Lexa Software Announces That The Eden Cross Platform Development Environment Now Fully Supports SGI IRIX.SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 1996--Lexa Software announced today that the Eden Tools C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ cross platform development environment now fully supports SGI (SGI, Sunnyvale, CA, www.sgi.com) A manufacturer of workstations and servers, founded in 1982 by Jim Clark. The company was founded as Silicon Graphics, Inc., but changed to its acronym in 1999. IRIX A Unix-based operating system from SGI that is used in its computer systems from desktop to supercomputer. It is an enhanced version of Unix System V Release 4. IRIX integrates the X Window system with OpenGL, creating the first real time 3D X environment. in addition to virtually all other Unix platforms. "We have found an increasing number of developers that are using SGI's larger machines for application development," Phil Lumish, Lexa's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said. "The design of our Eden environment permits these developers to then deploy the new applications onto their SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill and other hardware platforms. Our unique capability of delivering executable binaries to the deployment machines makes the entire development activity both faster and less expensive," Lumish stated. Eden has been shipping SPARC SunOS and Solaris platform versions for over a year. License for single users range from $1,500 to $4,500 with discounts available for multiple user environments. Site and corporate licenses are also available. Lexa has recently started to offer Eden Tools through both single and double tier distribution channels and is aggressively seeking VARs, Systems Integrators and resellers that are familiar with development tools to work with the software. Lexa Software offers Eden (Enterprise Development Environment) Tools for C/C++ development. Eden provides compilers and utilities for both native and cross platform development. The core of these tools is a set of C/C++ compilers that support: Development and Deployment Platforms: UTS (Universal Timesharing System) Amdahl's version of Unix System V. Release 4.0 is POSIX compliant. 2.1 and 4.x, SGI R4400 IRIX 5.x, RS/6000 AIX, SPARC/Solaris 2.x, SPARC/SunOS 4.1.x, Pyramid DC/OSx, SNI SINIX SINIX Siemens-Nixdorf Sinix Siemens Unix , PowerPC AIX, PowerPC Windows NT, DEC Alpha Windows NT. In addition Eden offers a series of utilities that let the developer generate executables on the development platform that run directly on the deployment platform. These are: as:assembler, ar:archiver, ld:link editor for object file, nm:print name list of object file, lorder:find ordering relation for an object or library archive, tsort:topological sort. Eden is designed to let the developer use a current version of an OS to develop applications for a new version of that OS before the new OS is readily available to users. It also permits development on a mainframe or workstation or both. Eden supports standard industry debuggers such as gdb/ddd. In Lexa's C++ Compilers Eden supports: ANSI C++ mode, Cfront 2.1 compatibility mode, Cfront 3.0 compatibility mode, mixed ANSI C++ and Cfront constructs. In the c compilers Eden supports: ANSI C mode, K&R mode, Mixed mode which adds features to ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. to facilitate the porting of older programs. Eden supports the following standards: ANSI c X3.159-1989, ANSI C++ X3J 16/95-0087 (draft), XOPEN XPG4, System V Interface Definitions (SVR4 targets), C++ ABI Abi (ā`bī) [short for Abijah], in the Bible, King Hezekiah's mother. (Application Binary Interface) A specification for a specific hardware platform combined with the operating system. compliant for Sun C++ 4.0, MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. ABI compliant for SGI IRIX 5.3, Pyramid DC/OSx and SNI SINIX. Lexa was organized in 1994 as an off-shoot of Amdahl Corp.'s tools group. Since its inception, Lexa has developed a series of cross-platform and native development tools. Since Lexa became independent it has had substantial success in placing these products into financial organizations as well as hardware manufacturers.
