SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
uni-SPF, uni-REXX and uni-XEDIT for Solaris x86
The Workstation Group is now offering three powerful development
tools for IBM(R) mainframe users migrating to UNIX(R) operating
environments such as SunSoft's Solaris(R) x86.
uni-SPF(TM), a UNIX implementation of the IBM ISPF mainframe
interface, provides a complete end-user environment that shields
users from the complexity of UNIX. Its hierarchical structure and
menu-based interface are intuitive and easy to use.
The uni-REXX(R) language allows REXX-trained developers to become
immediately productive in a wide range of UNIX application
development and system control tasks. uni-REXX can replace the
UNIX Shell Programming Language in the automation of basic UNIX
functions.
The uni-XEDIT(R) text editor also facilitates developers'
transition to open systems. This full-screen, full-featured text
editor runs on all UNIX platforms, from workstations to
mainframes. uni-XEDIT supports uni-REXX and can be customized
using uni-REXX macros.
A Stable, Open Platform
Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX 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.
