- [PDSS Release]
-
- PDSS (PIMOS Development Support System) is a system to execute KL1
- programs on BSD UNIX workstations, and compatibility with the KL1 system
- on the Multi-PSI/PIM is preserved except in the implementation method and
- execution efficiency. Executing large scale KL1 programs on PDSS
- directly is difficult because of several constraints, but relatively
- small programs or parts of large programs are executable on PDSS.
-
- PDSS is released as ICOT Free Software at the second release on 7th
- September.
