Applications and Scripts on Windows
|
Microsoft Interix 2.2 provides a
powerful, high-performance environment in which to easily
run UNIX-based applications and scripts on the Window NT
and Windows 2000 operating systems. Interix offers:
 | A complete environment for
UNIX-based applications. It provides over 300
utilities and tools which behave exactly as they would
on other UNIX-based systems.
| | High performance.
Interix 2.2 is a native subsystem to Windows, not an
emulation product, which means that performance won't
suffer when you run UNIX-based applications
on Interix.
| | Easy migration using the
Interix 2.2 SDK. The software development kit
(SDK) included with Interix 2.2, makes it easy to
migrate existing UNIX-based applications to the
Interix environment. It supports over 1900 UNIX
application programming interfaces (APIs), and its
tools include make, rcs, yacc, lex, cc, c89, nm,
strip, gbd, gcc, g++, and g77 comilers. |
When combined with Windows 2000, Interix
provides customers a single enterprise platform on
which they can run all of their Windows-, UNIX-, and
Internet-based applications. As part of a single platform
for the enterprise, Interix provides:
| Full integration with
Windows. Interix is fully integrated with the
Windows desktop, security model, and file system, and
thus gives users the advantages of both worlds.
| | Lower TCO. Interix
enables customers to standardize their applications on
a single platform, thus reducing total cost of
ownership (TCO) by lowering administration and
maintenance costs.
| | Enhanced application
development. With Interix, UNIX developers
can begin taking advantage of the power of the
Windows 2000 platform for the development of the next
generation of applications. |
Microsoft Interix 2.2 provides UNIX
users and system administrators a familiar environment and
set of tools with which they can take advantage of their
existing UNIX expertise:
| Extensive scripting support. Interix
enables users to maintain the use of common scripting
languages and tools. Shells supported include: KornShell
and C Shell. Scripting languages
supported include awk, perl, sed, and Tcl/Tk
.
| | Familiar administration
tools. Interix provides UNIX system
administrators a familiar set of tools including rsh,
rlogin, telnet and xterm. Batch tools,
such as At, cron and batch, enable
efficient system administration.
| | The look and feel of UNIX. Interix
provides the ability to preserve the look and feel of
UNIX-based applications, thus eliminating the
need to retrain users. |
