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.
