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.
