SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
True BASIC Development Package for Solaris x86
The True BASIC(TM) Development Package is now available for
SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment. This complete
development environment offers programmers in the business and
scientific communities a variety of tools for quick and easy
development of graphical applications, database front ends and
general purpose utilities. True BASIC combines simplicity and
power, with machine-independent graphics, built-in matrix
functions, libraries and modules, record locking, a single-key
binary tree package, and the ability to accommodate sound and
animation.
True BASIC offers numerous functions that take advantage of the
power and flexibility of Solaris x86. These include support for
pipe processes for interclient and interapplication communication,
access to the shell, and integration of C routines such as hooks
for database systems. True BASIC easily generates PostScript(R)
output for publication-quality images, even from remote text-based
clients. For customers moving from DOS and Windows environments to
Solaris x86, the BASIC-to-True BASIC Converter will convert up to
95 percent of their DOS/Windows-specific code to platform-
independent True BASIC syntax.
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.
True BASIC Features and Benefits
* Productivity: True BASIC allows
programers to create usable software solutions with maximum
productivity, often 20-30 times faster than with other
development environments.
* Portability: True BASIC uses the same
code in its DOS, Macintosh(R) and UNIX versions; users can run
the same True BASIC program on personal computers and
workstations with little or no modification.
* Programming power: True BASIC is an
advanced, structured language that meets ANSI and ISO standards.
It has pioneered every phase of modern BASIC development, and now
allows programmers to take advantage of X Windows and Silicon
Graphics GL(TM) graphics capabilities without having to learn C
language or cope with low-level X Windows details.
* Pedigree: Created by the original
authors of BASIC, True BASIC remains an easy-to-master, powerful
programming language that fully meets international standards and
is fully portable to future operating systems.
* Price: True BASIC remains one of the
finest software values available today.
