-
- GUILD(tm)
-
- Description:
-
- GUILD is a high level GUI tool for development of graphical user
- interfaces by professional C application developers. The GUI is
- developed by using a point-and-click "Resource Builder" while the
- application code is written in C or C++. The GUILD Resource Builder
- has features for automating the attachment of actions (e.g., sending
- messages) and the display of data (e.g., within a list box) to screen
- objects. Data can come from relational databases (e.g., using ODBC).
- This enables GUILD to be used in serious client-server applications.
-
- The GUILD Resource Builder produces a resource file which is separate
- from the application code. This file is loaded at run-time, when
- necessary, which makes GUILD a User Interface Management System. GUILD
- has on-line test and debugging facilities which reduces the need for a
- time-consuming compile, link and test cycle. GUILD is fully 32 bit.
- User interfaces developed in GUILD are portable between all the
- commonly available window managers: Windows 3.1 and NT, UNIX/Motif,
- OS/2 and Macintosh.
-
- Hardware/Software Requirements:
-
- 6MB hard disk space.
-
- Price:
-
- Initial Beta: $900. Free upgrade to NT general release.
- General Release (List): $2,995.

-
- Hamilton C shell(tm)
-
- Description:
-
- Hamilton C shell recreates a tools environment comparable to that of high-end
- UNIX workstation from scratch for Windows NT. The centerpiece is the C shell
- itself, which recreates all the functionality of the original Berkeley UNIX C
- shell but adds numerous enhancements including full-screen command line
- editing, filename and command completion, user-defined and built-in
- procedures, local variables, multi-threading and incremental compilation.
- Over 130 commands, utilities and built-in functions complement the shell,
- including alias, grep, fgrep, head, tail, cut, diff, more, mv, cp, rm, sed,
- tar, xd, chmod, touch, tr, wc and many others. Not simply an attempt to
- cosmetically make NT look like UNIX, Hamilton C shell has been carefully
- designed to follow NT conventions and to be compatible with all NT
- filesystems, networks and applications.
-
- Hardware/Software Requirements:
-
- Hamilton C shell will run on any system capable of running Windows NT.

- *QuickStart for Windows NT*
-
- Description:
-
- Product Description: *QuickStart for Windows NT* allows developers to build
- 32-bit Windows NT applications in their familiar DOS environment.
- QuickStart enables developers to start writing Windows NT applications
- immediately by running Microsoft's standard NT tools (32-bit C/C++ compiler,
- linker and resource compiler) under DOS. Based on Phar Lap's award-winning
- DOS extender technology, QuickStart is designed to ease the transition to
- Windows NT. Because QuickStart runs in the familiar DOS environment,
- programmers can run the NT tools in conjunction with their favorite DOS
- editors, utilities, source control systems and network software. Debugging,
- of course, must be done on the NT system.
-
- Hardware/Software Requirements:
-
- MS-DOS and the Windows NT SDK CD-ROM tools installed.
- 3 megabytes RAM.
