner applications on this CD have
been provided by the respective companies.
* Caldera Imaging Software - Cameleo is a unique professional software
package for image acquisition, processing, retouching, RIP (PostScript
and HPGL/2), color calibration/separation and output. It is the first
1 to 16 bits per color component software (RGB, CMYK, Grayscale)
available on UNIX(R) workstations. It supports many graphics peripheral
devices not previously available in UNIX environments and allows seamless
sharing of those peripheral resources, both printers and scanners, in
heterogeneous client-server environments.
Graffiti is a 32-bit professional software package for image creation,
manipulation, editing, and retouching/photocomposition. It supports
24-bit images with 256 transparency levels per pixel with no size
limitations in eight different file formats. It works on three
distinct and mixable layers, enabling image mixing and photomontage,
in real time. Cameleo and Graffiti work together to provide a total
imaging solution, ideally suited to the superior imaging performance
of Sun's UltraComputing systems.
* The Maestro Presentation Package - Maestro is a suite of more than ten
applications that work together to form a flexible and simple authoring
toolkit. It is extensible so that new applications and media, such as
MPEG movies and animations, can be added quickly and easily to the
authoring environment. It also takes full advantage of the 24-bit
true-color graphics, CD-quality audio, and ONC RPC-based distributed
computing that are standard features of UltraComputing systems from Sun.
* Sun Microsystems Laboratories Tcl/Tk - Tcl is a simple scripting language
that makes it easy to build programmable applications and connect them
together. Tk is a graphical user interface toolkit based on Tcl: it
allows you to create GUI applications by writing Tcl scripts instead of
C code. Together, Tcl and Tk make it possible to build GUI applications
five to twenty times more quickly than with traditional toolkits based
on C or C+. Because Tcl is an interpreted language, it provides
instantaneous turn-around during testing (no long waits for compilation),
but also requires high-performance systems, especially for large
applications. The fast processors and blazing graphics of Sun's new
Ultra machines are ideally suited to executing Tcl/Tk scripts, even for
complex tasks.
* SoftQuad HoTMetaL - SoftQuad HoTMetaL 2.0 is the newest version of
SoftQuad's freely available HTML authoring tool. Based on HoTMetaL
PRO 2.0, SoftQuad's award-winning commercial version, the freeware
version allows users to easily create documents for publication on
the World Wide Web. HoTMetaL's features include point-and-click markup
and multiple toolbars from which common operations can be performed.
HoTMetaL's rules-checking feature ensures users create valid HTML
documents and its previewing capability allows documents to be
previewed from within the user's browser of choice.
* Doom from ID Software - Doom is the exciting 3D underground search and
destroy game that took the web world by storm in recent years. Using
state-of-the-art compression techniques and animation algorithms, the
makers of Doom -- ID Software -- brought video arcade style graphics and
performance to the PC for the first time. Now DOOM goes one better, and
has been ported specifically for the Sun Graphics architecture: DGA. This
version, called "DGA SunDoom", is the fastest, highest resolution version
of Doom you will find anywhere. It includes multi-player network support
and runs especially well on the Ultrasparc Creator Graphics architecture.
Try running at res level 4, you won't believe your eyes!
* Adobe Acrobat Reader - Adobe(R) Acrobat (TM) software lets you create
electronic documents from a wide range of authoring tools for sharing
across different computer platforms, including Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX,
Microsoft Windows, and Macintosh. Simply "print" your documents to the
Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and distribute them over a broad
selection of electronic media, including the World Wide Web, electronic
mail, Lotus Notes (R), or CD-ROM. From the simplest memos to the richest
color brochures, Adobe Acrobat software lets you publish and manage your
documents electronically, preserving their original look and feel,
independent of computer platform or distribution media and without
a large investment of time and money.
* Faximum Fax Modem Software - Faximum Client/Server software provides a
friendly fax client combined with a powerful fax server that will enable
your UltraSPARC machine to provide fax services to your entire network
effortlessly and efficiently.
The graphical user interface lets users submit faxes from their workstations
easily while the command-line interface makes it trivial for programmers to
fax-enable their applications. Advanced features include forms overlay,
least-cost route selection, and intelligent dialing, remote server
administration, support for PostScript and Sun raster files, and many more.
The Faximum product included here is a 30-day evaluation copy and is
compatible with most Class 2 or 2.0 fax modems.
System Requirements
-------------------
* Ultra 1 or Ultra 2 system with Creator or Creator3D graphics
* Solaris 2.5
* OpenWindows 3.5 or CDE 1.1 (For better display quality, it is
possible to run in 24-bit visual mode - instructions for setting
this display mode as your default are included on the CD.)
* CD-ROM drive (or access to one)
* 64MB of memory (adequate performance cannot be guaranteed with less
memory than specified)
* 2GB of disk space
* 64MB of space in /tmp recommended
* 64MB of swap space recommended
* Audio device (internal or external speakers)
Loading Instructions
--------------------
* With File Manager running:
Starting
1. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. If running OpenWindows, File Manager will come up automatically.
Double-click on the "run_demo" icon and when prompted, click
"Run in a Shell Tool".
3. If running CDE, change directories to "/cdrom", and then "cdrom0"
using File Manager. Double-click on "run_demo" and when the
"Action:Run" dialog box comes up, simply click "OK".
Ending
1. If running OpenWindows, click on the "Eject Disk" button in File
Manager.
2. If running CDE, quit the demo interface. In a Shell Tool, type:
% eject cd
* Without File Manager running:
Starting
1. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. In a Shell Tool, log-in as root or super user. Ask your
System Administrator if you need assistance.

3. As root user, type:
# mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
# exit
% cd /cdrom
% ./run_demo
