Amzi! enables the easy integration of intelligent components with conventional applications allowing you to add logic-bases that give advice, configure and tune systems, diagnose problems, apply business rules, monitor processes and parse documents. Your applications access a logic-base of rules just as a database server accesses records. The rules are expressed in Prolog which has powerful, built-in search and pattern matching capabilities. The Amzi! Logic Server is encapsulated as a C++ Class and C API Interface. You can add your own Prolog functions in C/C++. Includes: compiler, listener, debugger, linker, EXE, generator, call-in/call-out Logic Server API, full documentation, comprehensive Prolog tutorial and lots of sample code.

The Professional Edition includes an unlimited, royalty-free license. The Personal Edition is limited to distributing applications for non-commercial use only.

Dynace (pronounced like ``dynasty'' without the ``t'') is a preprocessor, include files and a library which extends the C language with advanced object oriented capabilities, automatic garbage collection and multiple threads. Dynace is designed to solve many of the problems associated with C++ while being easier to learn and containing more flexable object oriented facilities. Dynace is able to add facilities previously only available in languages such as Smalltalk and CLOS without all the overhead normally associated with those environments.

This program helps to create a complete, indexed documentation from your sources (C, tcl, Perl currently available, other will follow soon).
You add documentation information to your scripts using pod (Plain old documentation), the documentation format also used in Perl. The documentation options provided by pod are simple and easy to learn but powerfull enough to create nice and good looking documents.
sdoc uses this information to create a pod-document which in turn may be transformed to HTML, LaTeX (and PostScript), nroff or just plain text.
The preview function of tdoc lets you create documentation interactively - add or modify your documentation to the source file and check the output for correctness.
Here are some highlights:
The Tcl Documenter is also available as a commercial version. This version adds the following features:
3.5" diskettes and Internet (EMail and WWW).
You can download the public domain version of sdoc from the neosoft tcl archive:
You need an ELF based system with X11.

Installation support included, additional support available.

SEDIT is a powerful Unix text editor patterned after IBM's XEDIT editor. It operates with a GUI under X windows or in character mode from a tty device. S/REXX is a full Unix implementation of IBM's SAA procedural language except that the numeric digit specification is limited to 15 digits. S/REXX functions as an imbedded macro language for SEDIT as well as providing a powerful modern programming language alternative to shell scripting languages. SEDIT and S/REXX may be purchased in a bundle or individually. See our web site for more information including pricing for Linux, etc. For additional information, please contact one of the local distributors listed on the web site or mail us at sedit@dialup.FranceNet.fr
4mm, 8mm, 1/4" or 3.5" diskettes and Internet (FTP).
SEDIT and S/REXX are licensed products. See the above WWW site for details. For demo purposes, a short term license key will be provided on request to anyone who obtains the product via ftp.
We believe these products will work with any recent stable Linux kernel since 1.1.18 supporting a.out format. Motif is fully bound with SEDIT and SEDIT is distributed with XFree86 3.1 shared libraries for use if your system is not at that level.
Documentation is furnished in PostScript form, in extensive online help files, and in optional printed manuals.
Technical support is available for all licensed users. For maintenance, see the above URLs.
A REXX interactive graphical debugger is available as an optional feature as are printed manuals, physical media, and on going maintenance. See the above URLs.
The original Linux version has been available since 3rd quarter 1995.
SEDIT and S/REXX are available worldwide. The URLs should be consulted for current information.
Pricing information should be requested from the local distributor responsible for your country. An economical 2 user license is available for Linux without media or printed documentation with other options for more users, S/REXX, hardcopy manuals, etc.

ST/X is a complete implementation of the Smalltalk programming language with development environment providing all of the advantages you would expect from Smalltalk: a fully object oriented programming language, a graphical development environment with editors, browsers, symbolic debugger, incremental compiler and just-in-time compilation to machine code as well as an extensive class library.
CD-ROM.
There are non-commercial, evaluation and commercial licences available. There is also demo version on the Internet, although it is quite old, this should be updated at some time in 1997.
ST/X requires 32 MB or more of memory and 100 MB hard disk space.
The ST/X documentation is available online as hypertext (HTML).
eXept Software AG provides mentoring, training, and consulting. Onsite support is also available. For the commercial licence there is an update service and maintenance support.
ST/X includes a supplementary stand-alone machine code compiler and the possibility to embed C code directly into Smalltalk methods. This allows the exploitation and use of existing C libraries or a performance improvement in the speed of time critical operations. An integral part of ST/X is an HTML browser which is fully implemented in Smalltalk. It supports network loadable Smalltalk applets and smalltalk scripts embedded in HTML pages. This allows the development of Internet and Intranet applications analogous to Java.
ST/X has been available as a beta version on the Internet for quite a while. eXept Software AG has been further developing and marketing ST/X since 1996. Claus Gittinger (the developer from ST/X) is a founding member of eXept.
World wide.
There are non-commercial, evaluation and commercial licences available. The commercial licence costs US$3,500. A six month evaluation licence costs US$350. The non-commercial license is available for US$150 plus shipping and handling.

This is a profiler for tcl scripts. It allows the creation of profiling data from your tcl programms and later analysis and detailed inspection through a graphical frontend.
This tool is especially well suited if you encounter performance problems with your tcl scripts. Instead of rewriting the whole application in C you can isolate time-critical procedures and speed them up (if necessary using C).
